Members: Please check your points, meeting and work credits, and shows attended. We must be notified of any discrepancies by November 10th, 2024. Please email [email protected] immediately if you believe there is an error.
*The show secretary will be updating the standings to include tonight's meeting as soon as possible.
*Special Award Order Forms for Champions and Reserves Champions will be posted next week, after the points are finalized and locked.
*This year, you must choose an award. You will not receive a trophy as a default award. If you want the trophy, you must select it on the order form.
*All Champions and Reserves Champions will receive the rosette ribbon, even if they do not select an award.
*Special Awards must be be received by November 17th so we can begin ordering awards.
*Several members did not close out at the show office on Saturday, November 2nd. We mentioned names during the meeting to make sure these members knew to contact the show secretary. We've been attempting to contact trainers and members so we can close out Saturday's show. This was not to embarrass anyone, but to ensure they were aware of the situation so they could take care of it. We do not want anyone to miss out on their year end awards due to an oversight. We do not believe people did it deliberately. We know there was some confusion between trainers, students, and parents as to who was covering fees, add/scratches, etc, in some situations. In a few others cases, they just simply forgot. Per our bylaws, you must be "a member in good standing" to qualify for year end awards. This means all fees must be paid. Again, we didn't want anyone to be disqualified for a simple oversight. Thank you for your understanding.
*Banquet Reservations are due by December 15th, 2024. We must give an exact head count to the venue and pay the venue 30 days in advance. After December 15th, no more tickets will be available.
*Members receiving an award are free to attend. However, you must still fill out the reservation form because RHSC will be paying for your ticket.
*Children 4 and under are free to attend but still must be included on your reservation to ensure there are enough seats at your table.
*Make sure you list what barn, farm, or persons you'd like to be seated with on your banquet reservation form.
*We will have further details on the banquet in the future.
Thank you! :)

If you left the show on Saturday and did not pay your bill in full, you are not in good standing with the club (which means you do not qualify for end of year awards). Please contact the show office and pay your bill asap to resolve this matter. We do not have time to track everyone down and try to complete end of year points, etc. We had a ton of people/farms that forgot to pay with Venmo or credit card. This includes add/drops of classes. Points will be locked without changes as of 11/10.

RHSC is proud to have donated $1,016.27 to Fleet Of Angels last month. We raised this money at our annual costume charity show and our membership unanimously voted at our October meeting to donate the money raised to Fleet Of Angels. So far, they've helped over 4,000 equines from Hurricane Helene.
Our membership will vote at our November 6th meeting on annual donations to be awarded to the equine related charities who spoke at our October meeting.
RHSC is a 501c7 non-profit who supports multiple charities annually.
Per our bylaws, any equine related charity seeking a donation must give a short presentation about themselves at our October meeting annually.
The membership then votes at the November meeting as to the amounts to be donated to each charity.
The money raised at our annual costume show can be donated to any charity(ies) and does not have to be equine related.
The past several years, we have been holding a silent auction at our annual banquet in January. In 2024, we raised over $2,500 and used this money to purchase new jump standards and poles from Huck's Jumps. These were then donated to Wills Park Equestrian Center by Rolling Hills Saddle Club.
We appreciate everyone's support of our shows and events. We couldn't do this without you. ❤️

OK, everyone... We're about to catch up on sharing a whole bunch of posts about what Fleet of Angels and Red Bell Run (Mary Adams) have been doing together to help equine hurricane survivors in North Carolina and the other states affected by Hurricane Helene.

How do we know how many equines we help in situations like this? When someone picks up hay and supplies for their horses they fill out a form that informs us about who and where they are and how many horses they have. And when a whole semi load of horse hay goes to another distribution center, the number of horses fed by that hay is tracked, too.

Drumroll, please ....
So far, OVER 4000 EQUINE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE HELENE have received horse feed, bagged feed, and critical supplies either donated by Fleet of Angels supporters OR purchased with funds donated to Fleet of Angels!
