Horse Clothing needs our help! Here is her direct request:
"The Hobby Horse Clothing Co. warehouse in Chino, CA was robbed late
on May 22/early May 23rd, 2009. Thieves made off with approximately
$250,000 worth of chaps and show tops. More than 300 pairs of our popular
PMS split leather chaps were stolen; they had been delivered from our
customs broker less than 12 hours earlier. No attempt was made to enter
our offices; no computers or electronic equipment in the warehouse was
taken. The thieves appeared to only be after our chaps and more expensive
garments. My employees and my company are jeopardized by this robbery;
we lost inventory, including Limited Edition garments that cannot be
replaced that would provide the cash flow to continue our business operations.
We will survive, but this is a serious setback. I am asking for the
help of horse community members in advising me by email if they come across ANY strange offers on Hobby
Horse apparel." Read more Here!Introducing

HUS 2008 Hunter Under Saddle Masters it was a really great night
for the quarter horse industry with a huge audience on hand to see some
of the best maiden 2 year olds in the country. There were actually more
entries in the Hunter Under Saddle division than the Western Pleasure
class this year, but the Quarter Horse Congress is likely the only place
in the country the stakes are this high for the Hunters ($75,000 to
the winner alone). Overall it was a very fun event for the spectators
and participants enjoyed the prize money and prestige.

Welcome
our new sponsor Western Show Jackets For several years Susan Lunenfeld
had continued to produce her show clothing, under the labels of the
different catalogs and retailers who sold her jackets, while she continued
to design 5 collections a year for her fashion business, and sell to
major retailers all over the country. By the time Susan made the decision
to step away from her two decade old fashion design business in 2001,
she had already been designing and making show jackets, for nearly 7
years. Several retailers had seen her beautifully tailored cocktail
and evening suits, and asked if she could produce only the jackets for
them to sell to their customers who showed horses. She made the decesion
to close her fashion design company, and concentrate solely on designing
and making show clothing. She had come to love making show clothing
because of its creativity, and her love of all things western. See
her designs at www.westernshowjackets.com Cooper Quarter Horses

in an All-Novice Event. Several exhibitors were in the arena for the
first time (but you wouldnt know it by their quality of Horse!) they
were riding some FINE horses - and they were having a ball! I loved
the whole atmosphere. The AQHA Introductory/Open show Sunday was a complete
success, in my opinion. 'Kudos' to the AQHA, and 'Thank you' to the

our long-time friends and new sponsor: Sher and Bob Grisham of Grisham's
Glen Pleasure Horses. Since the year 2000, these kind folks maintain
a select band of brood mares and specialize in breeding and raising
fine western pleasure horses. In September 2006, they had the very good
fortune to acquire the beautiful, overo paint stallion Zipped Up Sensation,
who will become the centerpiece of their breeding program. They say,
"Thanks," to Drema Walch for selling the stallion to them, and "Thanks,"
to Zipper for introducing Grisham's Glen to a whole new "world of color".
Zipper will be standing at Oklahoma Equine in Goldsby, OK, to a limited
book of outside mares in 2007. He bred some outstanding mares in 2006.
Sher and Bob want to invite those mare owners back and welcome new mares
too. They will provide a live color foal guarantee and offer shipped
semen. For complete breeding information, including their 2007 Breeding
