Jefferson Parade






December 5th, my daughter Abbey Rose and I joined the riders of Hags on Nags for the Jefferson Festival of Lights Parade. Crystal Kirchberg and her son Justin were there too. There were 13 other horses and ponies, some walking and some riding. All were decorated with Christmas lights and assorted holiday garb. We took our mini gelding, Angel. He wore tinsel on his head and angel wings on his back! We put lights on the shafts of his cart, too.

Everyone had a good time and the horses behaved. Angel was very popular with the crowd. He got his picture in the Jefferson Union paper as the "Pegasus Pony." Then, when the results of the judging were in, Hags on Nags was announced the winner of the Animal Division for the parade.

All in all, a great night!

2010 Silent Auction Donations




The 2010 DCHA Tack Swap is coming up next month, and in place of the SSA this year, we are having a silent auction benefit for this year's recipient, Judy Strehlow.
See the posted letter about making donations towards the auction. You can also print and use the letter to ask businesses for auction donations as well. The second page is comprised of two receipts, one for the person or business making the donation, and the other to be sent along with the donation.
