Happy April everyone,
It's been spring like weather sun, rain, hail, sun and so on. Hope everyone has been able to ride your
horses.
At our April meeting, the work party and all the improvement planned for 2015 was the main topic so
with this in mind the next work date is April 25th at the arena. We need more workers! The hours can
count toward your year end worker point for your divisions so come and help.
The Easter Egg hunt was a lot of fun thank you Hope Langkow and Sarah Reynolds for stuffing candy
into 900 eggs and arranging for help in hiding again 900 eggs. Great hunting was had for the kids.
New bleachers will be added this summer thanks Tom.
Jan Capps out with a broken leg so please keep her in your thoughts and prays.
Have a great month!

Hunter/Jumper Update
[email protected]
I have two things for those of you who were looking forward to the benefit horse show on May 17.
First, I broke my leg (but not falling off a horse). That means we need to move the show to July 19. I
apologize for the inconvenience this causes to those who planned for the earlier date, but I will not be
able to walk on the earlier date.
Second, the charity has changed. The Mounted Patrol decided not to participate, but we are in
agreement that Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center should take its place. Little Bit is very excited
about the opportunity and is already being quite helpful. If you don’t know about this excellent
physical therapy for the disabled of all ages and various impairments, see their page at Littlebuits.org.
I hope that you will still join us as we still intend to go forward with the same show, Judge Wade
Easley is available, and almost all of our sponsors have agreed to still contribute to the auction. Now
that I have more time I am looking to find some additional ones as well. Therefore, it will be the same
format.
The registration form will go up on the Hollywood Hill Web page (Hollywoodhillsaddleclub.com) next
week. Some information that is up will be replaced with updated materials.
I want to thank so many sponsors there are too many to list here (so far we have approximately 35
auction items ranging from horse and person massages, to photos, to Oriental Carpets). So, I am
selecting a few of our sponsors for this newsletter, and will note a few more in the next one. Please
try to patronize them to show support.

Games Show Update
[email protected]
Only a week until the first game show of the season, I hope everyone has April 19th set on your
calendars. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the sun will shine on us. I am looking forward to
a great gaming season. We will need lots of volunteers to keep the events running smoothly.
Remember that you need to work to get yearend awards. I want to thank those of you who have
volunteered to head up the specific jobs. Amy awards, Shari and Ruth registration, Collyn and Bob
ring crew, Sandi announcers, Lacey judges, Helen timers and James gate. I still need someone for
rakers. If you would like to head that position please let me know. We will need help for gate at the
first show because James will not be able to attend.
Also remember to bring a few extra dollars for raffle tickets. Amy and Melisa have gone out and
gotten some great raffle prices. We want to thank the Lake Stevens Co-op Supply, Nickerwraps and
Pepto Madera for their donations.
The events for the April game are Idaho figure 8, speed barrels, international flags, Texas rollback
and barrels. There will be ribbons to 5 places in each class, participation ribbons for lead line.
Highpoint awarded to 3 places in each age group if there is at least 10 in a group. If there is less than
10 awards will be place to 2 places.
So invite your family and friends and come enjoy a great day will fast horses and good company.
