Bits and Spurs Horse Show Circuit

2012 SEASON IS FINISHED

The year end banquet was a success and a fun time was had by all, thanks to the hard work of Robin Roberts.  We met in Kemmerer at the new Best Western Motel, which turned out to be a very nice location.  A taco bar was provided, along with desserts and drinks.  A productive annual meeting was held before lunch, presided over by our current president, Shelly Hanneman, and there were many changes made.  Please download the rules from this website to familiarize yourselves with these changes.  Lunch was served, awards were presented, and raffle tickets were drawn.  We also had a silent auction, which members contributed items for, as a little extra fundraising effort.  Thanks to everyone that attended and made this event a special one!
