Winter: A Time to Reflect

The shows are over and the horses are ready for some downtime (well some of them anyway). Others are feeling the first signs of winter with the little snow that has fallen over the past month. On the heels of a successful show season and elegant awards banquet at the Hilton, many take time to reflect on the goals that were met as well as think about show objectives yet to be achieved. The winter break is a great time to continue practicing on your horse or pony, hone riding skills, and prepare for loftier goals in 2010. Take advantage of the winter season downtime and just have fun with your equine partner.

Please keep the show stories and other news coming! We will do our best to post the news online and include it in our quarterly 2010 newsletter just as soon as we get it. If you do have news, photos or classified information, please forward to the UHJA Newsletter Chair Person Betsy Gilstrap at betsy.gilstrap@gmacfs.com or to the UHJA Website Manager Lee Rech at lee@lbrcommunications.com.

Of course, the UHJA board thanks each and everyone of you for your continued support and club recommendations, and we look forward to seeing all of you and your horses and ponies next year when we kickoff the 2010 UHJA show season.

Janna Hambor, President
