Presidents Message:I have been pondering over my end of the year message for awhile now. What do I write and what would I like it to say ? Let me see now I could start off by saying something like, what a way to start off my new role as president. I had to break a tie for what show grounds to go to this last show season. I knew I would make some people happy and some not so happy. So I took off my hat as president for a minute and put on the hat as show manager. From that point of view I decided to stay where we had been for years. I can say we did have a very good show in Elmira. The number of horses we had was up and the weather was great too. One week later and it wouldn’t have been so great. Mother nature unleashed some really bad weather down in that neck of the woods that week. My hat goes off to our members that live in the southern tier as well as the members that live to the east of Syracuse. You all have been though a lot of hard times. We are all thinking of you and we wish you well. Our show season is now over and our faithful yellow horses are enjoying a rest from the show pen. They are either out in the pasture or on a trail ride or two, or even doing something fun like a haunted trail class. Oh yes and don’t forget a roll in the mud. We humans are working on meetings, planning our banquet for 2011, shows, fundraisers and more. We always WELCOME everyone to come and be a part of our club. That wraps up my first year, now on to the next one. I know we want to be careful what you wish for, but I wish for more members, more yellow horses, new ideas, bigger shows and good weather. Oh yes and maybe a new yellow horse for myself. I do have a couple of horses in mind. HAPPY HOLIDAYS To Everyone !!! Mike Green, |
The palomino world has lost another great stud. The Tardee Tradition Owned by Alecia Oberholtzer 5X WC & Res. WC., Congress Ch. He has over 40 kids and some are still out there showing. He was Euthanized on 12/13/2011 due to a long battle with Laminitis. I saw no hope for recovery and didn't want him to suffer anymore. He did leave me with one fantastic yellow colt, which I think will follow in his footsteps. He has 2 more babys coming in 2012, hoping they are yellow.
On Monday November 21st NYPEA Past President Mark Keith lost his arduous battle with Cancer. It is with a great deal of sadness for the loss of a good friend, fellow horseman and long-time NYPEA member that we send our condolences and thanks to his family. We are grateful for the years of service he and his family have given to NYPEA and hope they all find peace and a measure of comfort in friends and family at this sad time.
