CURRENT NEWS
Note from the President
Spring is almost here and we will be busy prepping for clinics, shows, pace rides and gymkhanas starting any day now. There are many options for you to choose from this season!
I am pleased to announce that Lucile Bump will be returning for another Centered Riding Clinic on May 20 & 21.
The details are being worked out now and clinic forms will be posted on the website shortly.
There will be Pace Rides, Hunter shows, Dressage shows and clinics to choose from this year. Please check the calendar for dates & locations.
The Equine First Aid Training was a big success. I would like to thank Dr. Loheac, Misty Meadows and all the MVHC volunteers who made it happen.
Please be sure to have your emergency plan in place even though I hope you never need to implement it!
Thank you to all our large and small animal veterinarians for all their hard work and dedication to our animals. Dr. Sauter had recently announced her retirement. We wish her the best & hope she enjoys a well deserved rest!
Happy Trails,
Julie
