Horseman of the year is someone who is dedicated in promoting the paints and gives up a significant amount of their time to vollenteer for the paint breed in California. Each year the CCC committee takes votes from all the paint clubs and then gets together and votes on a horseman of the year, this person gets featured in the California Paint Horse Directory.

Sharyn Fincer vollenteered to organize the Year End Awards program.

Christmas Party:
Discussion was held over where to have the party. It is still undecided where to have the meeting. Sharyn suggested the first weekend of  December, Saturday December 7th. Sharyn vollenteered her house, if she is still in town. Ann Curtis offered to host it Sharyn can't have it at her house.

Linda Tacklind brought up a issue brought to her by Jan Larsen. She asked the club to bring this up at the CCC meetings that the walk trot category should be a one rider one horse combination for 2003. Walk trot has never been that way, it was any horse, at any show and compete for the same saddle award. Linda suggested we bring this to the CCC to be aware of for the 2003 season.

Nancy Fenn brought up the issue of having other events for the club besides just shows, clinics, trail riding, colt breaking etc. Our club used to do things that weren't all about horse shows and making money. Nancy suggested we do more for the community and teaching others about the breed. Kasha Ford will organize a Club Trail Ride, contact her if you are interested and what weekends are good, info@alternativemarketingsolutions.com.

Nancy stated Taylor Made Farms was in favor

A motion was made to have more of the extracurrcular activies, this was seconded and approved. Libby Flores will organize a list, trial,

APHA is trying to pass a rule not to allow double registered horses. Most of our directors approve of this. In order to stop this, we need to each write letters to the Directors telling them you don't approve. Libby Flores and Kristi Abrams will create and send out the email to Melissa Berschens who will forward a copy to the club and post on the website  Please send this out back to the directors. You must include your APHA number on the letter.
