Thanks to everyone who showed at the Arkansas Jamboree. It was a
great weekend with beautiful weather! Jerry Matthews, show chairman,
and his committee thank all those who pitched in to help with the show.
Circuit award winners received a bucket with the Jamboree logo on it.
At press time the plans for the Memorial Day Circuit at Hestand Stadium
are being finalized. Results will be included in next month’s article. This
show will again feature the Stanford Happening events – $500 added
Open 3 Year Old Western Pleasure, $500 added Non Pro All Age
Pleasure, and Walk Trot (11 & over). These events feature great awards
and results will be included next month.
The ArQHA Trail Ride was held at the Bar Fifty Ranch at Bismarck on May
11-13, 2007. Contact Sheila Brown at 501-525-8573 or e-mail at
mbrown@hsnp.com. Sheila is also planning a fall trail ride. Details will be
forthcoming.
Be sure to add these dates to your calendar, too. The Region Nine
Experience will be held in Jackson on August 16-19, 2007. The regional
show is designed for those exhibitors who want a larger show experience,
but may not want to compete on the world or congress level. They also
have great prizes through 5th place. There are many fun and learning
activities available, including clinics by AQHA Professional Horsemen, as
well as great shopping and free test rides on American Quarter Horses!
The former Sizzlin Summer Jackpot has been moved to September 21-23
and renamed the Fall Fun Run. It will be at Hestand Stadium again.
Barrels and poles will be offered with added money in the 4D format.

We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.
