Pekin Saddle Club

09/13/2024

🟢🟢🟢The Show is a GO!!!🟢🟢🟢
We've been closely watching the weather all week, and all reports now show only a slight chance of rain on Saturday. The arena is getting a good watering today, and once it's worked up I'm sure the footing will be perfect.

Come show with us! Office opens at 3pm and show will begin at 4pm.

Extra arena help will be needed at this show please 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Take a turn opening/closing the gate, resetting knocked over barrels, setting up for the next class, etc. Please consider volunteering for even just an hour. It would be greatly appreciated 👏

Our last show of 2024 will be this Saturday, September 14th. The weather forecast is currently not looking favorable, but we will monitor things as the weekend gets closer. A decision to have or not have the show will be made Saturday morning. Facebook will be updated as soon as the decision is made, so please watch for that important announcement.

✴️Sponsor Shout Out✴️
Scott Ranch with Rick Scott and Tanya

We appreciate their support of Pekin Saddle Club's goal of raising enough money to purchase a small tractor for the club. This tractor would allow members the advantage of working the arena on a more regular basis, and it would also be used to keep our footing safe for our fun shows.

🌷🌻2024 Spring Fling 🌸🌼

When: Friday May 10th - Sunday May 12th

Where: Pekin Saddle Club

What: The Spring Fling is an annual weekend for club members (and their guests) to enjoy time together with their horses.

On Friday May 10th at 7:30 there will be the general membership monthly meeting. The silent auction items will be organized and bidding will start Friday night. (We are still accepting donations for the silent auction! New or lightly used horse related items are always a hit.)

Many members ride together Saturday morning and get back to the club in enough time to take care of their horses, clean themselves up a bit, and then head to the pitch-in dinner. After dinner we will have a live band, lots of dancing and fun.

Dinner Saturday will be at 6:00pm. The club will provide fried chicken and members are asked to bring a side dish to share. The band is scheduled to start playing around 8:00pm.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask 😊

Thank you to all the great participants and spectators that came out to our first show of 2024 yesterday. It was a very successful day and we saw a lot of happy faces. Our next show will be June 15th at 4pm, so mark your calendars now if you haven't already.

2024 members that place in the top ten in Open Poles or Open Barrels earn end-of-year points. At the end of the season, in September, the member with the most accumulated points in Open Poles and Open Barrels will be awarded a custom bronc halter courtesy of PSC member Troy Mason.

I will post the placings for Open Poles and Open Barrels in the comments. The highlighted names are 2024 members. (If you see an error in membership please let me know 😊)
