ROSE RANCH STABLES BARN NEWS!It was a busy December at Rose Ranch Stables. For more details, click on the following link for an update: Barn News. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Horse Show Committee Chairman, Mariah O’Malley, presented a tentative UHJA competition schedule—so nice to have the schedule so early in the season! Makes it easy to plan vacations and out of state shows. The 2012 schedule is displayed on this website. Nancy Armantrout, Treasurer provided up to date financial figures—like the USA, the UHJA is facing budget problems but the club has a nice surplus in the bank. We will need to be extremely careful this year in planning the two UHJA horse shows and the annual banquet. However, a one-time tax expense incurred in 2011 is not expected to reoccur this year. The board discussed various aspects of the 2011 UHJA banquet and decided to begin exploration of possible new venues. Snowbird and Park City were mentioned; membership input is encouraged. The club needs a location able to serve at least 250 guests. Contact a board member if you can suggest a good location. Thanks to Janna Hambor, UHJA members who won year end awards in 2011 will be featured in an upcoming (March) issue of The Chronicle of the Horse. Out-of-state winter shows begin in January. Good luck to all trainers and members who venture out into the fray. The next UHJA meeting will be in March at Buca’s and all interested members are encouraged to attend.

Over a dozen board members attended the first UHJA meeting of 2012 at Buca’s in Midvale, January 18. The four new board members who were voted in during the last election were all in attendance; Megan Spencer, Lacey Bizios, Vicky Cozzens and Hillary Howe. This year’s board has great diversity—Saltaire, Mountain View, Promontory, Alta Hills, Rose Ranch, Gemini and Lynnleigh Farm were all represented. Board members range in age from 20 to 70+ indicating the UHJA will benefit from diverse ideas and opinions at each of its monthly meetings.
