Summer 2007
2007 June ODMHA
President’s Message
We have added a picnic meeting to our calendar.
It will be a potluck picnic and a “Fruits of Summer Raffle” It is scheduled for 14 July at Edgewood Farm in Beaverdam,
VA. Beginning at 11:00 a.m. There will be a club meeting at 11:30, and we will plan on eating around 12:30 and have the raffle
after lunch. So bring a favorite dish to share at the picnic, and a baked good, vegetables from the garden, flowers, plants
or herbs to be raffled. There will be plenty of time for fellowship, and other activities will include swimming, a 1796 house
and a country store museum to tour for anyone that is interested.
The Big News is that Shelly Temple (one of
our ODMHA board members), her husband Fran Doto and her Morgan (Cooper) have made the US team for Pony Driving Championships
in Denmark July 18 –22 2007. They need our support in raising funds. You can send a check made payable to: The American
Morgan Horse Institute
Send it to:
Catalyst Driving
Center
1690 Capeway Rd.
Powhatan, VA 23139
We wish them the best of luck and will be
cheering them on!!
Also a new member, Dawn Cooper, who is an
Equine Myo-Therapist, is offering to do a clinic to help raise money for Team Cooper. The clinic will be held 21-22 July at
Shallowbrook Farm in Rockville, VA. She will evaluate each horse for $50 and will donate 100% of this money to The American
Morgan Horse Institute for Shelly, and if someone wanted a lesson ($55) on the second day, a portion of that money would go
to Shelly. Dawn will be speaking at our July meeting to give an overview of what she does.
The next big news is that the website is finally
up and running. Be sure to check it out. (www.odmhamorgans.com) I wish to thank my daughter-in-law, Missy Monolo for the great
job, and my husband, Joe, who is becoming quite the web expert.
Finally, do not forget to sign-up for the
fix-a-clinic with Helen George, which will be held 11 August at Shallowbrook Farm in Rockville, VA. It will be a great opportunity
to practice your dressage test before our ODMH Show.
Looking forward to seeing
you all at the picnic meeting. Bring a guest.
Sandy Monolo
