We are off and running, we had a successful showing at the Hoosier Horse Fair.  Thank you to all who came and helped.  Those who brought and presented horses as well as those who worked the booth and helped with the setup and tear down.  Thanks to all who helped with the All Arabian show in Cloverdale.  If you weren't there, I am sorry you missed out on the fun.  Everyone had a good time.  Entries were up even though the number of horses was near the same as last year.  The Dates for 2010 are April 16, 17, 18.

    We now have a Youth Director, Meg Forster.  Meg has had Arabian horses most of her life and is currently a 4-H leader in Hendricks County.  Meg has lots of fun ideas and activities for the kids, and she did a great job at the All Arab making sure they were never bored.

    At the Region 13 Spring Round up meeting, it was decided that each club needed to come up with an Amateur award for the Region 13 show. Each club in the region is responsible for as many awards as the number of delegates that we send to convention. That means the IAHC is responsible for four awards. The Patron gifts were also discussed; they have come up with some really cool stuff for this year.  Your district directors are working on putting together a district meeting.  If you have any ideas or are able to help get something organized please contact them.  If you are not sure who your director is or which district you are in, check the club website.  On the officers page is a link to a map that will show you the boundaries for each district.

Hope everyone is off to a good start to a great year.
