Minutes of last mtg. approved as e-amiled to each SSHOW member.

Treasurers Report: unable to report as Treasurer, Janae Christiansen,

not in attendance.

Sect. Report: With completion of the 2004 show year, reveiw of the

show class sheets showed discrepancies in the individual classes between

who actually rode their horses and who was listed as "owner".. All

exhibitors will be strongly encouraged to review each class sheet they sign up for

next year ; reading to make sure the show sect. has correctly recorded the

rider, horses RECORDED name and registration number, etc., before signing for

that class.

Everyone agreed the SSH attendance was very good, including the halter

divisions.

Becca and Leslie reviewed the tabulation for high points for the SSHOW

high point awards banquet to be held next month.

Mike and Nance , as representatives to the UABHA, will take suggestions

back to the Utah All Breed for the 2005 show season. Qualifying

classes should be noted in every show premium book for the proper championship

class to be entered.

Ron suggested that the announcer at each horse show, as well as the

Utah Horse Expo, be given information on SSH breed, and while the classes

for SSH are in the arena , the announcer can use that time to educate the

observers as to the breed and way of judging their classes. It was

again mentioned that judging a SSH class is not a parady of judging a TWH

class.

Report of Sept. trail rides: No one to report on the Blackhawk Canyon

ride in Payson.

Ron reported on the Strawberry Narrows ride, hosted by Crayton and

Nance Walker, held the same Sat. as the one in Payson Canyon. There were 10

we will try to go up South Willow Canyon. Ron is heading this ride.

November ride: Mike will organize it. Possibly a nice ride on Antelope

Island, as insects should not be a problem then. More next month.
