Welcome to our new President for the 2010... Howard Maerz 

Annual elections went off with excitement and a very close race.  Check out your new executive below:

 Broodmares for Sale – Rick Hemmett

Rick has a couple of real nice broodmares for sale or lease. One is a black Grand Champion, Circuit Champion Halter Mare and the other, a chestnut with a blanket, is a granddaughter of Hall of Famer, Dari Maid and out of a National Champion Halter Mare.

Since his stud died last summer, he won't breeding horses in the near future and would hate to see these mares not contributing to the improvement of the breed. 

Escaping the Cold Down Under – Doreen Hooker 

Doreen’s family escaped the cold by going on a holiday to Australia in late November.  They went to a small horse show while there and saw some Appaloosas competing.  Good to know our spotted friends are making a point down under.
