I hope everyone has survived the bad weather of January and February. Given
all the snow that has kept us from equine pursuits, I’m sure I’m not the only one who is longing for Spring to
get here.
BOARD MEETING
The ODMHA Board met on January 16that the Rockville Library.
This was followed by a meeting of the Show Committee. Both groups discussed the Fall Show at length, and decided that given
the Show’s finances, and the economy in general, we would not put on a show in 2010. Instead we will spend this year
on various fund raising events so that we can afford to put on a really good show in 2011.
Our main fund raising activity will be to hold a series of clinics in various
disciplines and in various parts of the state. We will advertise these to the general public, charge for auditors, and sell
food. We have volunteers for all the clinics:
- Dressage = Kathy Freise & Brooke Logan
- Saddle seat & Fitting and Showmanship = Beryl Herzog & Karen Sansom
- Jumping = Dawn Cooper & Michelle Scott
- Trail = Timmerie Cohen & Kimberly Lawrence
- Driving = Sharon Smith & Martha Allen
- Western = Beryl Herzog & Karen Sansom
These volunteers can always use more help and ideas, so please feel
free to contact any of them with suggestions or questions. Other fundraising
ideas are also welcome.
We will be finalizing the Clinic Events calendar for the year over the next
few weeks so keep checking the website, odmhamorgans.com for the schedule.

CONDOLENCES:
We offer our sympathy to Dutch and Penny Dorschel on the death of their
beloved gelding Gralotte Irishman (TM Gem Beam x Gralotte Willowanne). “Irish” lived to the ripe old age of thirty and was a true gentleman, who was always willing to provide rides to timid
novices.
