AUGUST 2008
|
We are having a GREAT 2008 Season - Thanks to all of you!!!!!! So far this year, the first three shows of 2008, the May, June and July shows have been a huge success for CSHA. We want to thank all of our participants and helpers for making this show series so special and fun. We truly treasure all of you and wanted you to know! We aren't sure if all of you know that the CSHA shows are organized and put together by the board of volunteers. They put this show together and devote their time because they love horses and seeing riders and horses work together and have fun. We thought you might like to "meet" the members of our board so we have provided pictures and quick bios of them. We hope you enjoy this and remember to say a quick thanks at the shows for all the hard work they put in.
Shows Remaining: September 21st DOUBLE JUDGED!!!!!!!!!

Meet the CSHA Board Members:
Anne Chism
President/Show Manager
Anne Chism and her husband, Jack, live in Arvada on a small horse property with her AQHA mare, Eagle Joe Puzzle, German Shepherd, Meagan and three cats. Anne started riding at age 23 and quickly became interested in dressage. She rode and showed in that discipline before changing to Western and all-around showing in 1994. She has shown both open and AQHA shows since then and has been blessed to have some very good horses and a great, supportive husband. Anne has been president of CSHA since 2003.
Anne Raskey
Vice President/Awards
Anne Raskey is a medical technologist and a native of Michigan, but she has been in Colorado for 30 years which surely qualifies her for semi-native status! She showed for many years on the hunter/jumper circuit before becoming involved in Quarter Horses with "Submariner", now retired. she became involved in CSHA after showing with them for several years and making many enduring friendships. She currently shows Legends Forever, a.k.a. Hotdog, and in a return to her roots, has taught him to jump and is having great success in beginning hunter shows. 
Patricia Rothdiener Secretary (Corresponding) Patricia enjoys -- taking care and working with her horse Te and her rabbits -- family get togethers -- and trying to keep up with old friendships. Patricia acquired her "last" horse, a 13-year old appaloosa mare, Te -- when Te was a yearling. Te has become a dependable companion and show horse. They love the shows and the people who attend them. Patricia also shows Himilayan bunnies (bunnies are easier to show -- toss in a cage, no leg wrapping or baths involved and they weigh only 4#). Te and Patricia's favorite class is Trail where horse and rider work as one to complete obstacles perfectly. 
Sharon Carnefix Board Member Sharon has been married to her wonderful husband for a little over 2 years and has a lovely teenage daughter and a great adult step-daughter. She has been working for the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder for almost 19 years. She has had the horse bug since she was a little girl and worked hard to convince her parents that she needed one. Sharon has now had horses for over 34 years. In that time she participated for many years in 4H, trained professionally for a few years, showed heavily in the RMPHA, where she won a couple of futurities. She has also enjoyed trail riding. Sharon finally reached her dream of having a place of her own to keep her horses, she says its wonderful to look out the window and see them in the backyard! She has been the person responsible for selecting and working with judges for CSHA for two years and has enjoyed all the new friends she has made.
Pamela Himes Board Member/Webmaster Pamela Himes is a “born again” horse enthusiast who is in the process of reentering the world of competitive equestrian sports after three decades off. Married with two grown children, Pam shows her Quarter Horse mare “Willow Is Impressive” in Showmanship at Halter, and her up-and-coming Quarter Horse gelding “Pistol Pakn Royal Te” in Hunter Under Saddle. Her focus and goals in the next few years will be AQHA, IBHA, and USEF shows with both. Pam also created and manages the website for ARS Equestrian Center, www.arisingstareqcenter.com, as well as managing the website for CO Stock Horse, www.coloradostockhorse.com. As a teenager, Pam trained and showed Quarter Horses, instructed students, and judged shows at the local level.

She also loves to show in open shows because of the teamwork, good sportsmanship and camraderie. The CSHA crew has quickly become some her of her dearest friends.

SAVE
GAS - RIDE A HORSE! I can save you money on gas! Alright folks, step right up! You don't want to pay $4.69 for gas, no problem, I have the perfect vehicle for you. Needs no gas, no oil, or even a battery, just a little grass and water will do these animals fine. Now everyone has different needs, so choose from the following models: 1. Trail Horse - Your average run around town animal. Has the energy to get where you are going, the brain to find the best way to go, big enough to carry the normal sized American. 2. The Arabian - perfect for those who travel long distances in a day and try to multi task while driving. Although the Arabian may not go to your home or office with out specific instruction, it WILL go somewhere. 3. The Draft - Calling all soccer moms. This big guy can carry the whole team, their gear and snacks. Just like the big machines, this guy will require more fuel, and his shoes will be more expensive than the compact model. 4. The Western Pleasure - The right car for the high end white collar workers. This animal works harder and requires more special knowledge so only the best can figure this out. Be sure to take your cell phone. You won't be stuck in traffic, you just won't be getting anywhere fast. 5. The Parelli - Salesmen, stay at home moms, and high school kids will all enjoy this dream. You can load him down with flapping Wal-mart bags, ask him to walk in places a horse won't fit, and you can dance with him as you listen to the latest tunes. 6. The Ranch - The most dependable animal available. He will go where ever you ask him to, at whatever speed is appropriate. You can tie him to the stop sign and he will be there when you get back. Best of all, this model has been specially engineered to be able to go without water for days and stay fat and slick by eating sagebrush and dead prairie grass. Of course all models are available in base colors (sorrel, bay, black) Special order colors are available (dun, gray, palomino) and for an additional fee, custom paint jobs are also available (overo, tobiano, blanket, leopard). No horse is sold with a warranty, however maintenance plans are available in the event brakes, steering, or accelerator fail.

Bust is 35", waist is 27", hips are 36", back length is 21 1/2", sleeve length is 24". I bought this jacket on ebay and, unfortunately, it is a little too small for me - my loss is your gain!
