"The best little cutting horse club in the West."

April, 2008

presidents message:

Hi Everyone: What a great way to start the season! At first, the weather did not want to cooperate and we had a little scare when the power was out in the entire arena. The power came back on just in time and the rain let up for all to enjoy a spectacular weekend at the new and amazing Murieta Equestrian cutting facility. We had more than 200 works. The cattle were good.

A special THANK YOU to Carol Ward for the wonderful job she did in organizing the facility and providing excellent assistance (thanks Randy) to keep the show running smoothly. Three separate shows were going on at the same time!

Thanks also to the trainers who stayed the entire day and helped everyone. Judging by Alex Long was excellent.

Welcome to new Board Members, Chris Johnsrud and Steve Schlesinger.

Hope to see you all at our next show April 13th.

~ Syd Curtis, President, CCC, Inc.
