GULF COAST APPALOOSA HORSE CLUB SPOTTED NEWSLETTER DEC 2014
November Open Show:
The Gulf Coast ApHC November Open show at Galveston County Fairgrounds was a success! Yes we got wet and yes we were cold but everyone hung in there and team work made it a success. Everyone had lots of fun and we made money that will go towards our point show in the spring. We even had fun selling lots of hot chocolate. Kids raced for their boots and raced for phone book pages, plus ran their horses through thread the needle.
A big “Thank You” for everyone that came out and participated.
High Point winners at the show are: Lacee Keller and Malena Lopez
The Gone Wild Raffles ended and the winners are: Sydney Roe won $351.00 & Doug Duncan won $120.00.
GCApHC Youth Club:
The first Gulf Coast Appaloosa Youth Club Board meeting went very well. Youth Director Anthony Weaver led the meeting and used this time to discuss his vision for our youth club. He set the expectation that our youth club will be an inclusive and welcoming group that will encourage and help any youth to participate. We look forward to great things from this great group of kids. If you would like to join or learn more about the youth group please contact Anthony Weaver@ 281-408-0898.
Anthony and the GCApHC would also like to thank Richard Lopez, Julie Jones and Andie Stilwell for spending their Sunday taking Christmas pictures of the children and their horses at Cypress Riding School. All of the proceeds go to the Gulf Coast Appaloosa Horse Club for our spring show. Thanks again for a job well done, this was an amazing youth club fund raiser, raising over $500.00. Thank you for all your hard work.
Holiday Pictures:
While the Youth club takes pictures on the north side of town, Natasha Snyder Photography is handling the south side. It’s not too late to get Christmas pictures, just contact Natasha Snyder Photography www.natashasnyderphotography.com at 281-508-8705. Natasha is our other club secretary and also happens to have a photography business, and would be glad to come to your barn for your Holiday pictures so give her a call.

Early planning also is going on for the second Appaloosa show at Brazos County Expo Bryan/College Station Aug 1st & 2nd 2015 Four Judges
Jerre Clark, Club Treasurer, Claudia Arnold, Club Secretary, and Windy Arnold, Director visited Brazos County Expo and was treated to a fabulous tour. We have booked the South arena and also have a huge practice arena inside and out. You can actually pull up and unload under cover if it’s raining. The facility is out of this world and we know you will love it. We plan to have many future shows at this arena.
The board searched several arenas and felt this was a great location to get established with 2 or 3 Appaloosa shows a year. The Brazos County Expo team is very excited about us putting on our Appaloosa shows with them. We hope you will plan to come to our shows and support the club!
Note: If you are thinking of attending the April show in Bryan please make hotel reservations now as that is also A & M Parent’s weekend in College Station and the hotels are filling up fast. Bryan Convention center is setting up rooms to hold for our groups and those hotels will be posted on the web shortly.
