PRESIDENTS LETTER

Welcome back to all!   We’re saddling up for the next ride year.  A group of volunteers had a planning meeting last week and came up with lots of good ideas for the years activities.  We’ll give you an overview in this newsletter.  

Meetings will be every other month on the 3rd TUESDAY and will be held at The Harris Bank at El Pedregal at 7:00 PM. 

 Mark these dates: 

Sep 20, Nov 15, Jan 17, Mar 20, May 15          

 Newsletters will also be coming out every other month.  The same month as the meeting – Sep, Nov, Jan, Mar, May. On the off months we will attempt to do an EMAIL BLAST for an event update.  

 If you want to get this information and do not do email, please let me know and we’ll put you on the call list.

 Additionally, we will try to have a non-mounted event on most non-meeting months.

 Like everyone, I’m equally ready to let this weather cool off so we can hit the trails together. Hope to see you all at the September meeting where we’ll fill you in on the details.

Arizona Horse Council – Jean Anderson

The Arizona Horse Council's (AzHC) lobbyist, Robert Shuler, along with Bas Aja from the Cattlemen's, and Philip Bashaw from the Farm Bureau, are still hashing out the language, along with the Arizona Department of Revenue, for the HB 1183 that was signed by the governor, months ago. This bill is about the equine property assessment. Will keep you apprised as this goes forward.

 Also, AzHC is having a Arizona State Centennial Celebration up at Mormon Lake, along with the Arizona Trail Association, on Saturday, September 24th, 2011. Look up all information on our web site @www.arizonahorsecouncil.org for more information. Should be cool up there the end of September!! (:

AZHC is also having a Trail Horse Challenge Fundraiser, on October 15th, 2011, during the Queen Creek Horse Expo. Contact our AzHC Board Member, Linda Slay. Info is on our web site: www.arizonahorsecouncil.org . Limited to 60 people.

And....I am proud to announce that the 2013 National Trails Symposium will be held here in Arizona at the Fort McDowell Radisson Resort. We will be needing all sorts of volunteer help. The actual date has NOT yet been determined, but the month will be in April of 2013. What a wonderful opportunity for ARIZONA to shine. We have such great recreational opportunities, here in Arizona, and hope to draw between 600 and 1000 people to this symposium.

Happy Trails. Jean
