MQHA’s final Circuit of the season is done and what fun we had! This was our Futurity/Stakes Show, which was well received with good numbers of participants in each. We moved the finals to the Saturday evening again, as we used to do, which made it easier for spectators to come join in with us. The highlight for crowd entertainment purposes was the inaugural Freestyle Showmanship. We had a tango dancer, Greased Lightning “Sandys”, “Dorothys” from Wizard of Oz complete with Totos, Kenny Rogers with a horsey Dolly Parton and a groovy Dancing Queen. A lot of creativity and effort went into the routines complete with music; the crowd was really into it… dancing with the music, cheering along and a great time was had by all! Thank you to everyone who participated in any of our stakes events, congratulations to all! Thank you also to our amazing Stakes sponsors who made it all possible: Sandra Morgan, Pyke Buckley Performance Horses, STS Quarter Horses, KPN Farms, Cavalia, Hutton Performance Horses, Tinas Catering, Go West Quarter Horses, Aurel Systems, Natalie Vonk and Kim Hanley. The Non Pro coolers were sponsored by Coast Country Tack. Last year Dianne Rouse, who won the Cathy Dumaresq Non Pro Buckle, graciously asked LMQHA to award the beautiful prize kindly donated by Coast Country Tack for our 2014 winner. The generosity within our industry can be truly inspiring. Congratulations to all the LMQHA Evergreen Circuit Hi Point Winners!

Please plan on attending our AGM in November when we discuss our upcoming year, elect officers and more. We need you! We had a super year but it does take volunteers to make everything run, so please consider being a part of the process and helping our club to thrive! You can be part of a committee, a director and more.
