seconds. The 2nd Go was won by Calle Hinkle and Sue Gaiser with 9 cows
sorted in 59.54 seconds, and the 3rd Go was won by Tim Padgett & Brad
Flanders who sorted all 10 cows in 59.71 seconds. Ten teams advanced to
the finals with 1st place going to Calle Hinkle and Sue Gaiser and a cash

GREENSPOT TRAIL RIDE – We had 10 riders for the Greenspot Trail ride on July 26th, which was
led by KC Huffman. Lifetime member Barbara Peterson came up and rode “Georgi” KC’s Tennessee
Walker. It was so nice to have her riding back up on the mountain
again and what a beautiful day for it! We even got to do a little “cross
country”, which was a lot of fun and a good workout for our horses.
The next trail ride will be Aug 9th in the Baldwin Lake area. Riders
should meet at the corner of Kickapoo Dr. and Lakeview Rd at 11am.
This ride will be approximately 2 ½ hrs. Contact Kathy Armsby to
sign up for ride and/or more information

“free” class given, by judge Sharon, that was for anyone who wanted to participate.
It was the largest class and everyone had fun. A huge thank you to all of the

BARREL BASH CANCELED! – Unfortunately, the Barrel Bash, which was scheduled for Sept 13th, has
been canceled. We regret having to make this decision but we just do not have enough resources to
put on a quality event at this time and felt it best to cancel.

will be held Sat., Sept. 12th following the final horse show event of the season. Adult beverages will
start to flow around 5:30. Whether you are a current member or past member, come out for a great
time seeing old and new friends, listening to great music and enjoying some fabulous food. More
