Club News

Congratulations to Sam and Autumn on the birth of their son, Weston Samuel Hobley, born on June 24, at a whopping 8 lbs, 10 oz!

Bragging Rights:

MONTANA HORSE COUNCIL:  Pete was invited to attend an initial meeting, as a representative of RMBA.  Others participating on the proposed Council would be Jennifer Cullen - Horse Directory, Inc – President; Renee Daniels-Mantle - Montana Horses - Sec/Trsr;  Dr. Sid Gustafson - U of Montana Western - Equine Studies Program Coordinator;  Ron Stuber - Back Country Horseman of Montana; L.C. Gagnon - MSU- Assoc Prof of Horse Science; Dr. Peter Heidmann - Montana Equine Medical and Surgical Center; Dr. Lisa Jacobson - Montana Horse Sanctuary; and Scott Neumann - Rocky Mtn. College Director of Equestrian Studies.  RMBA should feel honored to be included on this impressive list; it is a good indicator that we are recognized throughout Montana as much more than merely “a group of people trying to sell their horses”.  Almost every state has such a council that is part of the Department of Livestock.  Montana does not have such a division in the Department of Livestock.  The next meeting is in July; Pete will try to attend.

  RMBA is excited to expand the types of horses allowed in the 2008 sale to include any horse a member has owned for more than a year.  The deadline for turning in sale horse reservations along with all their attendant paperwork has been extended to June 30 in order to accommodate this change.  All of the forms needed are listed below.

  Now is also the time to consider your 2008 Marketing Plan for your Ranch or other business.  Please be sure to include RMBA.  As our activities expand, there is that much more attention being drawn to this Association, which can, in turn, direct more traffic to your own business.
Also, ALL members are encouraged to help the Advertising/Sponsorship Committee by seeking outside advertisers for our upcoming Directory, as well as Corporate Sponsors.  The more money we can draw through sponsorships, the more activities we can put on, and the more money/prizes can be paid out!!

  The 2007 Quilt Raffle brought in over $1000.  A huge thanks goes out to Pete Stiles for masterminding it, his niece Jeanne Harkins for creating it (and donating the labor), to the Pasha kids for selling selling selling tickets during Sale weekend, to Phil Murphy for being such an easy mark ardent supporter ($!), and to Karl Kimberling, the Raffle Winner!  
  The money is going to be the first in the pot for our new Scholarship Fund.
