November President's Message

Hello all,
I have some pretty big news about next year! We'll all have some amazing show opportunities. For the first time ever (as far as our old timers can remember) New Mexico will have 5 USDF Recognized shows in one year! It starts with the Arab club hosting a USDF show in April at Expo New Mexico. Thanks to a generous donation to NMDA by our friend Krista Peek we will be sponsoring this show. NMDA will be hosting our own Dance Into Spring Recognized show in May, followed by SFDA's Recognized shows June 7th and 8th. Each day of this show counts as one show so you get two shows in two days! Lastly, our own 2nd Annual Cottonwood Classic in September completes the 5th show. So let's start planning to earn our places at Regionals and our rider awards, there's no stopping us now!

Last chance to vote in our club election winds up on the 7th. you can cast our ballot here: NMDA Ballot for term 2025-2027

It's also time to renew your membership. Please fill out membership forms here. Both online and paper membership forms are available. Membership is $50 for adults, $25 for Juniors and $100 for businesses.

If you haven't checked out your scores on the show standings page please do so now. You can find the results of this year's shows here. If there is an error or missing info please notify me immediately. I've already had a couple of people send me info on results that I missed from the dressage show at the state fair and the Arab shows. You are allowed to use one score from a non NMDA show to include in year end awards.

Lastly, a group of concerned equestrians is banding together to request improvements to Stanley Cyclone Center. If you're interested in joining Jaffray from Goose Down Farm in this endeavor please email her at mjratgdf@aol.com. She would like to have a large group attend a County meeting to make recommendations. There's power in numbers!

I'll see you in the arena!
Maribeth St Cyr
NMDA President
