NCQHA News – July 2021
by Cindy Haugen, Vice President

Our members are still out and about enjoying their horses.  The weather, not so much.  Summer came on with a vengeance.  Our two 4-H leaders are keeping busy with their activities along with their showing.  Other members take to the hills, enjoying the cooler weather up there.

Our June trail ride was at Barr Lake and luckily the bugs weren’t too bad.  Something went wrong with the propane bottle, so we didn’t get to grill after all.  But we did enjoy the salads and desserts.

The Barr Lake Ride was our last guest ride of the season.  We had one guest, and she joined the NCQHA.  Welcome, Sally Scheck!  We are now looking forward to our next regular ride.  It will be Saturday, July 24, at Mt. Margaret.  This is always a nice ride, lots of trees.

One of the highlights of June was the wedding of two of our members, Liz Johnson and Russ Eason.  Congratulations to the two of you!  It was a beautiful Western style wedding and held at Lone Hawk Farm.  Liz and Russ enjoyed a honeymoon with their horses at Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, and at Jackson Hole, Wyo.

Adios, you’all.

NCQHA News – June 2021
by Cindy Haugen, Vice President

Our members are finally getting some riding in – individually, in small groups, and with the Club. Yay!

Our Red Mountain guest ride that was postponed from May 8 was finally held May 22.   The weather finally cooperated, and we had a beautiful day to ride.  We had nine riders, two of whom were guests.  Following the three-hour ride, we all enjoyed the picnic lunches each rider brought.  

Our next trail ride was also a guest ride and was held at Barr Lake on Sunday, June 13.  And, hooray!  We celebrated the return of our traditional potluck with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs – plus side dishes from attendees.  First time in over a year!

Another fun event this month was an Obstacle Management Clinic on June 5 at Cindy Loader’s Spirit Dancer Ranch.  This was a clinic for members only.  What a fun time!  We had some great instruction from Cindy.  Thanks goes to Kryss Kornfeld for getting this set up.
