Hey everyone... this is my synopsis of the 2006 AMHA World Show. First of all, I would like to thank all the sponsors, bidders, and volunteers that contributed the the success of the AMHyA World Show, Judging Contest, Calcutta, and other arena contests! This year AMHyA made a record (I believe the highest before was about $15,000 - last year) of approximately $32,000!!!!!! It was such an exciting evening of awards, good food, AMHyA officers (past and prospective) and "friendly" bidding!!! Also thanks to Susan Stacy (and her family) for the wonderful sculpture that she donated to the Youth (and one to the Gelding Incentive). If the success of the AMHyA is any insight to the AMHA there is nothing but the best for this Association - What a great future we all have to look forward to. Be sure to check "The World" for all the sponsors and volunteers and thank them for their wonderful efforts and contributions. I didn't get a chance to attend the Amateur party, due to the youth activities, but this event was also very appreciated and enjoyed. The Amateur committe has had a very successful year and many people benefitted from this - a couple benefits where the AOTE Challenge and the "door prizes".
Secondly, how fun the show was! Everyone was having fun in the stands watching absolutely stunning horses. But we also had a lot of fun in the barn area! Check equineimagery.com for fun shots taken at our stalls (Nostalgia Farm) where Kareoke was a big hit!!! Even AMHA's Treasurer and VP had a blast! Although we couldn't have had so much fun if it wasn't for some of the West Coast gang, Lisa Schmidt and her family and crew, Wingate Training Center (the Campbell Family), Mike and Carol Want, the Kane family and the Porter Family and crew, to name a few. We also can't leave out Emily Conder, Chandler Marks, the O'Connels, and Amanda O'Cole. See, people from the East know how to have fun too!!! haha BTW Did everyone like Sami Scheuring silks??? I though she looked smashing in the "watermelon"! I couldn't have made them look any better myself. :lol:
Lastly, we had a very successful show. The proudest was winning the World Champion Weanling Stallions 26 and Under with Nostalgias Follow Me!!!! Congratulations to David Sandeno (Washington) on the purchase of this incredible little horse (will post pictures soon). Also Nostalgias Impeachment Note and Nostalgias Shake the Money Maker won Res. Mare and Current Year Foal (thanks Amanda O'Cole for your help), not to brag much :bgrin just to mention a few. Congratulations to the Kane Family on the purchase of Nostalgias Pay the Lady! Watch for both Follow Me and Pay the Lady on the West Coast!
I hope to hear many more stories about the show and about all of your wins! The judging was great and very professional, the horses were spectacular, the people incredible and I am very much proud to be a member of the AMHA.
Hope to see you all in Feb. at the annual meeting.
