The Juniors are invited to come as well and help out at the show and watch and learn.
I'd like to get with the Seniors and discuss who is interested in what classes etc, so please call or email me and I will go over it with you individually.
From my understanding Emily, Grace and Cloie will be participating. We need to confirm what horses are going, trailer space etc...so please contact me.

Also, I contacted Marilyn about having our members help out and volunteer at the show and they are excited to have us and sent the following reply:

Hi Julie!

We’d love to have the help. Kathy said she can use some help at the gate, we can have a few go through the parking lot announce upcoming classes, maybe have one in the ring with Anita that can run the clip board over to the office window. We’ll find things for them to do, and we’re very appreciative!
