April 27, 2008 Youth Meeting Minutes

 

Halter less Showmanship- Memorial Show, Friday night or Saturday night.

For the halter less showmanship, there will be a detailed pattern. You do not have to be dressed up in traditional showmanship attire. More than one person will be allowed to participate with the same horse. For the younger ones, we will have a Pee Wee division.

Entry Fee: $10.00

Judge: N/A

Prizes:

1st place= money

2nd place= basket(filled with horse show goods) Donated by Amy Sterling

3rd place= moxie's bling apparel(depending on gender) Donated by Jill Noyes

4th place= unknown at the moment Donated by Morgan Santagata

 

***Question of the day.

First 3 people with correct answer that are drawn win a prize. Prizes might be provided by Buddy at the Tack Connection. Libby Strickland will contact Buddy and find out about the prizes. Other prize ideas are Dunkin Donuts gift cards, gas cards, and Chinese food gift cards.

 

***Bingo.

There will be a bingo sheet. Then there will be a sheet of scavenger hunt type questions for people to do. Once they have done all of these things, they must come up to a designated person and prove to them that they have done this, and gotten bingo. The first 3 people to come up to us with bingo will win prizes. Prizes could be little trinkets.

 

***Dinner & Dance.

Invitations: Someone will need to provide the invitation paper, I think we have a person to do so.

Food: We could either have this as a potluck type thing where everyone brings something of their own for people to feast on. Or we can go places and try to get donations of either food or plates, napkins, and utensils.

 

***Apparel.

MeQHYA: For the Maine youth team, this year we would like to try and do hooded sweatshirts, instead of wind breakers. You can either purchase these, or you can earn them by selling a certain amount of tickets.

Congress: For the Maine congress youth team jackets, we are still keeping the traditional jackets. The congress jackets will be supplied by the club.

 

***Walk- Trot (English and Western)

To earn the circuit champion prize; "Small Fry Showmanship" is mandatory. Also for the walk- trot, western, English, and showmanship we would like to have the older youth team members stand either in or outside of the arena. We would also like to have a "Mom" at the out gate to take pictures of the children.

 

***Horseshoe Tournament

We are trying to see if we can still have the Horseshoe Tournament held at the shows and have part of the money earned be donated to the youth group, as done in past years.

 

***Bottle Drive

As done in past years we would like to have the bottle drive. We still need someone with either trailer or truck space to be able to haul the bottles back and forth between shows an houses. This person must also be able to store the bottles at their house and be able to bring them to redemption centers.

 

***Mock Class, Memorial Day Show.

This will be after the western warm up and the English warm up. People will get a designated time for walk, trot- jog, lope- canter. It will be called out just as a regular class would be.

Entry Fee: $5.00

 

***Jackpot Raffle

Each pot will be $250.00 and there will be one drawing each show, therefore there will be a chance to win $750.00. You name will go into the drawing 3 times, one fore each show, even if you win you still go in. The youth member who sells the most tickets at each show will win a prize.

Price per ticket: $5.00

 

***Other Fundraising Ideas:

Trust Trail

Bridle less Western Pleasure

Golfer Dad Tournament

 

***Pine Tree Classic Youth Meeting Topics

Think of walk in performance and attire for the Region 6 Experience.

 

 

P.S. If I made any mistakes please feel free to fix them. I wasn't really sure on some of the descriptions for some of the events so if you want to go through them and talk to each other then please do so.

 

Respectively Yours,

Morgan
