Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you

make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a

feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.

~ Gillian Anderson, Actress

The horse and trail associations on the following pages of this special section of Saddle Up! Magazine are here today because of a strong sense of volunteerism. If you find that you have extra time weekly, or even monthly, the organizations that have advertised in our 2016 Membership Drive could use your help.

Even if you do not own a horse, but would like to learn more about them, volunteering is a great way to find out more about our four legged equine friends. Working behind the scenes at a horse show is a wonderful way to find out if showing horses is for you. Helping clean-up trails, campgrounds and staging areas are also a great way to volunteer and help out a worthy organization.

Find an organization in either Saddle Up! Magazine or online near you, and give them a call or send them an email. They will be happy to tell you when the next volunteer opportunity is available. You can also attend a board meeting or two, there is always someone available to answer questions and provide additional information.

Thank you to our friends that have advertised in our 2016 Membership Drive section of Saddle Up! Magazine. Your support is appreciated. We hope that the New Year is a great success for your association!

Best Wishes, Cindy Couturier, owner/editor and Mackenzie Gray, assistant editor

The Arabian Horse Association of Michigan

The Arabian Horse Association of Michigan (AHAM), is one of four clubs in Michigan dedicated to the promotion and well-being of the Arabian horse. AHAM works in conjunction with the other clubs to help with this promotion. AHAM is affiliated with Region 13, which encompasses Michigan and Indiana. They are actively involved in promoting the regional show and always strive to bring new people to the Region and their regional show.

AHAM was established more than 60 years ago. This club was started to benefit all of the Arabian horse enthusiasts in the Michigan area.

AHAM prides themselves on being in-tune with the wants and needs of their members. They are extremely exhibitor friendly and are always open to new ideas that will add benefit to their membership. AHAM keeps their members up-to-date on current happenings with the monthly e-newsletter, and with daily and weekly updates on their website, www.miarabhorse.com, their Facebook page (Arabian Horse Association of Michigan), or on their twitter account @AHAMMichigan.

AHAM holds two shows annually to help with the promotion and to give back to their membership. The first show is usually the first weekend in May and is called the Michigan All Arabian Horse Show. This horse show has been in existence for 56 years and has always proven to be a competitive, exhibitor friendly horse show. In recent years, the Michigan All Arabian Horse Show has added exciting classes aimed at encouraging this healthy competition and giving back to the amateurs in Region 13.

These “Amateur Extravaganza” classes are offered in all three performance divisions, Saddle Seat, Hunt Seat, and Western, and are open to purebred and Half-Arabians. These are jackpot classes, and the association adds a considerable amount of prize money to the pot.

The AHAM club is open for anyone to join, and they do have members from all over the country that affiliate themselves with AHAM. To join AHAM, please log onto their website at www.miarabhorse.com and click on the membership info icon. This will guide you to the appropriate forms to complte. Or, you may email the Membership coordinator at [email protected].

If you are interested in being more involved with AHAM, please go to their website at www.miarabhorse.com and email any of the board members listed. AHAM would be happy to give you more information on the next monthly board meeting or provide you with information on how to volunteer at the next horse show or clinic.

Purpose Statement:

The Buchanan Westerners Riding Club Incorporated is a non-profit organization run solely by its membership. Our non-profit organization is dedicated to the American Family through their love of horses. Our goal is to be able to continue supporting programs involving Horseback Riding for Handicapped Children, High School Equestrians, and 4-H Youth Activities.

Buchanan Westerners was founded in 1946 and boasts a membership of about 125 members. Our membership runs on a calendar year. Buchanan Westerners does not focus on any particular breed, although we are approved through PAC. We hold two shows each month from May through September in addition to various clinics and fun show events. Our annual banquet is held in the late fall and offers several High Point awards, including age divisions as well as pleasure and gaming. All members are automatically eligible for high point awards. We offer one primary fund-raiser per year; a Tack Swap held in the spring and a variety of smaller fund-raisers throughout the year.

We have a website; www.buchananwesterners.com where many of your questions may be answered. If you have questions and wish to speak to someone, the board of directors are listed on the website as well. Please call one of the officers of the board or the horse show manager for more detailed questions.

Monthly meetings for Buchanan Westerners are the second Thursday of each month at 7:00pm at the Buchanan Westerners clubhouse in Buchanan, MI.

We offer a couple of Walk/Trot classes for adults and children, which are restricted to Walk/Trot only. Exhibitors in Walk/Trot are not eligible for other Walk/Trot/Canter classes. So bring your babies to the walk/trot classes, and have a great experience and a lot of fun!

I, the undersigned, having read and understood the contents of this statement, agree to; RELEASE, ABSOLVE, FORGIVE and HOLD HARMLESS the Kensington Trial Riders Association, its members, its officers, and board members from all and any liabilities, connected to, any claims, judgment losses, costs or expenses, resulting in, but not limited to, death, physical injury, property damage or theft, to myself or my family members, pets and/or livestock, in connection with any event sponsored or organized by the Kensington Trail Riders Association. I and my family members agree, to participate in these activities fully understanding that horses can, and do act unpredictably at times, which is inherent to their nature. I further understand these activities could result in permanent injury or death to me or my family members and agree to participate in these events, knowing these activities are potentially dangerous and hazardous.

Will you or any family member be wearing helmets when you ride? Please circle: YES NO

I further agree to register at the Kensington Metropark office before riding a horse at Kensington Metropark facility, as required by the Kensington Metropark Authority.

Kensington Trail Riders Association (KTRA) is a group of like minded individuals that span both genders and all age groups. Our horses are every breed and color imaginable. The common threads that connect us are our love of riding and a desire to keep Kensington Metro Park as a destination for trail riders. With more than 25 miles of equine riding, Kensington provides wide, sandy trails, diversity of terrain, and ease of access. KTRA members have work bee activities so everyone can enjoy the trails year-round for club activities and camping events. One of the highlights this past year was the Billy Gunn Trail Challenge where we encouraged members and non-members alike to come and ride a mile, ride a trail, or ride all the trails in the park on a single day. We generally host two fun-filled camping weekends each year - one in spring, one in fall. Both camping weekends have a camp breakfast on Saturday morning and a camp potluck with a band on Saturday night. It is a wonderful, fun-filled event.

ANN LOUISE PEABODY-BUDD - As a young girl growing up on an apple orchard in Fenton, MI, I was the only one in my family of 6 who really wanted a horse. In 1970 I met my husband, Dr. Jim Budd in London, England, I was his tour guide. We were married in 1971 and a dear friend brought us a $17.50 pony and tied him to a Willow tree in our backyard. And, that was the beginning of our KaTalPa Arabians involvement in the Michigan horse industry. Our three older sons and Jim all showed Arabians and Half-Arabians in all divisions in local, regional and national events. Our daughter Marta and son Dusty started showing in lead line and continued showing in English, western, equitation, costume and park and Jim got involved with Arabian race horses. As an older student at MSU in Ag Comm-

unications, I was able to complete 4 internships at the Arabian National Championships as Assistant Commercial manager which gave me some wonderful background experience when the expanded MHC Expo was being discussed. Bev Grunheid and I were given the assignment of co-chairing the MHC International Stallion Exhibition and Trade Show that was held in the Lansing Civic Arena. I have had the wonderful honor of representing the Michigan Horse Council as their Horse Expo Chair and Co-Chair for 32 of the 33 years we have operated under the expanded format. A wonderful, active and determined committee and administrator have been actively representing the Michigan Horse Council producing one of the best Horse Expos in the US. Thank you all for your vote of confidence.

UNDER THE MICHIGAN EQUINE LIABILITY ACT, AN EQUINE PROFESSIONAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR AN INJURY TO OR THE DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT IN AN EQUINE ACTIVITY RESULTING FROM THE INHERENT RISK OF THE EQUINE ACTIVITY.

I apply to participate in or observe equine events provided and sponsored by Ranch Horse Association of Michigan (RHAM). By signing this RELEASE OF LIABILITY I understand that my involvement in a Ranch Horse Event will expose me to above normal risks due to the unpredictable behavior of horses and their reactions to surroundings of unfamiliar objects, sounds and cattle. Examples of these risks include: collisions, kicking, biting, rearing, bucking, striking, rolling, bolting and trampling. I understand that horses have a tendency to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm or death to a person on or around it. I agree that I assume and acknowledge these and other dangers that are inherent in horse related activities. I agree that I am responsible for my own safety. I agree that I have my own medical coverage. I agree that the RHAM, their members, employees, and agents will not be liable if I suffer personal injury or death. I agree not to bring any claims, demands or lawsuits against RHAM, their members, employees or agents. I agree that if RHAM, their members, agents or employees are sued by anyone else because of claimed conduct by myself, I will indemnify and hold them harmless from all damages and costs, including reasonable actual attorney fees. I agree that by signing this release it becomes binding on me, my heirs and assigns, and thus I am allowed to participate in RHAM activities or ride on property rented or in use for events. I agree that, THIS RELEASE CONSTITUTES A WAVIER OF LIABILITY BEYOND THE PROVISIONS OF THE MICHIGAN EQUINE ACTIVITY LIABILITY ACT 1994 P.A. 351. I agree that Michigan law governs the enforceability of this release. I acknowledge that I have read this waiver and liability release and I fully understand it, I am eighteen years of age or older, and that I am signing this release on my own behalf (or on the behalf of my minor children), our heirs, representatives and assigns. I understand that I am responsible for my own financial loss in relation to any theft or damage to my tack, equipment, vehicles, trailers, and horses while on the premises where an Equine event is held.

Upon purchase of a RHAM Membership, member agrees to abide by the Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of ARHA and RHAM. A RHAM membership is not required to participate in a RHAM Event as long as the participant provides proof of a current ARHA membership, but a RHAM membership must be purchased to be eligible for year-end points to accumulate and showing 3 of 4 or 4 of 5 RHAM circuit shows per season to be eligible for a year end award.

I (We) agree to abide by the rules of the American Ranch Horse Assoc. and Ranch Horse Assoc. of Michigan and will work to promote the association.

YSTRA MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose of the Yankee Springs Trail Riders Association is to preserve, protect, improve and expand existing horse campgrounds and the horse trail network in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, and the surrounding areas, for use by horsemen, their families and the general public for horse riding and camping.

To develop and maintain good communications and working relationships with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Division, and/or its successors. To assist them in their efforts to maintain adequate horse campgrounds and riding trails and to help generate revenue that will enable horse campgrounds to become self-supporting.

To promote horse riding and camping by providing information to the general public on the location of horse campground facilities, horse trails and the recreational benefits available.

Our Association was founded in 1989 by a group of riders that had been using the trails for quite some time. They decided that much more could be accomplished by organizing, and we have grown to over a hundred family memberships since then. We are a

st stcalendar year organization, offering family membership of $20.00 that runs from January 1 to December the 31 . We also offer a lifetime membership as well.

As a trail riding group we try to have at least 3 events per year, one being a fundraiser for another nonprofit organization, such as Cancer Families United. We also like to have a kid's FREE event once a year and then a club fund raiser for improvement's to camp and trails. Our events are held at our “ADOPT-A-PARK” Horseman’s Campground on Duffy Road in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area.

Our monthly meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, usually with a potluck first and the meeting to follow. Except our Annual banquet meeting which is subject to new time and location as the board sees to change each year. At the annual meeting we usually have some youth awards that we like to present to our outstanding youth participation. Our newsletters are biannual.

YSTRA will continue to improve and create more equestrian trails for our trail system with the help of our public land managers. We will continue to work to improve the campground and possibly bring electricity to our horse camp one day.

Our website is www.ystra.org and we also monitor a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ystra.org. The current Officers of the club are: Tom Chaffee, V.P., Kathy Taylor, secretary, Jeanne Burger, treasurer, Ron Walker, president. Mailings should be to YSTRA, P.O. Box 352, Delton, Michigan, 49046. Any Questions should be directed to one of the officers or Ron Walker, 5780 Gun Lake Road, Hastings, Michigan 49058. Phone 269-945-4556, Cell 616-437-0747, or email [email protected].
