3 The Maine Horse Association Proudly and Fondly DEDICATES its 40th Anniversary DOWNEAST HORSE CONGRESS to the Memory of PATRICIA (PAT) LECLERC It is with great sadness that MHA learned of the passing of Patricia Leclerc, 86, on March 4, Pat dedicated her life to education as well as the horse show and dog show worlds in Maine. Over the years, she taught business courses at both the high school and college level as well as working in other community college capacities. Her love of Borzoi, Airedale, and Jack Russell dogs led her to the Maine dog show world where she served as a dog show steward. With her love for the American Saddlebred and the Arabian, Pat was a dedicated worker for the Maine horse show world serving many terms on the Boards of MHA, the American Saddlebred Association of Maine and the Arabian Horse Association of Maine as well as stints as President. She was instrumental in creating the Saddlebred Futurity of Maine, one of the first in the nation, and then starting what is now known as the ASAM Summer Spectacular to showcase the Saddlebred youngster. Always the mentor and educator, she spearheaded the initiation of and supported the ASAM scholarship. Pat put together many horse show prize lists and was a familiar face in the secretary s office of countless MHA shows including this one. She taught many of the current show secretaries the basics of the job. No matter how busy, she was ready share tales of horse shows and dog shows past, lend a helping hand and tackle any challenge. Rest in peace, Pat Leclerc. Your memory and contributions to the horse show and dog show communities will live on through all those you have mentored.
