Thank you to each and every one of you that came out to the shows today! It was a hot one but we got it done!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to help set barrels, poles, run the gate. None of it went unnoticed. Thank you so much!

The ground held up great with those wicked fast horses today! That was a fun speed show!

We hope you had as fun of a day as we had hosting you! The last gaming show of the season is September 26th. We hope to see you there!

Hi everyone.
Just a note on KWI Saddle Club
We will not be holding anymore pleasure shows this year due to the low participation.
It cost to much to put on these shows and we as a small club can not afford to loose money.
We will revisit this later this year and make a decision about next year. High point will be based off of the two shows we have had. Sorry about this but hopefully we can get more people to sign up to show and help out.

Thanks again

Notes for the September 5th show:

* Concession stand will be open and the taco truck will be there as well.
* Only vehicles with trailers can park on the east side of the arena. Vehicles without must park on the west side.
* It’s going to be a hot one. Make sure you and your ponies stay hydrated.

As always we need barrel and pole setters and gate help. Everyone did a great job pitching in last show. Let’s do it again!

Honest post incoming:

Do you love your local saddle club the conveniences it offers? Now is your chance to step up and get involved so it can continue. Tom and I are not going to be retaining our officer/board member positions after this season. With some family decisions we’ve made recently we will not have the time to be tied down to the maintenance and preparations for shows next year.

I have checklists of stuff to be done to prep for a show. I have show forms made. I have all of the stuff with the State and the IRS in the order for our non profit status. You literally just have to walk in and follow the calendar I have set up to get this stuff done.

There are two shows left for the gaming season. I would like to be able to train someone before the end of the season.
(I am in no way saying we will not help out if we are around next year. If we are available we’d love to help out.)

Each of us are in a different season of life. It’s time for the next set of hands to take on the task. Without people stepping up your local club could end up closing.

What a great show on Saturday! Thank you to ever who came out! A special thank you to all the volunteers! We could not do do these shows without help.

Thank you for your patience with getting results posted and points updated. (We had junior high & high school rodeo on Sunday so I was tied up with that)
