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

Jefferson Parade

2010-01-17T18:01:00.003-06:00

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!

SSA for 2010

2009-09-29T17:38:00.000-05:00

Dodge County Horseman’s Association

After much discussion, debate, and soul searching at our September meeting, the members present decided to suspend our Benefit Stallion Service Auction & Futurity at this time. We have had ten very good and successful years, a whole decade of horse folks helping people in need, but in light of the present economy and horse population situation, the program “will be put on the back burner”. When the horse industry and economy improve, we can review the situation again. DCHA will have a Weanling Futurity Class at our show in August 2010 for the babies from this year’s auction, and will still run our Open Stakes classes at the show. The Tack Swap will still be held on February 7th 2010 at the Juneau Community Center, with our “Famous Breakfast” and we will still have a Silent Auction Fundraiser and select a Beneficiary for the proceeds. We may even expand the Auction, with the help and generous donations from the Horse Community. Stallion owners may still promote their Stallion by donating a service, mare care, or some other arrangement to their liking. Trainers, or anyone in the “Horse Service” industry, you too could donate services, products, time, etc. to our Auction. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to donate, or come and be a bidder! We will try to promote donors as much as and anywhere we can. DCHA would like to thank all of the Stallion Service donors, some of whom have been with us for all ten years, without your generosity this great Benefit would never have been possible. Mare owners who bought services also get a big round of applause. The Wisconsin State Horse Council was also a major supporter of the Benefit SSA by granting us sponsorships to use for expenses and part of the paybacks. And who could forget Colonel Bob Wedel, who always kept his Auction calendar open for us every first Sunday in February. Bob always kept the Auction fun and interesting! And finally, to all the volunteers who “made it work”, especially Diane Sackett, Kevin & Jenny Juliuson (SSA) and Jan Pieper (Tack swap) who have been involved from the very beginning. Thanks to all! See you next February !
Sincerely,

Lori Helmer

SSA Committee Chairperson Needed!

2009-08-30T11:21:00.003-05:00

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.

The Benefit SSA Futurity & Show committee would like to say Many Thanks to all the stallion and mare owners who participate in our Futurity Program. For the last ten years we have made a difference in many peoples’ lives with your help. Thanks to the Wisconsin State Horse Council for their generous donation, and to Landmark Services Co-op who donated 2 bags of feed to the Futurity winners. Finally, a huge thank you to all our show volunteers who lent a hand to make the day a success.

Sincerely,
Lori Helmer
DCHA Benefit SSA/Open Show Committee member

Ranch Show – by Diane Sackett

2009-08-30T10:18:00.000-05:00

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

2009-08-30T10:05:00.007-05:00

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.

................................................................................................................................................................

P.S. A Thank You note sent to Gary Cross following the event-

Hi, Gary

Please express our deepest appreciation to your colleagues for the beautiful and incredible gift they have given to our campers. Your group’s thoughtfulness, generosity and compassion have given dozens of children and adults with disabilities an experience they will NEVER forget…truly one of the high points of their lifelong experiences!

Thank you for your leadership and compassion. We hope to see you at camp again next year

Elizabeth Affeld of Juneau, and her horse Lady, placed second the weekend of July 17-19 in their first Lakeshore Region Pony Club D Rally held at Wisconsin Equestrian Center at DePere. Rally is a three phase event, with the competitors riding dressage, cross country, and stadium jumping. Affeld was on a scramble team, which was made up of competitors from two other pony clubs and a stable manager. She trains at Kuenzi Equestrian Pony Club Riding Center located at Beaver Dam.

The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. (USPC) was founded in 1954 as a nonprofit national youth organization to teach riding and horsemanship through a formal educational program.
Many of the nation’s top equestrians, including most of our Olympic Equestrian team members,
have Pony Club roots. Members range in age from as young as 4 through age 21.

Activities are English-riding based, and members ride both horses and ponies, depending on the size of the rider and the discipline in which s/he is competing.
All Pony Club competition is team competition, much like the Olympic games, where members
learn the importance of cooperation and teamwork.
