September 19, 2010 Open Show

The last show of the season is in two weeks.  You have to see the improvements that have been made at Horsemen's Center.  Trees have been planted near the Show Office and near the bleachers and I hear that sand has been added to the big show arena.  The Town of Apple Valley has really stepped up.  Come check it out!

The show is PAC and OCAP approved.  Registration begins at 7:00; judging starts at 8:00 a.m. Premiums and show packets are available - call Kara Olson at 760/686-3695 or 760/961-4242 or Lisa LaMere at 760/948-1315.  (A copy is also attached to this posting.  Click to enlarge.)

Pre-entries are due Thursday, September 16.  You will save you $2.00 per class and will help move things along in the Show Office. ;-)  Pre-entries can be faxed to (760) 244-8990.

As always, we have some great prizes and our raffle is already stocking up!  Expect hamburgers, hotdogs, chili and other goodies at our Snack Shack.  As always, free coffee before 8:00 a.m.

Bodie at the Rainbow Bridge

One of our favorite ranch dogs has gone on to the Rainbow Bridge.  Bodie was always a welcome sight at our MRVHA shows and loved having his belly rubbed.  We will miss him a whole bunch, but not as much as Laura and Tob Fowler. Click on the image to enlarge.
