August 7 - Fort Worth Dressage Club

FWDC Newsletter
August meeting has been cancelled
Scholarships Available
Our club tries to concentrate on training rather than showing,
so we host shows to raise money for our scholarship fund. This
is the time of year that our scholarship fund opens for
applications. These funds are available to pay for the costs
involved in training. The application has been sent out by Peggy
Seleske. You can submit the new application to either Peggy or
Diane Richey.

Seeking position for Nanny/ Governess…Aged Cleveland Bay mare seeking a position as
Nanny and/or Governess mare to young stock or companion horse.
Nanny Belle (Southern Belle) is super with young stock or companion to pregnant mares
and old stock. We will take care of weaned babies, and she may take over as a foster
mom.
She is looking for a situation who wants her and she can afford modest board. She must
be out a lot and has to be with others. Very much a social butterfly. She is an easy keeper
and is good with the farrier.
