hot!! The volunteers did all they could to relieve the suffering by constantly passing out cold water, and the show appeared to run very smoothly, but the temperature won. We enjoyed the classes we watched as some of the best horses and trainers in the country were there.

I hope all of you have done well during the recent heat wave and the same is wished for your horses. This type of weather is scary not only for the devastating heat, but the possible problems that follow from the great temperature change.

Our Summer Fiesta Show is coming this month and we hope you can attend either as a participant, volunteer or spectator. The new format, including jumping, is geared to be user friendly and the Carne Asada dinner that will be served following promises to be delicious. Meaghan, Nedra and the rest of the gang have worked hard to make it a fun show. Please give it a try. All of the show information is available on this website.

I want to thank all of you again for the wonderful support during our May Show. Many of the exhibitors at Region 2 told me what a great time they had at our show and that they are really looking forward to next year's earlier date.

Speaking of shows, we are putting the finishing touches on the Amateur Show so if you have any suggestions or requests, please call me soon.

Another fun event this month is the Lippizzaner Stallions. They are showing at Seaside Park Pacific Arena on Thursday, July 10th at 7:30. Unless other responsibilities arise, Teri and I are planning on going and would recommend the show to all.

I have given the Board this month off as far as the board meeting is concerned. We will meet again in August on the second Tuesday as usual.
