That was a great way to finish this odd season. Traditionally, the September event for RTR involves décor, a bit of odd fun and some things that will make you laugh and learn something about your horse and yourself you did not know. This led to the Photo Booth, the Trail class décor and a fun Command class. I have 6 plastic bins of décor to re-sort and pack away again. Bri decided to take over the Photo Booth. For the Trail class she used the theme of “Hearts and Flowers”, and, of course, gnomes made an appearance. Remember to send your photo booth pics to Bri.

It was nice to see old (I should say long time) friends come back for the show. They did well, and I think the one “test out the horse” candidate passed with flying colours. Unfortunately, games numbers were zero again. No doubt our competitors did well at their alternate event.

The Year end points have been totalled and trophies decided. Nominations for the four trophies are now open: Chester Memorial (most congenial HORSE), Glidden Memorial (Most Improved RIDER), Evelyn Dales Memorial trophy (Top VOLUNTEER) and Pat Dales Memorial (Person displaying the best HORESEMANSHIP, SPORTSMANSHIP & FELLOWSHIP). Please send me your nominations and the reason for it, and they will be announced at our April Banquet.

Thank you to all the competitors, horses, parents, spectators, volunteers and others who made this season work. We will see you all at the AGM (probably in March) and, of course the Banquet in April. Bri will let you know all the details as they become available.

Have a great fall, Happy Hallowe’en and Merry Christmas.

Hoorah Lads!
