Although we unsuccessfully attempted to schedule a horse show with PHBA approved classes in 2009, we are making plans for an approved show August 21-22, 2010 in conjunction with a NM Paint Horse Club and All-Breed show at Wright’s Arena in Stanley, NM.  Wright's Arena is a great facility for the summer show and we’re hoping to build on the success of the July NMPHC show that has been held there for several years in July.  This show will have a split/combined format.

Our year end awards program will again follow the original rules approved for 2009 and we will be using placings in the All-Breed Classes at the NMPHC shows scheduled for April 25 (Expo NM Outdoor Arena, Albuquerque), July 17-18 (Wright's Arena, Stanley) and August 21-22 (Wright's Arena) in addition to placings in PHBA approved classes at the August show and the State Fair to tabulate high point awards.  The year end awards for open horses has been revised to offer awards to both high point junior and senior horses to encourage more participation from the junior horses as we know there are quite a few young junior horses coming along.  Please check out year end awards page for more information.

2010 will see a continuation of the participation awards program, but the award (and/or awards) have not been decided.  We are discussing continuing the saddle program or a program with more awards, so check back for more details.

Also, need to say Thanks to the 2009 board.  Our club remains strong financially and ready for 2010.  Our new 2010 officers and board members (and their contact information) is listed on the Board Members page.


Please contact me or any of the board members if you have any questions, ideas, suggestions or concerns.

Our condolences to long time NMPEA members Wayne and Cathy Justus on the loss of their great halter gelding Winning Gold Bonanza on February 15, 2010. Here is Cathy's story on Win's courageous battle against fluoride poisoning Winning Gold Bonanza

Let's get out and ride.
