Message from the Executive Director
....
 Welcome to our third Monterey Horse Park e-news. You are receiving this as you signed up on our web site at www.montereyhorsepark.org or you sent me an email. Feel free to unsubscribe at any time..but also to send to friends.
As 2007 ends, we are making an appeal to our interested supporters to
remember MHP in your "end of year" giving. Every contribution is
important to MHP; please visit our web site at www.montereyhorsepark.org,
click on the "shovel in the ground" icon and make your contribution of any amount via
Network for Good. Or send a check to Monterey Horse Park, 333 Salinas Street, Salinas, CA 93902. Funds will support MHP during this pre-construction phase - studies, drawings, engineering, County of Monterey reimbursement, legal, development and on-going expenses. Thank you in advance for your support.
We continue to be pleased at the increasing visibility of MHP - we want to be certain that the entire equestrian community knows about MHP and has the opportunity to participate and support this once in a lifetime opportunity to preserve land for equestrian uses and to build an international center for competition, right here in California.
In fact, the most frequent question asked of us is "When will you be open?" and "When can I bring my show/activity/event to MHP?" We welcome all kinds of support (including financial) and all kinds of volunteers. Thanks in advance for your interest!
In January 2008, we will be introducing our MHP membership program. For now, on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Monterey Horse Park, we wish you a joyous and peaceful holiday season.
Anne Warner Cribbs, Executive Director and Olympian

MHP Wants to Attend Your Equestrian Event in 2008
We have enjoyed meeting fellow equestrians at a number of events in 2007. If you or your organization is hosting an event, please let us know. We can provide brochures, maps, descriptions and volunteers to spread the word about Monterey Horse Park. Please send us your information and we will put it on our calendar.

Spread the Word
If you edit your equestrian
club's newsletter, if there's a message board in your barn, if you
maintain a website for equestrians, or if your friends have never heard
about the Monterey Horse Park, please feel free to download this half-page PDF ad
and use it to spread the word. You may use these files as often as you
like. However, you must not alter them in any way. Please let us know
where and when you distributed these ads. Just send a quick email to info@montereyhorsepark.org. Thank you!

Monterey Horse Park Begins Docent Tours of Land
 The best way to appreciate the opportunity we have before us to create
the Monterey Horse Park is to visit the site. Board members Steve Chidester, Tim Eastman and Bob Garcia
have marked our site with PVC markers so that we can take interested
parties to view the site on an organized basis. Current plans, which
must be coordinated with FORA and the County of Monterey, are to conduct
tours of the site on a monthly basis. To enter requests, please
contact info@montereyhorsepark.org, send your name, email contact and
Saturday availablity. Tours will be limited to 8 - 12 people at a
time, weather permitting, on the first Saturday of each month, with the
time of day to be dependent on the time of year.
