OBSTACLE CHALLENGE PRIZES !







We have some great sponsors for the obstacle challenge prizes. Russell's Feed Store (Middleburg) and Tractor Supply (O.P.) donated the buckets, and RCM Graphics / McCulley Farms donated to custom decals. Pete Morris Enterprises donated the customization on the hay bags.

Entries have been coming in steadily, and we look forward to a good turn out for the competition and clinic. Please contact Lisa if you want to join in the fun, either as a competitor or a volunteer.

Come out and support this fun event!

LARA Obstacle Challenge

The Challenge is on... this is a public event and a great fund raiser for our club. Mike Woodard will hold a "mini clinic" from 10AM until noon. He will demonstrate some ground exercises that can help you get your horses more comfortable with the obstacles. The morning session will also include several obstacles for you to practice on before the competition.

At noon lunch will be available, then we will get started with the challenge at 1PM. There are GREAT prizes for the adult and youth divisions. Make sure you get your kids to come out and participate! We encourage youth (and all) riders to wear helmets! Some horses react unpredictably to simple obstacles. Make sure you bring your Current Negative Coggins test with you. It is required in order to attend LARA events!

January Meeting

Don't forget we have a meeting this Thursday, January 21st at 7PM at the Lake Asbury Civic Center. David Nistler (Agriculture/ Small Farm/ Natural Resource Agent) will make a presentation regarding forage management. This is an interesting and important topic for many of us "backyard horse owners." Learn how to take care of your horse's needs and pasture needs. Refreshments will be served and guests are always welcome.

We have important business to discuss, including scheduling a yard sale, a trail ride, and the upcoming obstacle challenge. Please support YOUR club!

LARA Christmas Party will be Saturday December 5th at 5PM. Location will be Mike Buchanan's Ranch in Middleburg. Contact Lisa for directions.

It is supposed to be cold on Saturday night so be sure to bundle up and dress in layers. I will have 1 or 2 of the tall outdoor propane heaters. They put out a lot of heat so between the heaters, the brick grill and the bonfire there should be plenty of heat to go around.( and hot chocolate! )

Also-there is a bathroom at the gazebo in case you are wondering!
If you have any favorite Christmas music on CD- bring it with you. There is a 200 CD changer in the stereo system.
Remember- the entire family is invited. Please RSVP to Lisa so we will know how many people to expect and what you will be bringing for your covered dish.

Reminder..... November 26 at 7:00 PM - Member's meeting at Lake Asbury Community Center. Lots of things to discuss including the Christmas party and future trail rides.
