Hello Pinto Members and Horse Lovers,
First I want to Thank the past years board members for all the
work they put in to help this club with its ventures. Without your
help we wouldn’t be here.
We had our Pinto Banquet on December 6th and it was a blast.
Everyone enjoyed themselves with fine food, prizes, and awards.
I want to say a big Thank You to the people that brought items
for our silent auctions and live auction. The Jackpot live auction
brought in over $500 to start off our jackpot classes in 2015!
Soon our new year will be upon us as we plan our shows for next
year. Our show date has changed to August 29th & 30th 2015 and
will be at the Cannon Falls Arena, MN. With a potluck supper. We
will also have a Sampler Show May 17th in Buffalo at Out West
Arena which will be a one day show, one judge pinto classes
combined with WSCA classes. These points will count for
National but not for year-end.
This will be a chance for our new exhibitors to try out to see what
Pinto is all about. Our club is always about striving to make our
shows a fun loving friendly atmosphere for everyone. Come and
join us for the year 2015.
Min-I-Kota Pinto President
Dianne Sobania
Everyone have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The Min-I-Kota Pinto Royalty is sad to say “good-bye”
to Lauren Demchuk & Oceanna Valenta (they did a
great job!) but we are so very happy to welcome our
newest members; Lucy Lewis, Kayli & Alison Hulbert
and George Pettitt!
Thank you to everyone who donated items for the
Royalty auction. Not only do the Royalty represent our
club at shows and expo’s, they sponsor fun youth
activities. We believe that the youth are the future of
our club and all equine communities and businesses.
Thank you for supporting them!
Thank you Char Schabinger for donating the jars for the
kids craft at the banquet. They had fun decorating and
transforming them into candles for the holidays!
It’s been really great working with the Royalty (what a
great bunch of young ladies!) but I will be passing the
torch to Tracy Miller as our new Youth/Royalty advisor
for 2015! THANK YOU TRACY!

Eleanor Pettitt
My Name is Eleanor Pettitt and I
am 9 years old. I am originally from
England and moved to Minnesota
with my family when I was 5 years
old. I have been riding since then
and love taking part in western
riding at the shows with the other
royalty and my brother, George. I
also enjoy ice skating, archery,
softball and reading to my Grandma
on Skype. I am just learning
cantering and love it! I look forward
to seeing you at the shows!
My name is Brooke Schwab and I
love being a Princess with Min-IKota Pinto! Going to the shows
with my family and Grandma is a
lot of fun. I show in the Walk/
Trot classes and did really well in
2014.
