PG.29 As the 2018/2019 show season draws to a close CCQHA would like to take a moment to thank our members, competitors and sponsors all of whom have contributed to ensuring that the season was a successful one. D uring the 2018/19 season the club had a Crank up day in August, ran 4 shows and a great clinic with Cody Parrish. As we look forward to the 2019/20 season we have been busy planning to ensure that this season is great one for our members. We have 6 events planned for this season: 18th August Ride Day 1st September 2019 A Show 13th October 2019 A Show 8th November 2019 Lauren Louw Private lessons 9th November 2019 Lauren Louw Clinic 10th November 2019 A Show 8th December 2019 A Show 2nd February 2020 A Show We are kick starting this season with a ride day on August 18th an opportunity for our members to get together in a relaxed environment, ride their horses, and enjoy Halter, Lunging and Showmanship demonstrations in the morning. After lunch we will be running a mock show, Joanne Gregory has kindly donated her time to help us with the mock show which gives our competitors the ability to gain some valuable feedback ahead of the season. At each of our shows we are always grateful to have Judy Hicks in attendance, Judy not only brings along her Jewellery stall which gives our competitors an opportunity to purchase some show ring bling, but whilst there Judy takes photos of our shows, beautifully capturing moments that become treasured memories.
