NMRHA,

We had a total of 4 NMRHA shows in New Mexico in 2011.

Two of those were sponsored by Zia Paint Horse Club. So NMRHA did not make any money or lose any money on those.

The other two shows were held in Santa Fe on the same weekend in June – One on Saturday and the other on Sunday.

At that show we took in $3,669 in entries. We paid $1,110 for the facility, $600 for secretary, $500 for judge, $20 AQHA drug fees, $417.05 for insurance, and $681.74 in purse money. So we made $340.21.

We also took in $910 in memberships in 2011. We will spend that on year end awards. We got $1,054.94 from NRHA for doing the Jordan Larson clinic. That is to go to youth programs.

We started 2011 with $4,165.40. So we now have $4,505.61 to hold shows with. We have budgeted $3,300 to have a Saturday show and a Sunday show in Albuquerque (Expo NM) in July. $500 added each day, we will be outside in the roping arena. Luanne Beginski is putting that together for us. NMQHA will have AQHA reining classes in another arena on those days. That leaves us with $1,200 to put toward another show or shows.

Zia Paint Horse Club is also sponsoring a May 13 (Armstrong Equine, La Mesa, NM ) and an October 13 (Ruidoso, NM ) NMRHA show in 2012.

The following has been added to our show rules: "The NMRHA Year End Award system is based on a one horse/one rider team, and competitior has to attend and compete at 2/3 of the shows and one of those shows must be sponsored by NMRHA to qualify for a year-end award."

Helen Newton has offered to keep points for 2012.

Kay Coen is keeping our web site up to date.

We need someone to spend our $910 on 2011 awards.

We need someone to spend our $1,054.94 on youth programs.

We need someone to spend our $1,200 on 2012 shows, hopefully one in the Santa Fe area.

We still and always need people to come up with ideas as well as people to implement those ideas.

I look forward to hearing from each of you,

Josh Armstrong
