TRAINER of the YEAR
Once again congratulations to the Kentucky Region for having Ricky Mendoza chosen 2009 PFHA Trainer of the Year. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to help better our breed!!!!!!

2010 FEI ALLTECH WEG

The FEI Alltech World Equestrian Games will be held in Lexington, KY. At the Kentucky Horse Park. The opening date is September 25, 2010 and runs thru October 10, 2010.

Our Paso Finos will be on display from Sept. 30, 2010- Oct. 3, 2010. We will be putting on 6 events in the 4 days we are there at the horse park. PFHA is in the process of getting a choreographer/producer, deciding what horses, riders and people will be needed to assist in presenting our horses to an international event for the first time. Money has been raised thru auctions and benefits.

If interested in volunteering to help assist please call Jackie Holland 859-816-1095, we have started a list and will contact people when we know more. All will have to go thru a background check.

Kentucky Classic 2010 Show

It is that time again for planning and gearing up for our annual show in Shelbyville, Ky. The dates this year are July 16, 17 and 18. We are having 2 judges for both shows this year, a change made due to requests over the past few years from our exhibitors. We have a new show Secretary, Sharon Scott; she is very experienced in Paso Fino Horse shows and already on the job. Show manager this year is Catherine Chiappetta and we are glad to have her back after taking time off from the horses to further her career. Congrats on passing your CNA Boards but we are very glad to have you back!!!! Catherine has already started on getting things done for the show, as we all know for this type of event things have to get done early; from picking the judges down to who will donate flowers for the sounding board. Thank you Catherine.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

We need your help as volunteers at our show. Please call Catherine Chiappetta 502-727-5871 or Bob Windsor 502-647-4914. Anytime or anything that you can donate as a region member would greatly be appreciated. I.e. gate keepers, ribbon givers, dinner and auction setup, etc. The show would not be as great as it is without you as exhibitors and volunteers.

It’s a Makeover

Our website is going through a complete makeover and update. We are revamping everything from membership to adding a futurity rules section because of frequently asked questions. We hope this will help. We are always looking for new material and especially photos for our photo gallery. Send in photos on a disc or as an attachment in your email to Jackie Holland at haltnsalut@aol.com. Photos can be from local events or shows. Feel free to send in stories of human or horse interest. We all want to hear what is going on where you live. Check out our ad page and prices for advertising your farm or business or horses for sale at www.kentuckypasofinos.us.

KY Derby Pegasus Parade

Once again we have been accepted into the Kentucky Derby Pegasus Parade. What a great parade to be in to show case our horses to the world. The Derby Parade is the third largest parade in the U.S. with approximately 275,000 spectators at the parade itself in addition to local T.V. and ESPN coverage.

We are looking for horses and riders that will represent the breed. This is a large parade and it is highly recommended that you have a lot of riding and showing experience as well as your horse. Horses have to be used to loud noises, horns, marching bands, air balloon floats, etc. I think you get the idea. The parade is very exciting and spectacular to be involved in but not for the faint hearted rider. The parade is very safe and there are handlers appointed to each unit.

Please call Jackie Holland (859-816-1095) if you are interested in participating. The date of the parade is Thursday April 29, 2010 at 5 pm. In Louisville, KY.
