SSA Committee Chairperson Needed!
In order for DCHA to continue to have successful Stallion Service Auctions, we are in need of a current DCHA member to step up and chair the SSA committee.
This person's responsibilities would include selling ads for the catalog, compliling stallion information, and getting catalog info to the newsletter editor for printing and posting online.
There will be additional DCHA members to help out with this project, so don't worry that you would be doing everything yourself, but we do need someone to head this project.
Any current DCHA member that is interested, please contact Kevin Juliuson at (920)928-3714 or email kjclosequartrs@powerweb.net.

Ranch Show – by Diane Sackett
The successful July show was a very nice show despite the rain downpour at 5am. That might have kept some people from coming as the crowd was less than I expected after the numerous calls and emails I fielded prior to the show. We had competitors drive up from Missouri to come and compete for national points!
I want to thank everyone that helped with this show. Crystal Creek Riders showed up in force to work the show, DCHA provided help also. The rules and paperwork for American Ranch Horse Association is a lot to abide by but there was very little grumbling from anyone, and I am still receiving compliments from spectators that they really enjoyed our show and hope it will be held again next year.

Camp Pow Wow - by Diane Sackett
Crystal Creek Riders visited Camp Pow Wow in July. The horses visited too! Camp Pow Wow is a camp for disabled or handicapped youth. Many of the youth never have a chance to be near a horse much less ride one!
The excitement builds all week as the counselors prep them for the horses to visit. Over 30 brave riders usually needed some help to mount up, some needed a counselor to ride with them to keep them in the saddle. There is such excitement as they actually ride a horse! The horses bring out the best of the youth. One girl that never talks or socializes ‘talked’ her whole ride, others found their courage to pet a horse. The highlight of the evening for me was after the group photo one young boy came over to my horse and stood next to him, gently stroking his muzzle, and then laid his cheek alongside of the horse nose and said “thank you” in a quiet voice. Priceless.
We had 6 horses for the honorable duty of carrying the riders on a short trail thru the woods and camp. Stretch, Mister,(courtesy of Diane Sackett) Sonny, Bingo, (courtesy of Barb and Gary Cross) Gold, (courtesy of Karen Meekma and handled by Lori Helmer) and Clint (courtesy of Elaine Gauthier) were very loved and praised by all the riders, including the counselors! Thanks also to the extra handlers for assisting riders to mount up and stay in the saddle - Kathy Gunderson, Tina Conley, Darlene Woulle, Karen Reider, Jan Pieper.
It was for sure an evening of rewards for everyone involved.
