Hello Mountain & Moorland Pony Enthusiasts,
ATTENTION REGION X--Another Opportunity to show your Ponies!
I can't believe how fast spring as flown by with summer just around the corner. With that in mind, I wanted to get out some preliminary information to you regarding the 4th annual M&M event at the Brookside Equestrian Center in Elk Grove. The event is graciously hosted by the Welsh Pony and Cob Association of California (WPCAC) as part of the Pacific Coast Classic/Western National held September 11th-13th.
This year we are making a few modifications that will hopefully make things a bit smoother for both the M&M and Welsh exhibitors. The WPCAC has arranged to have the UK judge stay an extra day so that we can hold all of the M&M classes on Saturday, September 12th! We have also been given our own arena (the arena where we held the performance classes last year) so that we do not have to wait for the Welsh classes to finish and visa versa. For those of you who were riding under lights in the Ridden M&M class - I think we can safely say that won't happen this year.
We will be offering the following classes - though not necessarily in this order. Both registered purebred M&M's and part bred M&M's can participate in the performance classes, although the Ridden M&M class is for purebreds only.
INHAND COMPETITION
M&M 3 and under
M&M 4 and over
NPS America M&M Champion and Reserve Champion
M&M part-bred, all ages
Ridden M&M (purebreds only)
PERFORMANCE COMPETITION
M&M Working Hunter Pony, 2'
M&M Working Hunter Pony, 2'6"
M&M Novice Ridden (walk/trot only)
M&M Leading Rein Pony (rider between 3-9 & may not enter other performance classes; pony may cross enter)
M&M Pleasure Driving
M&M Carriage Driving
M&M Driving Obstacle
For those of you needing lodging, arrangements have been made with The Comfort Inn in Galt. Many of the Welsh exhibitors have stayed there at one time or another during the past three years, and have had nothing but positive comments about the accommodations.
The WPCAC have a block of rooms reserved. When calling to make your reservation (209-744-7800), please be sure to let them know you are with the Welsh Pony & Cob Association of CA (if that doesn't work mention Judy Hubert's name to get the group rates). The rates are lower this year than last year. The block of rooms will be released AUGUST 24th, 2009, so please be sure and book your room(s) prior to that date.
I will send out more information as it becomes available to me. I will also be soliciting volunteers and sponsorships in the coming weeks. If you will not be able to bring ponies to the show, I hope you will consider volunteering and/or sponsoring a class. As always, please pass this email along to other M&M folks whose contact information I might not have.
Wishing you and your ponies all the best,

Raising Foals
Hi all! I love raising babies. It is stressful seeing a mare get ready to foal. My heart is in my throat with worry and my cell phone is in my pocket with my vet's number already dialed. 95% Of the time everything goes well. Sometimes we don't even get to see the big event. We come out to feed in the morning and we are blessed with another horse. When we do get to see the big event - what joy! This wet, little helpless thing gets licked by his mom, cuddled by his owners, eyes blinking and trying… Continue
