APRIL 2008
Hello Members, Hope everyone
is enjoying Spring!! Yea it has finally arrived, yes a little wet and cool, but
hot dry days are just around the corner.
Speaking of hot, how about the Open gals, want to see where your horse
is running with the heater dogs? They are leaving nothing behind when they head
down that alley, Wow Wow Wee!!!
This is an information letter so I’ll get
right to it:
1.
Hope you have
made a note of the schedule change, be sure and check the web site, and I have
also made some copies of the schedule that you may pick up at the sign up
table.
2.
We are also
having a Barrel race in the Dome in June 29 that is a Sunday after our regular
race on the 28 of June. Both races in
Belton, just the one on Sunday is in the Dome with added money, I have also
made copies of the flyer and those will be available at the sign up table.
3.
My church is
sponsoring a barrel race at the Phillips Arena on FM 965, across from Sue
Miller’s house, on Sunday April 20th, starting 10 am with
exhibitions, 5-D, giving buckles and awards through 3rd place. So please try and attend, Corey Ross will be
preaching starting at 9am.
4.
Don’t forget our
scholarship essay contest for all of our seniors, see Lynn Rich in the office
for an application, and remember it is $1000 towards the college of your
choice.
5.
Pee Wee parents,
we voted at the membership meeting that each parent would pay a fee to go
towards the bag for the assisted and non money winners unassisted. I heard
myself a little girl bring her bag back and state that she didn’t like what was
in the bag, if you would like to buy something to go in the bags as opposed to
the fee, please feel free to do so, I’m sure it gets to be redundant for the
kids as it does the board to find something fun to put in those bags.
6.
We want to thank
NRS, for giving us the gift certificates and prizes at the
7.
Here is the amount
of saddles we are giving, and they have been order:
Open—10 Youth---7 Poles---5
Novice---5 All Around –1 Pee Wee—1
8.
Fax entries- I
know some of ya’ll are wondering how the system works. Every entry has a time and date on the fax
sheet, so even if you choose to fax in at 12:01, that does not always mean you
will be the very first, we have offered to our board members the opportunity to
fax their forms in on Sunday, that is the only benefit that we have gotten for
the long days and hours at the computer before and after the race, so if you fax an entry in at 5am, there could
be 30 ahead of yours, and if you fax an entry in on Tuesday and want in the top
50, that will not be possible. Jamie usually has 80 by 10AM on Monday, so if
you’re faxing in Monday afternoon or Tuesday, you very likely will not get in
the top 75. I am not sure what the
remedy will be to get you in on the desired number you request, but you have to
be realistic in your desire of what number you want and what time you send the
fax. Saturday in

And last, we
really want to hear from you, if you have a complaint, let me know. If you have
suggestions write it down and give it to
