LETTER FROM THE
PRESIDENT - Good friends, good fun, good food
and lots of great reining horses! That is what you missed if you
did not attend our Snaffle Bit Futurity Show! I would like to
thank everyone for coming to our show. I would like especially to thank Kim Rose for hosting a surprise birthday party
for me on Friday night! Thank you to those of you who sponsored
the Lawson Bronze trophies for this show...Dave & Barb Wilkins, Bill &
Gloria Bradley, Bob Rosenfeld & Clark/Wolfe Performance Horses. The qualifying shows are now over with so be sure
to check the NRHA website for those who qualify to show in the East
Coast Affiliate Championship classes in Springfield, OH in September.

AUGUST SHOW - The August show
was a wonderful show full of good horses and some great times with our
reining friends. The show began on Friday with the Novice, Non
Pro, Open and Green classes and was followed that evening by a surprise Birthday cookout hosted by Kim Rose for our President
Rick Clark. Kim had OVRHA members Skip Ruhlen and Kelly Pinkston
doing the cooking and, as usual, they did a wonderful job with hamburgers,
hotdogs and all the "fixins" plus a birthday cake for Rick. Larry
Floyd had also fixed a batch of his famous chicken gumbo for everyone to try.
Kim also had a huge blow up slide for the kids (didn't I see Rick Clark
on that too???) and corn hole for the kids and adults to play.
Saturday classes began with the Youth, Rookie and Green and then we had
the John W. Clark Oil Snaffle Bit Futurity. This was probably one
of the deepest futurities we have ever had! Following the Snaffle
Bit Futurity was another cookout, this time hosted by Harold & Becky
Jordan for daughter Lyndsey who was leaving for her first year of
college in Auburn, AL. Once again, Skip and Kelly did the cooking
and this time we were treated to Deep Fried Cajun Turkeys. Several
members set up some hay bales with cow heads attached and a little "calf
roping" competition took place. Where else but at a reining show
can you have this much fun?
