Welcome to Creek Hollow Ranch’s
2008 Dressage and Breed Show Series!

I feel extremely grateful that we are able to present the shows this year. Even though we suffered devastating natural, structural, equipment and supply losses from the wildfires in October, our show facility, arenas and permanent barns sustained only cosmetic damage and remained functional.

I am blessed to have such remarkable staff, friends and family that have rallied to the aid of the Ranch and my family over the last few months. My sincere thanks to all that brought in feed, supplies, equipment, household items, and clothing to get us back on our feet. Your continued support has been an inspiration and keeps us moving forward through the difficulties with hope and optimism.

Please join us in expressing our most sincere condolences to Patrice Thompson on the loss of her horse, Alice, as a result of the fire. We are saddened by the course of events that led to her being euthanized, and our thoughts continue to be with Patrice and her family.

All of our remaining animals are well and we continue to feel fortunate that they suffered only minor eye and respiratory injuries and have recovered from the physical and mental trauma. They are all back to their normal work and play schedules and we are looking forward to getting back to the show ring with a select few.

Please accept my invitation to join us for this show season. We have worked hard to schedule fabulous judges and anticipate another great year of providing a safe, relaxed and fun environment for you to pursue your show goals.

In an effort to improve our prizes for division and high point awards, we are implementing a sponsorship opportunity for businesses and individuals to donate cash, gift certificates or merchandise. All sponsors will be included in our national advertising, prize list, sponsor directory, website, web links, e-newsletters and announcements at each show, plus much more. Please take a moment to look at our sponsorship package on the website to learn about this fabulous opportunity.

As always, our shows would not be possible without the support of many volunteers.

Huge thanks to our loyal show volunteers that have given selflessly of their time and energy to make our shows run smoothly. Please let me know if you are interested in having some fun by helping set up, pull and label tests, score, scribe, run, monitor parking, or with show hospitality. Many hands make light work and we always have a good time.

I look forward to seeing you at the shows and please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve your Creek Hollow experience. We are always open to and welcome new ideas and constructive criticism to aid us in our effort to enhance our shows.

Sincerely,

Colleen

Happy Showing in 2008 and Good Luck to You!
