president s message we are now well into the year with three great shows already completed the last two being run in conjunction with the gvrha where competitors were able to compete in the vrha buckle series and/or the gvrha ride slide to america series both of these series i m sure will be keenly contested for the rest of the season the vrha has unfortunately lost a committee member in sandy dods who has resigned for personal reasons i would like to thank sandy for all the great input she has had in all aspects of the running of the vrha and particularly her input and work ethics at all of our shows and as editor of our newsletter with this being her last issue she will be greatly missed the vrha has for the last few years operated with a very small committee leaving much of the work to a very few if you believe you have something to offer reining in victoria we would love to hear from you and i remind all members that a number of positions including president and secretary will be up for election come november even though it is still some time away it will come around very quickly and the vrha cannot function without volunteers for the committee nd th th our next show is 22 may followed by a two day clinic with john woods 28 29 may john has been a great supporter of the vrha and his clinics have always been most rewarding and well supported i hope to see you at the show clinic or perhaps both ride and slide committee president peter tjepkema 0418 321 289 peterglenda@gmail.com vice president paul barratt 0418 534 544 secretary/treasurer wendy o sullivan 0419 139 066 vrhasecretary@hotmail.com general committee kristy hobson assistant treasurer 0423 673 372 jenny holmes estry1@bigpond.net.au sue learey youth representative katelyn barratt peter tjepkema vrha president mob 0448 984 621 www.lph.au.com bungonia nsw memberships 2011 membership forms are available to download from the website www.vrha.com.au alternatively contact the secretary to obtain a copy your membership will assist and support reining in victoria to all new vrha members ®tm front cover main photo inset keiran moses little gambel lena bottom l-r roy marchinton hickorys ruf n ready katelyn barratt ruf cut graham cooper &rufolena

from the secretaryfirstly i would like to thank the non-committee volunteers who helped out at the state championship show to interstate competitor graham cooper for spending 3 days prior to the start of the show on the tractor preparing the arena surface which was the best it has looked for a long time on the gate shane bettess julie nichol and astrud seletto scribes for the two days of showing raechelle salvalaggio and ciro casa thanks also to astrud and julie for organising morning tea for the judges on the friday and to garry o sullivan a very non-horsey husband for dragging the arena all day on the saturday i would also like to thank sandy dods for all her admin work before during and after the show sandy has been a great help to me with the vrha office and since the state show has resigned from the committee i for one will miss her support on the committee and at our shows and the newsletters rd the may show coming up will be the 3 caq continental affiliate qualifier for the vrha and gvrha this show will include the caq classes together with the gvrha slide to america series vrha buckle series vrha hi point classes and vrha entry level classes one big line up of classes to fit into one show day get your entries in before the closing date and take advantage of the prepaid discount entry fees and also to assist the office to get the show organised an additional reason to support early entries is that i will be for the first time utilising a computer software program designed for reining shows which will take a bit of time getting familiar with but hopefully in the long run it will assist with running shows and cut down on time for the office this program is used by other affiliate clubs and i believe it works well for them this will also be an advantage to new committee members in being able to continue running shows in the same format without having to reinvent the wheel every time by the time this newsletter goes out q11 will be over on behalf of the vrha we hope everyone who travelled to tamworth to compete in the reining classes are home safe and had many successes the vrha will be running a clinic at the machiavelli quarter horses complex at winchelsea at the end of may thanks to john woods for offering to donate his time for the weekend to kick start a number of clinics we will be holding at barry mcvilly s property these clinics are to support barry s sponsorship to the vrha barry is a keen supporter of reining and we look forward to presenting barry with his trophy buckle for the $5,000 gold sponsorship he made to the state championship show the clinic is now booked out but i am in the process of organising another date due to the enquiry demand the vrha hope to run more varied reining clinics for all levels from the winchelsea facility so keep an eye on the calendar of events for more information recently i organised framed photographs of the class champions from the state show and sent them to all class naming rights sponsors as an appreciation gesture from the vrha for their sponsorship towards the show thanks to steven tjepkema the official show photographer for designing the photo with the sponsor and class name i must admit they looked great and i am confident the sponsors will be pleased appreciation certificates have also been sent to the trophy buckle sponsors and other sponsors of the show thank you once again to all the sponsors and the club members for donating goods and supporting the club and the show lastly funds raised from the entries of the michelle halliwell memorial ladies class at the state championship show came to a total amount of $300 a cheque has been forwarded to the cancer council victoria thank you to competitors for supporting this event again this year i must also make mention of the delicious state show smorgasbord dinner held on the saturday night 56 in all attended and all had a great feed please contact the office should you have any suggestions for the club for clinics venues or if you wish to help out at shows or on the committee we would appreciate your help in anyway particularly on show days we will be looking for scribes gate marshals
