Back in September of 2006, the father of a horse crazy girl was looking for a way to be involved in his child's passion. Being new to the horse world, he heard about a local group that was in need of a newsletter editor. This father enjoyed creating and publishing documents on his computer, and thought this would be a great way to be involved. Plus he worked at home as a dairy farmer, so his schedule was his own to determine.
And so time went by - the first horse retired to be the leader of her herd at home & a younger one took her place as the competition horse. And now another is being trained to hopefully become the eventing horse.
Other changes have also happened. Economics have caused changes at home, leading this girl's father to exit dairy farming and become employed full time. The other daughter has taken up riding as well, with lessons 2 to 3 times a week for both. And their brother has found archery through 4-H and playing football in the fall.
As you have probably determined by now, I am describing myself. As much as I have enjoyed doing the DCHA newsletter for the past 3 1/2 years, I must also be honest with myself and with you the members, that I no longer have the time to give it the attention it deserves. Therefore I am looking for a DCHA member to take over the newsletter editor position ASAP. I will give the new editor the password and publishing information to the blog, as well as the DCHA owned laser printer I now have.
I thank you for all of the compliments during my time as the editor of YOUR newsletter. If you have any interest in becoming the next editor, please contact me at affeldfamily@gmail.com
