Chapter Hosts Junior Horse Judging Affair
Rubidoux FFA, Fallbrook FFA, Glen Avon 4H and
French Valley 4H. We had many ICC volunteers
(human and horses) for the judging classes, which
consisted of a dressage suitability class, dressage
seat equitation and several in hand conformation
classes. The participants had a wonderful day
learning about what it takes to successfully judge a
dressage horse from Kathy Pavlich, who served as
our official judge for the day. Thanks again to the

beautiful facility and to all of

Chair Message:
Greetings All News from CDS: The ICC chapter
basket, designed and executed by Sara
Mosqueda and shipped to the CDS
annual meeting in Sacramento in
January for the silent auction during
Saturday's business meeting, was
purchased for $100. Forty percent of
that is returned to the chapter, so we
did quite well. Thanks to Sara for
volunteering to do the basket this time.
Also check out our Facebook page.
Registration at Facebook is free, and if you
search "Inland Communities," you'll see the
logo pop up. Click on it and ask to join. If you
joined when the page was first started, you
have to join again--the old page has been
archived and the page has been
"migrated." (And don't I sound like I know
what I'm talking about?)
Our March ICC board meeting, originally
scheduled for March 7 has been moved to
March 21 due to show and other
commitments for several board members,
resulting in our not having a quorum. Your
ICC board is working on a list of
"sponsorship levels" as well as new chapter
trophies, and each of these items require a
vote.
If you don't see articles or other items of
interest in Take Contact!, the ICC newsletter,
why not consider submitting something about
yourself and your horse? We also have a
feature, Meet The Trainer, and perhaps you'd
like to submit an article for that particular
segment.
The April 21 schooling show at Shadow
Ridge in Highland is going to be fantastic,
with Peggy Klump judging. Peggy did a
wonderful job for us at the October
recognized show last year, and of course,
Tom and Kathy Pavlich's facility is just
beautiful.
Shadow Ridge is also the site of the CDS
Southern Region Adult Amateur clinic with
Rachel Saavedra May 5 and 6. Auditing is
free, and everyone is welcome. I've
watched Rachel coaching at shows; am
looking forward to a full day of watching her
work with adult amateur riders.
Stay in touch with everything on our
website, www.icccds.org. There's a
calendar, show news, downloads of show
premiums, and more.
Our intrepid editor, Dusty "Perry White"
Williams, is actively seeking material for the
newsletter, which is published every two
months. Dusty's email is [email protected].
Send stories as Word attachments, pictures
in *.jpg format.
If you have questions or comments, I'm
always available. I look forward to meeting
you at a future ICC function--and members
are always welcome to attend the board
meetings as well.
See you soon, and enjoy the longer days and
good riding weather.
Any questions or comments, give me a call!

Our Members Have Been Busy
By: Susan Williams
T.C. STAFF WRITER
Even though we haven't had any chapter shows
yet this year, ICC has been well represented at
some of the early winter shows.
looking pair! Of note, this was the first time in
nine years that this show didn't have rain or
snow. We had four days of perfect weather!
In January, riders from Sunset Hills and Shadow
Ridge headed out to Thermal. We enjoyed great
desert weather, with warm days , cold nights,
and no wind! As the first show of the year for
many, we saw a lot of exuberant horses,
including mine. Some of the riders had show ring
nerves, (me), and a few riders went off course,
(me again...darn that silly halt-reinback!) Happily,
no one ended up in Mexicali on a runaway. Yes, I
was worried about that. This show was also the
U.S. debut of Steffen Peters' new megastar
Legolas. In a word, WOW!
Shortly after, we went to another CDI at Del Mar
Showpark. This was a bigger show, with a lot of
horse-watching to do. Of course, more people
means more dogs. In our aisle, we had Rocky, a
St. Bernard-Dalmatian mix. He was a gentle soul
with a disgusting habit. We were told he likes to
eat horse manure, like many dogs. But then
when he goes home, he gets car sick...can you
imagine the smell? Eewww! Also near us was
Piaffe, a horse show cat! She had a pink
harness, a pink carrier, pink polished claws, and
a cute little cheetah print fleece jacket. She was
calm and relaxed, living the good life after being
rescued from a dumpster. Horse folk are good
people!
In February, we headed to LAEC. This show was
the first CDI for our own Kim McGrath and
Winslow, at Grand Prix no less! What a great
