Hope to see you all very soon and if you ever have a question or concern, PLEASE give me a call at 425-301-7982. Thanks for all of your dedicated support of our wonderful Evergreen Club!

Combined Driving by Merridy Hance Right around the corner there s an event that may pique your interest for driving your horses in the great out-of-doors. On May 29th, 30th and 31st, Equestrians Institute will present Everything But the Kitchen Sink at Happy Trails Arena in Ethel, Washington. The event will offer an array of choices, and horses and ponies of all sizes are welcome. You may take a lesson from world famous driver Leslie Berndl. You may choose to drive and be scored on one or more dressage tests in the Dressage Festival. You may enter Pleasure driving classes: Carriage Dog, Freestyle Dressage, Gambler s Choice Obstacles, or Ride and Drive (mini s may do the riding part in-hand). You may compete in a one-day Driving Trial. You may school your horse pretty much to your heart s content this whole weekend, yes, even in advance of competing in the Driving Trial.

EVERGREEN SPECTACULAR/AREA VIII NATIONAL AREA SHOW Once again, Evergreen Miniature Horse Club will be hosting the Area VIII National Area Show. Sponsors and Volunteers will be needed for the show as this is what makes the shows possible. Our Sponsors help with the finances of our shows. Our volunteers help to make the show run smoothly. If you would like to volunteer for any of the many areas that help, please contact one of the board members. You can take a Sponsor form to your tack store or feed store to see if they will give you a bag of feed, tack or sponsor a class. Their name/store will be mentioned on the EMHC website, be listed in the newsletter and displayed as a sponsor at the show. Sponsorship forms will be on the Evergreen MHC website at www.evergreenmhc.com Volunteers are needed for the following areas: RV Parking Hospitality Barns Gate Decorations Awards/Ribbons Publicity Sponsorships Silent Auction Sponsors: Margot Cahill Steve and Diane Zmolek Jennifer Brown-Ostler Open Shyrle and Greg Swartz Judy Oliver Gwen Rinkel Shyrle and Greg Swartz Open Open Michelle Gross Michelle Gross Star Valley Farm Potlatch Farm ALERT: INTERSTATE TRAVELING For those of you who are traveling interstate, be sure to check with your Veterinarian about health certificates and coggins testing as you are planning on crossing borders. Each state has their own requirements regarding health certificates and the need for coggins testing. Some states only require a current health certificate. When crossing the border into Canada, you will also need additional forms for taking any animal into Canada whether it be horses, dogs, cats or whatever. Your veterinarian will have all of these forms. A very good book to have regarding Interstate travel is the U.S Stabling Guide. This book covers all of the requirements for each state when traveling. It also has a list of stables for those needing overnight stabling. There are also some very good recipes in this book along with pre trip check list, a few interviews with Veterinarians, farriers and stables. This book is well worth the price of it for those traveling and needing overnight stabling. Miniature Mouthpiece Page 4
