| Area IV Adult Riders |
 The Adult Riders session was the last session of the Area IV Annual Meeting - just before breaking up for a bar visit before dinner. In spite of that, the interest level and energy were still high.
We talked about Adult Riders requesting educational
opportunities. We have a number of clinic/camp opportunities in the works. One clinic is already set, see the website http://www.camstock.net/clinicinfoevent09.html. Another,
a camp in Minnesota/Wisconsin is in the final planning stages. And another possibility in Lake Geneva is being fleshed out. Two others are in the early planning stages. We also discussed offering mini-clinics and course walks at horse trials. Camie Stockhausen volunteered to organize a mini-clinic on proper stud use at Mill Creek Pony Club HT at Longview. It will be after the official course walk and will be FREE to Adult Rider members, $5 to others. The money collected will come back to the AR fund. Camie and Beth Stoker also volunteered to allow ARs to come along on course walks. Details to follow.
