Our first show will be here before you know it; it is on the last Saturday in the month of May. I hope everyone is ready for the first show, be it with old faithful or a new faithful. The only change to the class list is the addition of a fun class, the position of it depending on what it is. The last show will have the costume class as its fun class, so start thinking of what your costume will be and don’t forget to include your horse in on the fun. Hope to see you there.

For those of you who would like to either sponsor a class, 1/2 class or make a donation to our operating expenses, we sincerely thank you for helping to keep the Oxford Trail Riders, the club it is today. At the moment we have 4 high point sponsors and 11 regular sponsors, so we still need 2 high point sponsors and 27 regular class sponsors.
I would also like to remind you at this time, that we welcome club show members to come out and use a “free day pass” to try out the nbha. We have senior classes for 50 and over, youth classes, and of course the open classes that they can compete in. Let your members know about the Western Fair, where we have two fun days of speed competition, everything from barrels to poles, dash, keyhole and texas speed events. That show is hosted by NBHA but is open to everyone, and we would sure like to see some of your members there having fun.
If you need any more info, please let me know.
