Fun In The Sun

Our August Foundation Quarter Horse Registry Show was in step with all the shows this summer. A solid turn out and great weather made for another great gathering of "cowhands" and their horses. That's what's great about this club, even with all the things that can divide our attention, we still have had solid turn outs and great showings. We introduced a class that may be on our show bill next year - Limited Handy Ranch. Another class to introduce new riders and young horses to the very popular Handy Ranch class. Many new folks continue to give the Limited Cowhorse class a try and our in-hand trail class for the young horses has been a big hit all season. We had another great potluck dinner and the Michigan weather saw things our way. Lots of photos were shot and you can see them and all the others from our shows this summer at our account on Flickr.com.

We have such a wonderful group of people showing with Michigan FQHR. We're proud of our dedicated "long timers" but we have a lot of "newcomers" that seem to be having a ball this year too. They're spicing things up, keep the old hands on their toes and making the weekends even more enjoyable than before. We're so glad there are so many like minded folks around our area that are thrilled to come out and show with us on these absolutely fantastic foundation bred quarter horses. Michigan FQHR invites you to come out and give us a try. The next show is September 18 & 19. Make sure to check out the new show classes too. There's something for everyone this year. See you soon and we'll keep the coffee on.
