Heidi Smith and B and B's Bulldozer - Award Winners!

Congratulations to CHSA member Heidi Smith and her horse B and B's Bulldozer.

'Dozer' just won Pinto Horse Association Horse of the Year for Breeding Stock Hunter Under Saddle for 2007.

Of the top ten horses in the nation for his division, he was number ONE! As you all know 'Dozer' had a very successful year with CHSA, being a triple champion - winning  the Color Breed Pleasure,  Hunter Pleasure and Adult English Pleasure Year-End Awards. The only thing they missed was participating in CHSA Finals.  They qualified for Finals in both the Adult English Pleasure and Hunter Pleasure divisions, but were unable to attend due to 'Dozer's' sudden onset of allergies.

CHSA Award Letters

CHSA AWARD LETTERS

Congratulations to all of our 2007 CHSA Award winners. The CHSA award letters go into the mail tomorrow! Remember – these letters go to all the winners of the Equitation awards and the letters for horses and ponies winning awards go to the person that registered that horse or pony.

If you have not already done so, owners need to email jaycyn195@cox.net, if you wish the rider’s name to appear in the Awards Program instead of the owner’s name.

Remember, according to the CHSA rules, in order to be eligible for Awards, horses or riders must have earned a minimum of 15 points. The two highest exhibitors in any division not earning 15 points will be awarded Honorable Mentions Champion and Reserve Champion Ribbons, only.

Don’t forget to send in your banquet reservations by February 19^th in order to avoid a post entry fee.

See you at the party!

CHSA Awards Banquet - We need your stuff!

It's that time of year again .  .  .  . The CHSA auction acquisition drive to benefit our annual scholarships. The Auction will take place during the CHSA Awards Banquet Saturday, March 1, 2008.

We are looking for new, useable auction items.  There will be two categories . . . the Children's Raffle Tables  (items for the under 16 year olds) and the general Silent Auction Tables.  Items do not have to be horse related. 

Last year was extremely helpful that items were dropped off before the night of the banquet.  Drop off points during January & February: 
The Pines Farm Horse Shows (Glastonbury)
  Bouncing Pony Farm (Southbury)
or email Deb Krawitz to make pick up arrangements.

Please label every item with name of donor, value of each item & the item description. 
Unfortunately every year items show up and we don't know who donated them.  If you would like to get your name in the program please get the information to Deb ASAP -  203-927-6189
