Youth Club Report: Ashley Guerriero, Christina McGurran & Hanna Fenn gave a report on the Leadership Conference they attended along with Kendall Carraher in Nebraska. They presented the club a Thank You note expressing their gratitude in the ability to attend the conference and for the clubs sponsorship. The youth club spent some of their winning from the “From the Heart” award on a day at Great America. Unfortunately only three girls were able to attend. They discussed during their meeting what they’d like to accomplish next year:

1. Earn $10,000.00

3. Donate $100.00 to Sharon Curtis

The girls gave a great report they obviously picked up a lot at the conference.

Non-pro longe line, Open longe line, Non-pro hunt seat equitation and Open hunt seat Equitation. There are several more. Will have more information at the next meeting.

Debbie Kent will be on-site at the show for awards. It was recommended that the premium contain explicit rules for the futurities to save some of this year’s confusion. Steve would like to get a jump on sponsorships for the show. He asked that we have some sponsorships ready at the next meeting. Sponsorship forms can be found on our web site.

CCC Rule Changes for 2003:

The rules were passed as submitted, with the exception that 11 & under walk trot be specified as a one –horse, one-rider division. Points to be tabulated as a one horse one rider basis.  

Open Rule Changes for 2003:

The rules were passed as submitted, with the same clarification of the 11 & under walk trot division being a one-horse one-rider event. The participant may exhibit more than one horse; except the points earned will be tabulated separately. 

There was a brief discussion about our one-day show next year. It was asked by Kristi Abrams, rather than have just a one-day show is it possible to do a two-day show with another club? We have our show say on a Saturday and they have their show on a Sunday? That way we may get a better turn out. Diane Lang will look into the CCC ruling and the minimum number of classes to be held at each day's show and report back to the club.
