The Area III Regionals in Perry went Great!
It was so nice to meet so many of you. The "meeting" on Sat was very informative and gave us all a voice in our Area. I think that is wonderful. So ... with that being said I need to hear some of those voices. The Area 3 website is going to be an information "hub" if you will. So if your club has something going on...let me know about it. I will post it on the website with information of how to sign up, pay, etc. Whether it be meetings, shows, clinics, etc. This will be an Events Page so let me know of events.
At the meeting so many new members really didn't know where to start...I hope that we can build a website where folks can "start". For example...I have this horse...what do I do now. With the economy and gas prices it seems that folks are staying a little closer to home. But, because of the economy and gas folks need something to enjoy. Hopefully this website will get more association members joining their area functions.
I know NOTHING about the shetlands and show pony....except that they are GORGEOUS!! Perry was the first show that I had attended that held classes for them. So I need input. If someone would like to contribute to the Shetland and Show Pony page please let me know. These will just be information pages...so let me know what you enjoy about your pony...pix please too. While, our site is not "affiliated" with the National Association I plan to have them to approve what goes on the site. I don't want to step on anyone toes. I would love to have pix of the miniatures of Area 3 to use on the site too. Please make sure that pix belong to you and are not copyrighted please. This is OUR website and any and all input will be appreciated.
We are really excited to give everyone an opportunity to see what is happening in Area 3. If any show managers see this topic...I would love to speak with you too. I would like to list the shows on the events page with at least a link to the class lists and entry forms. A few folks at the meeting had never been to another show and had no idea where to go to find out about them.
We are also looking for farm sponsors. OH...and we will have an Area 3 classifieds section. I am also hoping to have a "trainer spotlight" too.
Sorry for going on and on! Thanks in Advance for everyone's input!
