2 Chair Message: Page 2 Greetings All - News from CDS: The ICC chapter basket, designed and executed by Sara Mosqueda and shipped to the CDS annual meeting in Sacramento in January for the silent auction during Saturday's business meeting, was purchased for $100. Forty percent of that is returned to the chapter, so we did quite well. Thanks to Sara for volunteering to do the basket this time. Our March ICC board meeting, originally scheduled for March 7 has been moved to March 21 due to show and other commitments for several board members, resulting in our not having a quorum. Your ICC board is working on a list of "sponsorship levels" as well as new chapter trophies, and each of these items require a vote. The April 21 schooling show at Shadow Ridge in Highland is going to be fantastic, with Peggy Klump judging. Peggy did a wonderful job for us at the October recognized show last year, and of course, Tom and Kathy Pavlich's facility is just beautiful. Shadow Ridge is also the site of the CDS Southern Region Adult Amateur clinic with Rachel Saavedra May 5 and 6. Auditing is free, and everyone is welcome. I've watched Rachel coaching at shows; am looking forward to a full day of watching her work with adult amateur riders.

This show was the first CDI for our own Kim McGrath and Winslow, at Grand Prix no less!

Of course, more people means more dogs. In our aisle, we had Rocky, a St. Bernard-Dalmatian mix. He was a gentle soul with a disgusting habit.

STAFF WRITER Our Members Have Been Busy Even though we haven't had any chapter shows yet this year, ICC has been well represented at some of the early winter shows. looking pair! Of note, this was the first time in nine years that this show didn't have rain or snow. We had four days of perfect weather! In January, riders from Sunset Hills and Shadow Ridge headed out to Thermal. We enjoyed great desert weather, with warm days, cold nights, and no wind! As the first show of the year for many, we saw a lot of exuberant horses, including mine. Some of the riders had show ring nerves, (me), and a few riders went off course, (me again...darn that silly halt-reinback!) Happily, no one ended up in Mexicali on a runaway. Yes, I was worried about that. This show was also the U.S. debut of Steffen Peters' new megastar Legolas. In a word, WOW! In February, we headed to LAEC. This show was the first CDI for our own Kim McGrath and Winslow, at Grand Prix no less! What a great Shortly after, we went to another CDI at Del Mar Showpark. This was a bigger show, with a lot of horse-watching to do. Of course, more people means more dogs. In our aisle, we had Rocky, a St. Bernard-Dalmatian mix. He was a gentle soul with a disgusting habit. We were told he likes to eat horse manure, like many dogs. But then when he goes home, he gets car sick...can you imagine the smell? Eewww! Also near us was Piaffe, a horse show cat! She had a pink harness, a pink carrier, pink polished claws, and a cute little cheetah print fleece jacket. She was calm and relaxed, living the good life after being rescued from a dumpster. Horse folk are good people!
