COMMISSIONER MIKE BROWN REQUESTED TO RESIGN |
|
by New Hampshire Arabian Horse Association
November 2000 Letter From the President: Dear NHAHA Members, Our Halloween Cauldron Luck meeting held at the UpReach Therapeutic Riding Center was "quite tasteful." There was more food than could be consumed in an evening, so we donated the deserts and candy to the UpReach horse show that was being held the next day. We became more aware of riders with disabilities and their equine partners, and the over 120 volunteers that it requires to maintain this program. It may not be validated in the medical journals YET... but those of us who have worked with horses know the therapeutic and emotional value of our equine companions and, that "There's nothing so good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse [Winston Churchill]." We hope in the future NHAHA will utilize this excellent equine facility in Goffstown. I am headed to the IAHA convention in San Antonio after Thanksgiving. It should be a hot time down there this year. A complete counter slate of officers has been offered from the floor of convention. There is a lot of unrest in this industry right now. There are 17 resolutions pertaining to Resolution 5-90 (The office of the Judges and Stewards Commissioner) i.e.; the $3.00 fee. Mike Brown who was commissioner was requested to resign after all of the controversy regarding the number of lawsuits that are pending transpired. The NHAHA has a resolution to allow dual ownership by 2 unrelated, AHSA recognized amateurs to show in AOTR & AOTH classes. Thus allowing more people to purchase and show their Arabian horses in IAHA recognized shows. |
