President’s Message- June 2010

Hello Cutters,

I would like to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone who “Rode For Idaho” at Western Nationals in Ogden! Congratulations to each of you that qualified to show there, and also to those of you who were finalists! With everyone’s help, ICHA came home with 5th place in the AQHA/NCHA Affiliate Challenge!

We are excited about NCHA Weekend show being held at Skaar Feedlot in Lewisville, Idaho on Friday & Saturday, June 4th – 5th. I hope to see many of you there!

Be sure to also mark your calendars for the Winnemucca Summer Cutting (Friday, July 2nd through Sunday, July 4th) in Winnemucca, Nevada. This show is ICHA-approved and is part of the 2010 Idaho Champion Series.

I would like to welcome Ryan Hutchinson as the new ICHA Youth Scholarship Coordinator! Ryan is excited about this opportunity to assist with our youth program and we are glad to have him as part of the ICHA team.

The 2010 ICHA Futurity & Aged Event will be held September 1-7, 2010 at the Idaho Horse Park in Nampa, Idaho. There will be $84,000 added, and we are making plans for it to be a really great show.

I hope now that summer seems to finally be here, that it has found each of you well. I wish you all safe travels and look forward to seeing each of you down the road somewhere soon.

Preston Skaar
ICHA President
