Happy June everyone,
All May shows did great. English / Western shows keep growing and growing.
We still have a lot of work to do on the trail course. Tom is back from his John Wayne adventure so
we can get started back on that. As soon as we have a date we will send it out to let everyone know.
It's so nice to have a big group for the work parties. It is greatly appreciated.
Please consider volunteering at the English / Western shows and there are only three left. Even if you
can only come for a few hours it helps. Anybody can help and they are always looking for some. I
know there are a lot of schools where the kids need to do volunteer hours. This would be a great
place to do it and you would have it done before the school year started. Please think about it.
Hope everyone is getting out on their horses and riding. The weather has been beautiful.
Happy Trails to you!

Hunter/Jumper Update
[email protected]
The entry period for the July 19th show starts June 10. Please enter early so we can plan accordingly. Don’t
forget – all first places get a $15.00 Olson’s card, overall Hunter and Jumper Champions get $50.00 ones, and
the Jumper Division has stakes classes with return of your entry fee for first at every level (along with the
Olson’s Certificate). Please see our Web page: Hollywoodhillsaddleclub.com for the registration form, rules,
classes and chances to volunteer. All profits are being donated to Little Bit.
If that is not enough, we’ll have the auction going as well. All proceeds go directly to Little Bit. You can bid, or
simply “buy it now” and take it home without the fussing. You may also want to check on whether an item you
are interested in will be offered during the hunter (morning) or jumper (afternoon) part of the show. You have
your choice of many great things – just see the chart of sponsors below. Our Website for the auction (not totally
up to date yet, but getting there) helps you figure that out. It is at https://www.biddingforgood.com/HHSCLittleBit. You do not need to be present to win. At this point though, we are still operating on cash and checks
– we are working on credit cards
That is the fun part. We also need volunteers. A BIG thank you to Kimberly Lance of Kimberly Lance
Horsemanship Training and her students who are riding in the show. They and have volunteered to help set
downed rails and help raise the course. Even a barely gone Amy Mckenna is flying in from Michigan to man
the in-gate. The person in charge of Fund Raising at Little Bit has volunteered to “do whatever” (manage the
auction – what else?). So if you think you can help – set jumps the day before, help with jumps the day of, or be
the out gate person who keeps track of the ribbons and scoring position for high point (probably on a new
table), please let me know: [email protected] or 206-783-5620. We can arrange work in shifts, and I
can arrange to sign community service forms for those who need them and contact other division managers to
report your hours to them if you are a member.
Riders, if you have questions not answered on our web site (HollywoodHillSaddleClub.com) or Facebook page
(www.facebook.com/HollywoodHillSaddleClub), please do the same. Please do check out the Open Card
System Explanation that we will be using it at the show to make it run faster so you will be familiar with it.
We are thrilled to benefit Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center. Let’s bring in some bucks for the great work
they do. Come yourself, tell your friends, bring your barn. In support of our efforts, our cook shack will be open
for our famous burgers and other treats, and parking, as always, is free (although please park carefully to allow
for as many trailers as possible, and if you are only coming to the auction try not to take a trailer spot).
You have the following sponsors to choose from so far, and we highly thank them for their participation in this
benefit:

the English Showmanship classes, please consider pre-entering. It is easy to do and helps the Office Staff.
We also want to let people know that we will no longer be accepting $50.00 bills and $100.00 bills at the show
for payment for their entries. When someone comes with one of those bills early in the morning, it takes all of
our change. I guess we are getting grumpy.

an acknowledgement of your entry when we have processed it. Alll you have to do is bring your check to the
office and pick up your number. Nothing could be easier. Entries can be sent by snail mail. Snail mail entries
must be received no later than Wednesday, June 10th. All post entries must be processed by 7:45 to guarantee
entry in the showmanship classes. The weather will be warm. English participants must wear Hunt Jackets for
Equitation. The requirement for Hunt Jackets for Pleasure classes will be at the option of the Judge.
The June 13th, July 11th, and August 8th shows will be our regular Summer Series. No schooling tack will
be allowed and appropriate show clothing must be worn. Remember if you are competing in any western class
for age groups 13 & under, 14 - 17 you must wear your helmet to compete. The weather will be warm. English
participants must wear Hunt Jackets for Equitation. The requirement for Hunt Jackets for Pleasure classes will
be at the option of the Judge.

your entry form early! We have fun new prizes to 1st place and ribbons up to 6th. August 15th judge is Andrea

Games Show Update
[email protected]
Once again we had a wonderful turn out at the games show. For a holiday weekend it was a great turn out. We
had 85 plus riders. Thank you for everyone who helped. It made the show run smoothly. Just another reminder
that you must turn in a worker card, so that your points will count towards the yearend awards. We still have
about 6 members who have not turned in a worker card at the end of the show. Also please check your placing’s
during the show. Corrections will not be made if we do not know of the errors before the end of the day.
The next games show is scheduled for June 28th. The events are keg race, figure 8, key race, stake and gymkana
jig. I hope to see you all there and I hope the weather continues to be clear on the days of the games.

Barrels
GREAT NEWS!!!! We are having TWO races this coming July 12th and August 30th.
Its going to be a little different than the Wednesday night races but just as much fun and we will have Chris
from Dominos pizza at both of these events..
You can call ahead and order what you want and Chris will bring it, or you can just wing it and get what he
brings to the races.. He always has pizza and Soda but we can ask him to bring wings or whatever the demand
is, so please support him and eat with us on those barrel dates.
Ok now to the details of the races...
We are going to co sanction with WBRA and NBHA (pending approval from the district director) if we do not
get approval we will have a Jackpot 5 D to follow the WBRA race.. Not to start before 130pm on both days
For those of you that have no idea on what WBRA is or NBHA not to worry we are hear to answer all of your
questions and help.
WBRA (Washington barrel racing association) runs a bit different than our 5D Jackpot races. But it gives
everyone a chance to win money.
The novice classes are if your horse has not won more than the class you are entering.
Novice classes are as follows. 2000,1000,500,250,100 Example if your horse has not won over 100.00 in his
lifetime earnings you can enter the 100 novice class. But you can also enter all of the other novice classes too if
you would like..
Lets say your horse has won 275.00 in life time earning. You could not enter the 250 or the 100 as the LTE are
more than the class entered.. But you can enter the higher classes.
What does LTE (life time earning) entail? All Money won in the horses career including games, show, trail,
barrels, any and all money the horse has won. NOT THE RIDER!!
Now for the rest of the classes for WBRA. Open, Jackpot, Jr, and youth. (Jr is 12 and under) and (Youth is 1318,)
Open and Jackpot races are fasted time wins and will pay so many spots depending on how many entries we
get. Not like the 5 d where we break it down into divisions.
Nation Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) is run just like our 5D Jackpot races but we will not have the option
of a re ride like our Wednesday night races. Open race followed by Youth and Senior
This will be only a single race to be held after the WBRA race and not to begin before 130pm
We are working on sponsors to have added money in each race so if you would like to sponsor us this year
please let me know so we can get you all signed up and have your business announced at the shows.
These races are just for money to win and not for year end awards like last year.. If we get a lot of sponsors we
may have day awards but that will be determined of how much money we have donated to these races.
For more details about the WBRA race you can visit the website at http://www.wbra.net/
We will be taking pre entries for both of these races on July 9th from 8am-8pm and August 27th from 8am 8pm
Send those to [email protected] or [email protected]
*note we WILL NOT ACCEPT FACEBOOK ENTRIES so please email you entry with what class and rider
horse combo.
We are excited to bring back Barrel this year and look forward to seeing all of you at the races..
July 12 and Aug 30
Time only's will be from 830-10:15 $4 each or 3 for 10$ we will have them again if time allows between the
WBRA and the NBHA/Jackpot
Race begins at 11 AM and the NBHA /Jackpot not to being before 130PM
