Recap of our 2019 banquet & winners:
Thank you to all who came out and supported us! We had a great night with great awards! The 10 raffle items were a hit and Presley Kobold had all of the luck by winning many items. Each member went home with a bucket full of horse treats, body brush, mane and tail brush, and a hoof pick. In one lucky bucket, there was a red colored mane and tail brush, while everyone else had blue, black and purple. The winner who had the red brush won a FREE 2020 membership with a vest! Our winner was Julie Martindale.

MVP Award –
We have decided to start an MVP award. We decided upon this because of the support and help that we received from the start of our year in December of 2018 all the way until today. By being on gate crew, to taking time only money, to helping take entries, to setting barrels, and even help set up for the banquet. The selflessness does not go unnoticed. Out 2019 MVP award goes to the Bitto family. Congrats on winning a custom RTIC Cooler!

Update for next year –
We will be changing things up a bit for the new year. No more year-end program but two mini series with awards! Dates will be posted soon. We will be taking the summer off so people can travel and we do not have to deal with the heat. Our spring series will have awards similar to what we had at the banquet and the fall series will have saddles.
