Hot Topics
Arab Inc. will be sponsoring clinics through 2008-09. In an effort to encourage our members in their disciplines we will be subsidizing part of their clinic fees. We would also like to unify the Illinois Horse community by inviting all the clubs to participate. We have had great response from not only our members but many USDF riders and pony clubs. Yet we have only heard back from NIAC and ABU Please let me know if you or your members would like to be informed of future events.
We would like to invite your club to join us in sponsoring clinics to our members. We are organizing clinics for 2008 and 2009. If you are interested please contact me for more information. Margaret Moore 309-706-1686
