New Business

●Lucas Wilde from Lucas Wilde Horses LLC came to speak to the group about hoof care. 

● Horse Stalls for Fair- We are estimating to have about 48 horses this year at the fair.  We can only add 6 more stalls to the barns. Looking for 2 more stall sponsors. Thank you to Sarah, Angie, and Jill for sponsoring stalls. Because of the increase in membership, we will not be able to have tack stalls at the fair. Frenchville Trailers could bring an enclosed trailer for us to have tack storage by the barns, and we can set up a tent for hay.

We do have cattle gates that we can sell to help pay for stall expenses. 

● Motion was made by Makayla N to approve ordering Barrel covers at $250 for a set of 3. Seconded by Carter. 

● Requirements for showing at the fair are posted on our Facebook page. Please be sure to reach out to the leaders if you have questions. 

● May 2nd is our Spring Clean-up day from 9 am until done. The May meeting will begin at Noon with a light lunch.  We will also be holding a New Member Meeting after the regular meeting. 

Lunch was provided by the Pronschinske Family
