What a great day for a trail ride!  Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.  The long waits before setting off were still a problem for some people.  With registration paperwork coming in until the last minute, it is hard to organize the groups in advance.  Hence, it’s mostly luck as to start times.  Any ideas on how to improve this are welcome.

MANY THANKS must be offered here to:

OUR JUDGES – Linda Liddle, Greg Dales, Shelly Patterson, Jen Barrick, Babs Ellis, Joanne Milton, Stan Whiston, Irene Mahy and Anne Dales

LAZY D ACRES – for hosting and their riders for setup and marking the trail

REGISTRATION – Ty Whiston for doing the paperwork (no mean task), Anne Dales for score tabulations and group send-offs, and Elaine Wiesner for accounting assistance

BBQ – Stan Whiston and his helpers Barb Kelly, Riley, Morgan and Shelly Patterson and Melissa Winter

MADELINE MANES – for the delicious home-made beans and for shuckin’ corn

KIM WINTER – for her shopping expedition and judge’s snacks, etc.

BOB AND BRENDA GIRDWOOD – for arranging the buns donated by AZORES BAKERY in Cambridge and for shuckin’ more corn

IF I have omitted anyone, please forgive me as I was so busy myself, I couldn’t keep track.  If you helped in any way, consider yourself muchly appreciated.    THANK YOU ONE AND ALL for coming out and making our day a great success.

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR FOR OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON’S TRAIL HORSE TRIALS!
