Reminder that we will have an MSN meeting Nov 29th at 8 pm MB time.
Jean Bogner has renewed her membership. Thanks Jean!
Jean helped me this weekend with my first ride in the corral of my young filly - Fancy. It's so nice to have a good horsewoman on the end of the lead rope while you do a first ride. By the second ride the next day we were "leader" free and that went very well too. I was very proud of her, she is learning very quickly.
Hope all your rides are great & look forward to talking to you soon.

Liz at the Travellers Day Parade in Brandon
Liz took part this spring in the Travellers Day Parade in Brandonon June 6th. It was the first parade with her Fox Trotter mare Foxie. She handled it all very well Liz said and she was very proud of her. There were marching bands, flags galore & crowds in places. Foxie took it all in stride...a very smooth stride! Good for you Liz...we are proud of YOU!

Club news & AGM meeting in NOV
Snow is falling...and thankfully melting so far! Makes you realize your riding season might be grinding to a halt, unless you are hearty & winterized to ride!
I would like to set an MSN open AGM meeting for our club for Sunday, Nov, 29,2009. If you can, please set that date to join us at 8 pm MB time (will be SK time by then too) to discuss the year ahead & throw around some ideas. I will send a reminder in November.
We have a new member - Marilyn Pranys from Altona, MB. She is a new MFT owner and looking forward to hanging out with us next year! Liz Cain has renewed her membership today as well. Memberships are not offically due until our AGM meeting time, but it might be a good time to write that $10.00 cheque to PFTC, c/o Box 248, Carberry, MB, R0K 0H0, just to get it done and over with.
An idea that came forward is to have Dianne Little come to Seasons Ranch sometime in the summer of 2010 to do a clinic. If you are interested let us know. She is coming again to Kurt's place May long weekend of next year, so maybe some of you are planning to attend that clinic if it would be closer to you, which would make sense. I know some of our members in SK would find a location closer for a clinic a little better in these tougher economic times, so its an option we could look at.
I know with having the Welz Hoof health clinic the week before in Winnipeg, I will be hard pressed to spend 2 weekends going to Winnipeg, now that I am working full time. I would rather attend a clinic during the summer, when I have time off.
If a gaited clinic isn't what you are interested in, then let me know what you ARE interested in. A fun show? Trail ride weekend? Fund raising ride for what....breast cancer or some equally important cause? It would be fun to have a trail ride all dressed in pink huh! Woudn't we look "Foxy" on our foxtrotters in pink boas! LOL. What a way to promote & do something for our communities & a good cause. Could we pick a route..."sometown" to sometown" say a 10 mile ride to do as a group & ride into town & have a pink lemonade waiting for us...or some pink cooler!! Just one idea. Ok, Kurt...you WOULD have to wear a pink boa too, but could wear a mask so folks won't know who you are...call yourself the pink lone ranger or something.
Check the side panel for the NEW WWWW weekend fundraiser pics from our Sept 4/5 weekend. What a blast.
Seasons will be removing our Blue rental trailer next summer sometime, so the WWWW ride will have to be more "self contained" and change to a different date, as I would be starting to teach school again right after the weekend, as my job is Educational Assistant for Language now for the Carberry Collegiate.
I have a tentative buyer for my filly Fancy lined up to try her out in spring, thanks for the interest from some folks. If it works out she will be an endurance horse and will be pretty flashy out there on the trails. In the meantime I ride my nice & pokey Zoie, who is a blast to ride and just the right size for me...small:)
Send some pics folks of your riding adventures to post here & any news!
Happy Horsing around 'til next time! Barb
