CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to our July Beaverhead County Cutting Circuit Award Winners!
MCHA was saddened to hear about the passing of John Bostedt last week. John was a long time MCHA member and supporter. Our condolences go out to his family.
Happy Spring in Montana! I guess if this is what it takes to get some moisture - I’m in!!! As Vice President of the Montana Cutting Horse Association, it falls on me to chair the Show Committee and to advise and assist show management. Since we are just days away from our first show in Montana, I thought it would be timely to let our members know of a few policies we are implementing.
You’ve probably noticed already that most shows are asking for entries well in advance of your arrival at the venue. And, at most of our Montana shows, we are asking exhibitors to send in a stall reservation form with either a check or your credit card number. There are several reasons for these policies:
- Cattle are hard to come by and are getting more and more expensive - it helps show management immensely if they can have an accurate assessment of numbers for each day,
- Most of our venues have a limited number of stalls, and/or are bringing in portable stalls for the cutting. It goes without saying stalls are a valuable commodity, so we are asking for a deposit so we can assure we are maximizing our use of available stalling.
- We want each exhibitor to have the best show experience possible - so we will try to make sure you know where you are stalled - but in order to do that, we need a little lead time!
MCHA is working very hard to produce quality cuttings and trying to take your suggestions and comments into consideration where we can! If you have thoughts or concerns, please talk to the Board, we can only deal with the issues we actually hear about!
Happy Spring and Happy Cutting!
