2045.0. "Need Club Name,Great Events?" by EDWIN::KRUPICKA () Tue Jul 02 1996 15:23

    I recently joined a riding club in Amherst N.H.  We will be
    meeting in two weeks to discuss going to up and coming Shows/
    events.
    
    Other than what I've read in the Peddler, does anyone know
    of anything FANTASTIC going on this month or next.  We would
    like to not have to travel too far (unless it's completely 
    worth it)
    
    Also, we are looking for a good name for this club.  Basically,
    it's an Adult riding club wanting to get together to ride,
    critique, share, take excursions, brag about our babies..etc.
    
    Any good names out there?  I had trouble naming my kids and
    thank God my horses came with names!  Any and all suggestions
    VERY welcome.
    
    Thanks so much.

    Wendy,
    
    Note 4.43 will show you a list of topics discussing clubs ... including
    a note about starting up a new club.  
    
    Are you interested in a specific discipline, ie: western, hunt seat, 
    showing, eventing, trail riding, saddle seat, etc ?  
    
    Are you looking for happenings to go watch, or to participate in with
    your horses?  
    
    In NH, you may want to join NH Horse and Trail Assoc, which has both a
    show division and a trail ride division.  Members received notices of
    upcoming events, and accumulate points towards year end awards in both
    divisions.  Even if you dont' participate, there may be some shows near
    you to go watch, etc.  From there, you'll find yourself on all natures
    of mailing lists (I know this from experience :-).  
    
    From a non-participant standpoint, what about getting your group 
    together and attending the Grand Prix jumping shin-dig coming up in
    August at Attitash?  I dont' know the specific dates off the top of my
    head, but Im sure someone in here will.   
    
    Sorry, I can't offer name advice.  I'm not allowed to anymore, since
    encouraging a friend to name her new pet parrot "Hemmoroid" (she did,
    her husband had a fit, and the bird is now called "Hemmie").

    I think HEMMIE is a great name!  some people have no sense of humor....
    
    Thanks so much for the info.  Our club consists of ALL types of riders
    Western, English, Dressage, whatever.  The events we are interested in
    will basically be for watching.  We are looking for good ways to help
    each other grow, share experiences, and just have a great horsie
    time with others that love manure.  I'll put Attitash on the top of
    the list.  And I would still love some name suggestions....however
    the "Riding Hemorrhoid's" will probably not get picked!
    
    Keep em coming folks.........Wen
