March Newsletter from Big Sky Region March 1: BSR Spring Meeting, Fairmont Hot Springs, along with the most fantastic “C” Retreat. A special thank you to all who attended BSR meeting, you proved to be brave souls as weather was pretty bad. The weather caused Storm Castle to turn back, we missed having them. March 1 & 2: The “C” Retreat was the greatest! I think almost every C was there and they had the most wonderful time. Kara Hagerman, the visiting instructor did a terrific job as always. Kids love her and learned so-o much. A MILLION THANK YOU’S TO NANCY CARMAN ARE HOSTING THIS RETREAT. WE REALLY APPRECIATED YOUR ORGANIZATION!!! WOW!!! WHAT MEMORIES THEY HAVE MADE!! Our Round Tables turned into good discussions; we loved sharing information and ideas. Your input was very helpful; we have such hard working and willing people in our group. What a great team we have! Chan Carman gave her report on the National Youth Congress and newly formed NYC board. She has been appointed to this board and will work closely with the Board of Governors. This will be a great opportunity and they are lucky to have her! Patty, Jaime Clark and Chan, will be heading up our Travel Teams. These teams will go to your club throughout the summer with older members teaching unmounted. Adult instructors will also travel to teach riding sessions. You can request having a team teaching unmounted and/or mounted, your club will provide gas, and food and over night stay, if needed. The visiting riding instructor will charge 15.00 per student. This is a great opportunity for clubs to interact, make sure we are all on the right track and will help older pcers with their teaching requirements. Everyone WINS!! JULY 11: HB rating in Billings. Nancy Carman has worked with National, they will send Examiners. Great job! Upper rating candidates will be required to attend 2 preps and 1 rally according to National and BSR. The preps scheduled will be: JUNE 12-14: D Camp, East, Beartooth and Sunlight hosting. JUNE 21-24, DANIEL STEWART CLINIC, SEMINAR: I should have explained more at the meeting so here goes!! The BSR will host a clinic with Daniel Stewart, opened to public on JUNE 21, we will also host a Seminar with Daniel opened to public on Sat. night. Both will be fund raisers to help defray costs for Daniel at camp. JUNE 22-27, HERRON PARK CAMP: Sally Rohletter is in the process of getting really great instructors for camp, it is going to be a spectacular time. Many thanks to Sally for organizing camp, she and her pony club do a great job. This is a major undertaking and takes a lot of dedication and hard work. AUGUST 14, 15: BSR’S EVENT RALLY, scheduled at Rebecca Farm. How many pony clubbers would get a chance to ride there!! Thank you Sarah Kelly for being so generous, we really appreciate this opportunity. Our committee will be Patty Clark, Sarah Kelly, Diane Maxted, and Char Harmon. We are considering this (may be) a Qualifying Rally as Championships, West will be to CO in 09. We handed out our RAFFAL TICKETS; each club will have a numbered amount. What an easy sell they will be, the winner will have their horse or pet hand painted by Missoula artist, Susan Carlson. We all want one! Thanks to Susan for doing this, we can’t wait to see the results. Suggestion: give tickets to each child in an envelope to put stubs into and return to DC. Dc will return to Patty Clark by June 18 for drawing at camp!! Thank you again for all who attended those who tried and those who had mares due!
