Probably the only actual ‘news’ this time is that, due to a rain out, the make-up Pleasure show will, indeed, be Oct. 2. Of course, we still have September and October to go here at the ‘Hollow.’ One special show is the ‘Open to the World’ contest show at the Wayne County Fair on Sept. 11. Details follow: entry booth opens at 7 a.m. The show will start at 8 a.m. Entries are $5 per class (cash only please) with $4 jackpotted for the firsth through fifth places and ribbons given for the sixth through tenth. Classes: stake bend, poles, and barrels. There is a possibility of also running ball race and flag race if time permits. Call 330/201-2222 or 330/6075106 for more information. We are pleased and again honored the fair board honors us with this responsibility during what’s arguably the top county fair in Ohio. 4-H horse shows continue through the week along with numerous equine events plus, of course, superior agricultural exhibits. Why not join us at the Wayne County Fair?

Remaining events at the ‘Hollow’ include the ‘Roundup’ Sept. 25-26 with its two-days of free fun shows, Saturday night Christian music, and Sunday morning church. It’s all open to the public; the shows and entertainment are free; and camping is permitted. (The ‘worship group’ puts the weekend on as a thank you to the saddle club for allowing us to meet there Sundays.) It’s a beautiful reminder of the presence of the Good Lord. Information is available at 330/607-5106.

The season comes to a close in October this year. A fun show Oct. 1; the Pleasure show Oct. 2, and the final planned activity of the year—Fun Show on Oct. 29. Information on all the activities can be seen on the club website.

So, even though there’s a good bit more to go and the season has been another good one, it’s never too early to thank all the good folks who have been part of mak’n it happen. I’m not gonna try to name names because I’d be sure to forget somebody. I just want to thank you all! It’s been another great year, thanks to your diligent and satisfying efforts.

Members are always welcome to ride in the arena and/or the trails between shows. But please, do not tie horses to trees and last one out close the gate when you leave.

Fall is my favorite time of year for just plain riding. I hope to get more saddle time in at the ‘Hollow’ and other cool spots around Ohio this year. God’s awesome beauty is especially obvious from the back of a good solid horse—to me, at least. And I praise Him for allowing me the opportunity.

The worship group meets Sundays at 11 a.m. Welcome! ~Stan
