When I look through the photographs of our events I didn't quite realize just how much we did and what fun we had. Pony & Pizza Trail of the Painted Ponies Racing Paints Team Games with Trephina More Team Games 4th July Fun Trail Practice Trail Ride English Style Family Quiz Fundraising Obstacle Course in Elizabeth for Drifters Heart of Hope Volunteer Day at Spirit Keepers Equine Sanctuary We will be reaching out to all our youth members and encourage them to come along to a planning event that will be scheduled in the new year. We are looking to increase the number of participants at each of our events, so will be looking to our families with youth to help guide our activities. I am really looking forward to seeing every one of your youth at the KCRC events in 2016. The goal of KCRC Youth Group is not to duplicate 4H or Pony Club, but to help our young members to feel comfortable, make friends, have fun, and learn in a safe, inclusive non-competitive environment. It has been rewarding to see our youth encouraged and mentored by positive role models, a big thank you to Shiloh, Chris, Donna, Barb, Shelly, Deb, Jane, Cindy, Christine, Rosie, Clay, Trephina, Seth, Elaine, Tom & Pam with your help we were able to achieve many of these things. So what does 2016 hold for our youth group? It all depends on our membership interest; we will be looking to our families with youth to help develop this years line up. Do you have ideas, please bring them to our planning session. What you can be sure of is you have my ongoing support to continue scheduling and attending as many events as I can, here are a few ideas; put YOUR thinking cap on and help us develop this years line up of events!! Run a gymkhana Have a Long Ear information day Learn to drive Try out different disciplines Learn how to care better for our equine partners ( basic nutrition, hoof care, first aid) Camp out Rope a Steer I wish you all a very happy, healthy, and safe 2016 and I look forward to riding alongside you throughout 2016. Lisa Youth Group Lead Royalty Update Hello Kit Carson Riding Club! This is my last Snubbin Post update as your 2015 Queen. I'm sorry to say that. I've really enjoyed being Queen. It's opened up a lot of doors for me and it was a great experience. I don't know what I'm going to miss the most. I absolutely loved riding in parades, meeting new people, going to events I normally wouldn't go to. I adored little kids coming up to me and asking me questions (my favorite being, "Can I pet the royal pony?"). Being Queen was amazing. I feel like it helped me in a lot of ways; working on my public speaking, getting more comfortable with meeting new people, and Lord knows I learned how to do my make up and hair-although that doesn't mean I ever learned to like it. Being Queen and representing this incredible KCRC family meant a lot to me, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to do it. I've been through a lot this year, with Extreme Cowboy Racing, the Extreme Mustang Makeover, being involved in the KCRC Youth Group, and all my Royalty adventures. I'd like to thank you all for being there for me, and being so incredibly supportive. I'll forever be thankful for you. Our new Royalty is the amazing Madison Zachman (2016 KCRC Queen) and her adorable sister Makenzie Zachman (2016 KCRC Princess). I've said it before and I'll say it again; these girls are incredible. Madison's tryout was simply awesome, her public speech left me speechless. Makenzie's tryout was amazing as well, I was stunned by her, especially riding a horse she'd never ridden before, and riding it well. Their entire family is a joy to be around, and I'm always impressed with them every time I see them. I'm sad to say goodbye to the crown, but I'm confident that it's in perfectly capable hands. I'm excited to move to the next chapter of my life, and excited to help the new Royalty in their adventures next year. I hope you all have a merry Christmas, and a good New Year. Thank you for being such a wonderful group of people, I love you all. Thank you. Sincerely, Shiloh Sarah 2015 Kit Carson Riding Club Queen PARADES And so the year ends for Parades in 2015. What a great finish with the Festival of Lights Parade. For me it was more like a gathering of friends I've come to treasure, walking, riding and enjoying company once again. Sort of bittersweet. For the year of 2015: Thank you to all who braved participating in your first parades. Thank you to all who helped with the float. Thank you to all who pulled wagons, trailers, poop carts, banners, flags and proud hearts. Thank you to all who rode horses, ponies, wagons. Thank you to all who walked carrying banners. I am so proud of you. So proud of Kit Carson and you who represented us in the parades.
