Be of service. Whether you make yourself
available to a friend or co-worker, or you
make time every month to do volunteer work,
there is nothing that harvests more of a
feeling of empowerment than being
of service to someone in need.
~ Gillian Anderson, Actress
The horse and trail associations on the following pages of this special section of Saddle Up! Magazine are here
today because of a strong sense of volunteerism. If you find that you have extra time weekly, or even monthly, the
organizations that have advertised in our 2016 Membership Drive could use your help.
Even if you do not own a horse, but would like to learn more about them, volunteering is a great way to find out
more about our four legged equine friends. Working behind the scenes at a horse show is a wonderful way to find out
if showing horses is for you. Helping clean-up trails, campgrounds and staging areas are also a great way to
volunteer and help out a worthy organization.
Find an organization in either Saddle Up! Magazine or online near you, and give them a call or send them an
email. They will be happy to tell you when the next volunteer opportunity is available. You can also attend a board
meeting or two, there is always someone available to answer questions and provide additional information.
Thank you to our friends that have advertised in our 2016 Membership Drive section of Saddle Up! Magazine.
Your support is appreciated. We hope that the New Year is a great success for your association!
Best Wishes, Cindy Couturier, owner/editor and Mackenzie Gray, assistant editor

The Arabian Horse Association of Michigan
The Arabian Horse Association of Michigan (AHAM), is one of four clubs in Michigan dedicated to the promotion and well-being of the Arabian horse.
AHAM works in conjunction with the other clubs to help with this promotion. AHAM is affiliated with Region 13, which encompasses Michigan and
Indiana. They are actively involved in promoting the regional show and always strive to bring new people to the Region and their regional show.
These “Amateur Extravaganza” classes are offered in all three
performance divisions, Saddle Seat, Hunt Seat, and Western, and are
open to purebred and Half-Arabians. These are jackpot classes, and the
association adds a considerable amount of prize money to the pot.
AHAM was established more than 60 years ago. This club was started to
benefit all of the Arabian horse enthusiasts in the Michigan area.
AHAM prides themselves on being in-tune with the wants and needs of
their members. They are extremely exhibitor friendly and are always
open to new ideas that will add benefit to their membership. AHAM keeps
their members up-to-date on current happenings with the monthly enewsletter, and with daily and weekly updates on their website,
www.miarabhorse.com, their Facebook page (Arabian Horse
Association of Michigan), or on their twitter account @AHAMMichigan.
The AHAM club is open for anyone to join, and they do have members
from all over the country that affiliate themselves with AHAM. To join
AHAM, please log onto their website at www.miarabhorse.com and click
on the membership info icon. This will guide you to the appropriate forms
to complte. Or, you may email the Membership coordinator at
judyzumbach@gmail.com.
AHAM holds two shows annually to help with the promotion and to give
back to their membership. The first show is usually the first weekend in
May and is called the Michigan All Arabian Horse Show. This horse show
has been in existence for 56 years and has always proven to be a
competitive, exhibitor friendly horse show. In recent years, the Michigan
All Arabian Horse Show has added exciting classes aimed at
encouraging this healthy competition and giving back to the amateurs in
Region 13.
If you are interested in being more involved with AHAM, please go to their
website at www.miarabhorse.com and email any of the board members
listed. AHAM would be happy to give you more information on the next
monthly board meeting or provide you with information on how to
volunteer at the next horse show or clinic.

Purpose Statement:
The Buchanan Westerners Riding Club Incorporated is a non-profit organization run solely by its membership. Our non-profit
organization is dedicated to the American Family through their love of horses. Our goal is to be able to continue supporting programs
involving Horseback Riding for Handicapped Children, High School Equestrians, and 4-H Youth Activities.
Buchanan Westerners was founded in 1946 and boasts a membership of about 125 members. Our membership runs on a calendar
year. Buchanan Westerners does not focus on any particular breed, although we are approved through PAC. We hold two shows each
month from May through September in addition to various clinics and fun show events. Our annual banquet is held in the late fall and
offers several High Point awards, including age divisions as well as pleasure and gaming. All members are automatically eligible for
high point awards. We offer one primary fund-raiser per year; a Tack Swap held in the spring and a variety of smaller fund-raisers
throughout the year.
We have a website; www.buchananwesterners.com where many of your questions may be answered. If you have questions and wish
to speak to someone, the board of directors are listed on the website as well. Please call one of the officers of the board or the horse
show manager for more detailed questions.
Monthly meetings for Buchanan Westerners are the second Thursday of each month at 7:00pm at the Buchanan Westerners
clubhouse in Buchanan, MI.
We offer a couple of Walk/Trot classes for adults and children, which are restricted to Walk/Trot only. Exhibitors in Walk/Trot are not
eligible for other Walk/Trot/Canter classes. So bring your babies to the walk/trot classes, and have a great experience and a lot of fun!

Kensington Trail Riders Association (KTRA) is a group of like minded individuals that span both genders and all age
groups. Our horses are every breed and color imaginable. The common threads that connect us are our love of riding and
a desire to keep Kensington Metro Park as a destination for trail riders. With more than 25 miles of equine riding,
Kensington provides wide, sandy trails, diversity of terrain, and ease of access. KTRA members have work bee activities so
everyone can enjoy the trails year-round for club activities and camping events. One of the highlights this past year was
the Billy Gunn Trail Challenge where we encouraged members and non-members alike to come and ride a mile, ride a
trail, or ride all the trails in the park on a single day. We generally host two fun-filled camping weekends each year - one in
spring, one in fall. Both camping weekends have a camp breakfast on Saturday morning and a camp potluck with a band
on Saturday night. It is a wonderful, fun-filled event.

ANN LOUISE PEABODY-BUDD - As a young
girl growing up on an apple orchard in Fenton,
MI, I was the only one in my family of 6 who
really wanted a horse. In 1970 I met my
husband, Dr. Jim Budd in London, England, I
was his tour guide. We were married in 1971
and a dear friend brought us a $17.50 pony
and tied him to a Willow tree in our backyard.
And, that was the beginning of our KaTalPa Arabians involvement
in the Michigan horse industry. Our three older sons and Jim all
showed Arabians and Half-Arabians in all divisions in local,
regional and national events. Our daughter Marta and son Dusty
started showing in lead line and continued showing in English,
western, equitation, costume and park and Jim got involved with
Arabian race horses. As an older student at MSU in Ag Comm©2016 C & C PUBLISHING, INC. • JANUARY 2016
unications, I was able to complete 4 internships at the Arabian
National Championships as Assistant Commercial manager
which gave me some wonderful background experience when the
expanded MHC Expo was being discussed. Bev Grunheid and I
were given the assignment of co-chairing the MHC International
Stallion Exhibition and Trade Show that was held in the Lansing
Civic Arena. I have had the wonderful honor of representing the
Michigan Horse Council as their Horse Expo Chair and Co-Chair

Our Purpose
The purpose of this organization is to promote continuous growth in programs fostering horsemanship education,
sponsor activities to encourage interscholastic participation and to have cooperative adult-supervised leadership
(coaching) for all students in grades 6 through 12 who are desirous to participate regardless of race, creed or national
origin and meet the Association rules and regulations (By-Laws).
Our Goals
Throughout Association leadership and coaching, it is our goal that the student members derive whatever enjoyment
and benefits possible as a result of participating as riders in horsemanship education programs and interscholastic
competition. The MIHA and Coaches will involve each equestrian student (male and female) to the extent possible in team competition. The
MIHA and Coaches will provide situations where each equestrian team member can be exposed to cooperative working experience that leads
to common group goals. The MIHA and Coaches will provide each equestrian team member with the opportunities to experience good
leadership, fair play, horsemanship, sense of honesty, character, pride and good
sportsmanship at all times. The MIHA and Coaches will always provide, conduct and host equestrian interscholastic programs with proper
instructions, coaching methods, conditioning rules, health, safety and welfare of each participant.

UNDER THE MICHIGAN EQUINE LIABILITY ACT, AN EQUINE PROFESSIONAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR AN INJURY TO OR THE DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT IN AN EQUINE ACTIVITY RESULTING
FROM THE INHERENT RISK OF THE EQUINE ACTIVITY.
I apply to participate in or observe equine events provided and sponsored by Ranch Horse Association of Michigan (RHAM). By signing this RELEASE OF LIABILITY I understand that my
involvement in a Ranch Horse Event will expose me to above normal risks due to the unpredictable behavior of horses and their reactions to surroundings of unfamiliar objects, sounds and cattle.
Examples of these risks include: collisions, kicking, biting, rearing, bucking, striking, rolling, bolting and trampling. I understand that horses have a tendency to behave in ways that may result in
injury, harm or death to a person on or around it. I agree that I assume and acknowledge these and other dangers that are inherent in horse related activities. I agree that I am responsible for my
own safety. I agree that I have my own medical coverage. I agree that the RHAM, their members, employees, and agents will not be liable if I suffer personal injury or death. I agree not to bring any
claims, demands or lawsuits against RHAM, their members, employees or agents. I agree that if RHAM, their members, agents or employees are sued by anyone else because of claimed
conduct by myself, I will indemnify and hold them harmless from all damages and costs, including reasonable actual attorney fees. I agree that by signing this release it becomes binding on me,
my heirs and assigns, and thus I am allowed to participate in RHAM activities or ride on property rented or in use for events. I agree that, THIS RELEASE CONSTITUTES A WAVIER OF LIABILITY
BEYOND THE PROVISIONS OF THE MICHIGAN EQUINE ACTIVITY LIABILITY ACT 1994 P.A. 351. I agree that Michigan law governs the enforceability of this release. I acknowledge that I have read
this waiver and liability release and I fully understand it, I am eighteen years of age or older, and that I am signing this release on my own behalf (or on the behalf of my minor children), our heirs,
representatives and assigns. I understand that I am responsible for my own financial loss in relation to any theft or damage to my tack, equipment, vehicles, trailers, and horses while on the
premises where an Equine event is held.
Upon purchase of a RHAM Membership, member agrees to abide by the Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of ARHA and RHAM. A RHAM membership is not required to participate in a RHAM
Event as long as the participant provides proof of a current ARHA membership, but a RHAM membership must be purchased to be eligible for year-end points to accumulate and showing 3 of 4 or
4 of 5 RHAM circuit shows per season to be eligible for a year end award.
I (We) agree to abide by the rules of the American Ranch Horse Assoc. and Ranch Horse Assoc. of Michigan and will work to promote the association.

YSTRA MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the Yankee Springs Trail Riders Association is to preserve, protect, improve and expand existing horse campgrounds
and the horse trail network in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, and the surrounding areas, for use by horsemen, their families and
the general public for horse riding and camping.
To develop and maintain good communications and working relationships with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Parks
and Recreation Division, and/or its successors. To assist them in their efforts to maintain adequate horse campgrounds and riding trails
and to help generate revenue that will enable horse campgrounds to become self-supporting.
To promote horse riding and camping by providing information to the general public on the location of horse campground facilities,
horse trails and the recreational benefits available.
Our Association was founded in 1989 by a group of riders that had been using the trails for quite some time. They decided that
much more could be accomplished by organizing, and we have grown to over a hundred family memberships since then. We are a
calendar year organization, offering family membership of $20.00 that runs from January 1st to December the 31st. We also offer a
lifetime membership as well.
As a trail riding group we try to have at least 3 events per year, one being a fundraiser for another nonprofit organization, such as
Cancer Families United. We also like to have a kid's FREE event once a year and then a club fund raiser for improvement's to camp and
trails. Our events are held at our “ADOPT-A-PARK” Horseman’s Campground on Duffy Road in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area.
Our monthly meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, usually with a potluck first and the meeting to follow. Except
our Annual banquet meeting which is subject to new time and location as the board sees to change each year. At the annual meeting
we usually have some youth awards that we like to present to our outstanding youth participation. Our newsletters are biannual.
YSTRA will continue to improve and create more equestrian trails for our trail system with the help of our public land managers. We
will continue to work to improve the campground and possibly bring electricity to our horse camp one day.
Our website is www.ystra.org and we also monitor a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ystra.org. The current Officers of the
club are: Tom Chaffee, V.P., Kathy Taylor, secretary, Jeanne Burger, treasurer, Ron Walker, president. Mailings should be to YSTRA,
P.O. Box 352, Delton, Michigan, 49046. Any Questions should be directed to one of the officers or Ron Walker, 5780 Gun Lake Road,
