October Newsletter 07B

October 2007
Volume 20, Issue 1
Get the candy and apples ready!
For those of you who did not have the luxury of checking the year’s outcome on the website, this (black and
white) issue of the newsletter will hopefully serve to get you up to date on everything that has happened in
the way of who won what and what direction BBRS is headed in 2008. For those (many more than I
thought) that take the website as gospel, this is the website version in living color with all of 2007’s accomplishments in one document for you to print out if you have a notion. Although we got off to a bit of a rough
start by not having a “real” annual meeting, the year went well and the much needed membership meeting
came to fruition during the break between the go rounds at the finals, September 16th. Good to have another pretty fine year under our belts. Whew!!
THANK YOU 2007 SPONSORS!

What great sponsors BBRS has - even though we
had a late start soliciting sponsors, nearly all of
BBRS’s 2006 sponsors, plus several new, came
through in time to provide awesome awards. Huge thank yous to Steve Miller and
Judy Wagner of Montana Silversmiths for sponsoring all of the division trophy buckles and to Billie Bray of Classic Equine for donating
all of the splint boots, bell boots and necessity totes. A very special
thank you to outgoing sponsor director Terry Miller for assisting Alyce Hager in securing the
corporate sponsorships and organizing the awards program. Believe me, it’s no small feat!
Perry’s Trailer Sales and Stockman Bank once again sponsored a very nice overall
saddle. The top ten overall winners each received Montana Silversmith “buckle” purses. Thank you to the following overall sponsors whose monetary commitments
were responsible for those awards: Cover All Barns of
MT, Christoferson Plumbing & Heating, Hill Quarter
Horses, Billings Livestock Commission, Cenex Harvest
States/Running Horse Feeds, Eide Bailly, GFK Trailer Sales, Phil’s Glass, Montana
Homestead Brokers LLC/Cody Cox, and Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, PC.
The following sponsors provided gift certificates and or merchandise as awards:

Rand’s Custom Hats, Al’s Bootery, Hoogie’s Truck Wash,
Inc., Nutrilix/Karen Yost, Westfeeds, Inc., Dr. Vicki Bokum,
Witt’s Custom Saddlery, Pelican Truck Plaza/Cedar & Sage
Gift Shop, and Lextron. Western Ranch Supply and Tractor
Supply Co. allowed BBRS special discounts on items that
were purchased for awards.
HOST ARENAS: Billings Saddle Club, Mark & Shelley Cain, Gary & Linda Crowder, Miller’s
Horse Palace, Janet Schuh, John & Jamie Shaw, Thunder Ridge. It was great to see numerous arena
owners at the awards ceremony to share the beef, beans and other great food!!

As you can see, numbers were down at
this year’s finals. Some thought it was
due to futurity schedules and other barrel races in the region. Others felt it
was due to the 40% rule requiring all
horses to have competed at 6 BBRS
barrel races to qualify for the finals.
In any event, we hope that the changes
voted in for the upcoming year will have
the positive impacts intended for all the
divisions in regard to nominations and
entries.
Be sure to read through the enclosed
Rules & Guidelines and Bylaws. The
changes have been bolded for your
convenience.
NOTES ON MEMBERSHIP AND INSURANCE: There were numerous infractions of
BBRS’s rule this year that “only BBRS members are allowed horseback at BBRS events.”
FYI BBRS is insured as a “riding club” and
not a rodeo/public event. Therefore, BBRS
does not hold public barrel races, it holds
club/member events. Our insurance company
charges higher premiums for “public events.”
Our host arenas assume that everyone horseback at our
barrel races are club members. We pay for liability insurance to protect BBRS against accidents and/or negligence
caused by BBRS members only. SOO - If your guests are
going to be horseback, they need to be members or you
must make sure the host arena is aware that those individuals are not BBRS members!!!
Another item of concern reported by fellow members:
members’ children were observed climbing on and pretending to run equipment at host arena facilities, (among
other things) apparently without permission or the parents’
knowledge. Please, please, please, keep track of your
kids, make them mind or sit in your truck or trailer. We
do not want the children injured and you don’t want it to
be your fault that BBRS is not invited back to any of our
host arenas!! Same goes for pets - tie them up to your
rig!!
