Our associaton also has approved the Illinois State Fair cutting horse competition for July 10th and 11th.
Reminder there are many events left, and several very close races for year end awards. Please check the points before this weekend.
High School Rodeo Cutting horse competitions will be held during Cutting Fest.Youth class for the year of 2010 and 2011. Sponsoring this event is great privilege for our club. Any youth of high school age are encouraged to join Illinois High School Rodeo. The cutting horse competition is in need of more cutters. Any questions please make contact at the official web site for IHSA. Our goal is to build the youth classes and retain them as members.
Illinois State Fair Cutting competition is one of oldest events. Recently the Illinois Alliance was formed to help preserve and unite our affiliates in this state, by keeping the event going strong. Our organization has worked towards making this year a success. Please try to attend if possible.
I am excited as there are many new faces and horses. Please take the time to introduce your self this weekend.

NICHA at Holmes Ranch
Everyone at NICHA would like to give a special "THANKS" to Tommy and Linda Holmes. The show pen and footing were excellant. The local 4-H was there to provide food. We had plenty of volunteers to set up the gate panels and park the trucks and trailers. It was a very nice show. We had a late start due to technical difficulties with the new computer/printer, once we had gotten started everything went great. We had 44 entries with 6 in the Youth class. That was one of the biggest youth classes held in quite some time. Our youth's are our future weekend and limited aged events cutters, we are really happy to see that class grow. Here are the points for that show and the year to date points. Our November 8th show of 2009 was our first show of the 2010season. Barry's Livestock Championship will be held May 7th-9th. This show as well as all the other Barry show's will count for club points. We hope to see everyone at the Pecatonica Equine Center this coming weekend.
Thanks to all that came and supported the show on the 24th!
