LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT -  The Clayton Woosley Hall of Fame Show, our joint venture with Central Kentucky Reining Horse Association, was a great show and a very successful venture.  I would like to thank everyone for attending and supporting the show.  The Kentucky Horse Park is a beautiful setting for a horse show.  The weather was great, the ground good, there were lots of vendors available for shopping and classes for everyone from green rider to Open.  The competition at this show was amazing from the Brownwood Farm Derby held on Friday evening, the USEF Young Rider Championships on Saturday afternoon to the ultimate....the USEF Open Championships on Saturday night.  I had many compliments on how well the show was organized and run between the two clubs and just how much fun the show was.    Many thanks go to Todd Knerr and his show management staff who made things run smoothly.  I would also like to thank all our OVRHA members who worked so hard before, during and after the show.  The OVRHA CWHOF show committee consisted of myself, Kathy Lopp, Dave Wilkins, Joe Wolfe, Becky Jordan, and Kim Jividen.  Dale Lopp worked the ground at the show and did an exceptional job, as always.  Doug Breeding also helped Dale with the ground.  Becky Jordan did a wonderful job hosting the USEF Reception on Saturday evening.  Thanks go to the members who stayed after the show was over to help with the cleanup....Kim Jividen, Dustin Deckard and Joe Wolfe.  If you missed this show this year, you will want to mark your calendars now and be sure to attend the next one.

     Rick Clark, President OVRHA

DAN CLARKE MEMORIAL FUND - During The Clayton Woosley Hall of Fame Show, several OVRHA members put together a silent auction with the proceeds to go to Dan's wife Carole to help with funeral costs and medical bills.   Lynn Savage provided free coffee courtesy of Commander Riminic along with a donation box for those wishing to put money toward the fund.  Many vendors and members donated services or items that were bid on throughout the week.  The auction ended on Saturday evening during the USEF Open Championship finals.  A grand total of $6,500 was raised and presented to Carole after the July Jackson show.  A very appreciative and grateful thank you to all who donated for this cause.
