June 2009 Update NMPEA has continued its relationship with the NM Paint Horse Club (NMPHC); and the NMPHC show all-breed classes AND the NM State Fair Palomino show are being used to tabulate our year end awards for 2009. See information below or the complete show rules for revised year end award rules. 2009 has seen an increase in our NM Palomino Exhibitors youth participation at the Paint shows being used to tabulate our year end awards. Thanks for the youth and their parents for coming out and supporting NMPEA Thanks to Brittney Gillings, youth president, for ring stewarding at the March Paint show at Vista Sandia in Albuquerque. She had a chance to participate in the April show in Belen and had a really successful show. Beth Floyd has been competing at all our shows that count for year end awards and is currently out in front in points. Garrett Schmidt had some great rides at the March show! Way to go Garrett! Brandon and Katherine Arnold were very competitive at our March show. We hope to see them back later in the year. IMPORTANT UPDATE The Palomino Show scheduled in conjunction with the Paint Show July 18-19 at Wright’s Arena in Moriarty has NOT BEEN APPROVED by Palomino Horse Breeders Association (PHBA). So, there will NOT BE ANY PHBA APPROVED CLASSES at this show. The New Mexico State Fair, September 14th, is the only PHBA approved show in New Mexico for 2009. UPDATES (and GOOD NEWS): Year End Awards… Registered Palomino Horses competing in the All-Breed Classes at the Paint Show July 18-19 will continue to have points count towards NMPEA year end awards. NMPEA membership required to be eligible for year end awards. If you have paid your national membership and designated NM as your affiliate, you are a member of NMPEA. Affiliate memberships (for out of state exhibitors) are available for $5.00 annually. Please remember (VERY IMPORTANT), NMPEA is recognizing PHBA horses placing in all-breed classes at the following NM Paint Horse Club shows when calculating state points for year end awards (see complete year end award rules on website). March 8 — April 19 — June 27 — July 18-19 The State Fair Palomino Horse Show will also be used to tabulate points for year end awards. Dan’s Boots and Saddles (on North Forth Street in Albuquerque) is sponsoring our Year End High Point Youth Buckle. Let them know you appreciate their support by shopping with them and telling them “Thanks” for their donation. See complete rules under Year End Awards on this web site. Saddle Participation Program… Our new 2009 Saddle Participation Program for NMPEA members (and affiliate members) has been revised (since there is only one PHBA approved show this year). For each class shown for PHBA horses competing in the Paint All-Breed Classes at the above listed shows and those showing in PHBA approved classes at the NM State Fair; one chance will be entered in a drawing for a new saddle to be held at the year end banquet. It is mandatory to show in at least one PHBA approved class to be eligible for the drawing. The more classes you show, the more chances you have to win the saddle. Complete rules are found under the year end awards program on the website. Old Mill Western Mercantile has given our club a great discount on this saddle. Let them know you appreciate their support by shopping with them and telling them “Thanks” for their support. We are still looking for additional sponsors for the saddle participation program. Contact Berniece Zielke, NMPEA Treasurer, at (505) 861-2164. Any size donation is appreciated. World Show… The Palomino Horse Breeders World Show held in Tulsa in July will be having a “slide show” presentation of each PHBA affiliate. NMPEA asked for and received a variety of photos from our members and have forwarded them on to PHBA. Our photos included “baby” photos, trail rides, show photos and our World Show competitors. Look for these photos on the web site soon. State Fair Awards… The New Mexico State Fair Palomino Show will award a Youth High Point Buckle, in addition to High Point Awards for Open and Amateur Divisions. These awards will be given by NMPEA. The State Fair Show premium and entry forms will be available online at www.exponm.com. Trail Ride… A trail ride is in the planning stages for October, followed by a cook–out. Stay tuned for more information. Feel free to contact me or other board members if you have questions, ideas, suggestions or concerns. Of course, you’re always welcome at our open board meetings the second Wednesday (normally) of every month. Come on out and support your club, your shows and Palominos! Have a great ride!
