PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

At our last meeting, Gretchen Richards delivered an informative lecture on the equine digestive system, nutrition, and body conformation for a healthy and not so healthy animal. This was the second such lecture and slide show by a representative of Purina Mills this calendar year and the club appreciates their time and effort. The meeting had some stiff competition from some threatening weather and a trails issue at the Cave Creek council meeting, but we still had a good crowd.

There is going to be a parade in Anthem, Saturday, November 12th at 09:00AM sponsored by the Daisy Mountain Veterans. If you would like the club to ride in the parade and you would participate call Susan Dryer 623-465-1374.
