President's Message
January 2019
Welcome everyone, how quickly another year has gone by! I hope everyone has been having fun and enjoying their Haflingers.
We have a healthy membership from across the province and beyond , with members participating in various exhibitions and driving events.
This year the club decided to promote the Haflinger breed by sponsoring Ground Driving at the 4H level. Our secretary, Lisa Clements won the Championship at the 4H Pro Show in Truro. Congratulations Lisa! The club also sponsored classes at the Annapolis Valley Exhibition and the Queens Co. Fair.
Great news from The International Horse Agility Club: Nancy Ingills, a member from PEI did very well with her Haflinger Woody. They competed in the Online, Liberty and Equagility classes which is a combination of online and riding. They placed among the top 5 in their group. In 2020 the Club will be introducing Long Reining or Ground Driving Classes and Obstacles.
Although the club has had few meetings this year, the board handled any major decisions that needed to be made. “Thank You” board members. At our meeting/ Christmas gathering held on Nov.30th many members were able to attend. A good time and meal was had by all .The major decision made at this meeting was membership fee's for the 2020 year. Members decided that membership fees be set at $15.00 per person with no charge for youth under 19. Please note that all must have NSEF membership & insurance to be able to handle the horses. The club also made a donation to the IWK in the amount of $100.00 to go towards the purchase of a Smart Bed. The IWK needs 95 Smart Beds , at a cost of $15,000 each.
“Thanks” to Tim Bowser for continuing to update our web and Facebook pages. Many people view both accounts.
Our major fundraiser this year was once again the calendars, which Ardith Hatch organized. Although she had few pictures submitted, she did a great job, “Thanks” Ardith.
Our finances are fairly good, but I feel the club should look into doing some other kind of fundraisers to increase our account. All suggestions are welcome.
In closing, I'd like to “Thank” the membership for their support this year and look forward to working with everyone in 2020.

WORMING - Contributed by Janet Trimper
Worming trick that I tried today. Works quite well and no fight. I would suggest giving carrots at other times to avoid association. Someone else told me that they slather a piece of bread with the wormer, fold it over and their horse gobbles it down. Will try that next time. |
