Hot stuff
And I'm not just referring to Lesa Bland! Temperatures were more than 100 degrees at State
Finals 08 in Wenatchee -- quite a contrast to the spring show's snow. Riders and horses were
dripping sweat -- except for those locals who knew to be prepared. They were able to keep
their cool by wearing Cooling Vests. Was that an unfair advantage? Nah...west siders were
still No.1 in many events.

Olympic Peninsula Region's Brooke Stromberg, left, and Interstate Princess Tanya Hull were all

mouthful of dirt from her first Cowhide race, Sam Parks suggested she, "not smile while being
dragged behind a running horse."

November Lake Chelan
What an unusual winter! I think most will agree this is one of the mildest and warmest winters we’ve
experienced. I’m so used to hunkering down for the winter I have to remind myself it’s actually warm
enough to go outside and ride or work in the yard! While I love the mild weather I’m hoping our
Olympic Mountains will get much more snowfall so those of us on the Peninsula don’t have to worry
about another drought this fall. In the meantime I think I’ll take advantage of the good riding trails on
surrounding DNR roads.

PRESIDENT’S NOTES
The thaw is upon us. Our ice is gone and mud has taken its place. I am sure that most of you can relate
to this matter. All of this means that spring is getting close as our nights become shorter. Yeah…Truly
January flew by for me and as I try to reflect on what I need to communicate to the membership my
mind is blank, but I did come up with a few pieces of information that you will find important.

Thank you to all members that responded to my plea for help on finding us Insurance. I received some
good contact information as well as a phone call from Michelle Newberg, member of the Green River
Saddle Club, who is an insurance broker and has offered to help.
A reminder that if your club is in need of a timers/judges clinic, contact Kirk Weinz, rules committee
chairman at kweinz@modsewer.com All current PSHA judges will receive a free rulebook insert.
To receive one you need to show your current judges card to a rules committee person or an officer to
receive your free insert.
Reminder: No March meeting as we now do our Timers/Judges meeting on Sunday of our Annual
meeting.
Vince and I will be attending the Chelan Rustlers Saddle Club meeting on Monday Feb 8th. They
contacted me with interest of PSHA as they heard about us when we were in Chelan for our annual
meeting. Looking forward to visiting with other equine enthusiasts.

TREASURER NEWS FROM SHANNON
Is spring here yet???????????????. I hate mud and I live on the desert side of the mountains.
Don’t forget that I have copies available of the 2009 DVD. If I can get my burner working right, I might
even be able to personalize one for you! Also, thanks to the generosity of Nancy Jagla, I have a copy of
the 1986 State Finals. But everyone knows me to be way too much of a Capitalist to give them away.
So, they are for sale too! You can consider purchasing these just a little donation! $ $20.00 each or if
you want both I’ll do it for $30 plus $2 shipping. No pirating now, you will be taking funds out of our
awards pot!
If any of you have any photos you would like to send me for next year, please do. E-mail them to
gogetabz@genext.net. Sorry, but I have nooooooo time to download them off Facebook. Also, please
sort through them and only send the good ones. Lisa and I sorted through over 4,000 photos to find the
ones we used. But, we looked at every one just so we wouldn’t miss anything.
Kudos to Kirk Weinz. So far he is the only one to send me any sponsorship money. I’m sure it will be
tough again this year but every little bit helps.
Welcome Princess Ady! I am so glad that we have a Washington Princess for Interstate this year. It
would be really cool if every Saddle club could come up with a fund raiser to help Ady in her “Quest for
the Crown” I bet the Juniors could show you how. I hear they are really good at it. There is an Interstate
Meeting this Saturday. I will report back next time.

State Finals News
State Finals 2010 August 20th, 21st and 22nd.
Well here we are again sharing the latest and greatest information with our fellow riders. The days at
work seem to crawl by however, the newsletter deadline pops up before I know it.
I would like to thank Kirk Weinz and Modern Sewer for their sponsorships of two of the Individual
Event High Points. Once again Kirk is at the head of the class and a class act his is. Thanks Kirk.
While attending a barrel race at the Trails End Arena I had the opportunity to visit with Michelle Dahl
who owns and operates Katie’s Coast to Coast. She offers tack, fancy dog collars, cowgirl clothing and
western home décor. She is very interested in attending our State Championship Show and I am hopeful
I will have that confirmed in the near future.
I have decided to have a “Grand Marshal” for our show. There are so many great people in our division
that have given their all for years and I am taking this opportunity to acknowledge them in an organized
setting which will allow us to make them feel most special. This person will receive VIP treatment and
will be honored for his or her dedication and fellowship within the PASHA family. If you would like to
make suggestions for this prestigious honor please email me. It is my hope to make this announcement
in the last newsletter before State Finals.
Not much happening yet with the $10 individual event sponsorships but I am hopeful it will pick up
speed once we start competing. I was however, after having a grueling day at work, very pleasantly
surprised to find 9 sponsorship commitments in my mail box at the barn where I board. I am truly
blessed to have such good support from horsemen outside of the PSHA group. Thank you Colleen,
Ashley, Cathy and Connie!
Until next month take care and get those horses legged up and that winter weight off.

EASTSIDE NEWS
Hello Everyone –
As Eastside Classic Chairman, I would like to share a few of my hopes for this years show:
The show will be at Appleatchee, Aug 28 & 29, starting at 10 both days. Naturally, normal Appleatchee
fees will apply for camping and stalls. Ideas are being sprouted for Hi Pt, fastest time, and just because
awards.
Items are being lined up for raffles that will add to the placing monies. Saddle covers are one of the
items.
I know it is very early in the year; but, if anyone has some special ideas for the show, please contact
me. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated by me and the riders.
Sincerely, MJ :MJF401@msn.com or 509-928-7865
Cascade Region Newsletter
Hi everyone! I can’t believe it’s already February. Just a few more months until the Cascade Region
shows will be starting back up. Usually during this time of year I would say I’m ready for warmer
weather and longer days, however it’s been pretty warm lately (for winter anyways). So I’ll just say I’m
ready for longer days. Actually, who am I kidding? I’m ready for some sun and 80 degree weather! I
want my tan back, I’m tired of my pasty white skin!
Cascade Region had our annual awards banquet organized by Roxanne Christianson (with a lot of help
from me). We are definitely going to need a bigger place next year but we made it work. Our silent
auction made around $500 for next year’s awards. Thank you to all that donated and bought something.
Also, I would like to thank Nita for being our “MC”. We wanted to give Keith the night off but he still
looked a little uneasy without the mic in his hands. Also, thank you to Jim & Sherry Scott, Olivia
McFarland, Terry Guthmiller, Nita & Tanner Stockwell and Crystal Polzin for the help setting
up/cleaning up and serving the food. And also, thank you to Kathy for collecting the dinner money. You
guys were a big help.

s. If you have an idea, message Brenda Rapose on Facebook by February 29th. We will vote on the
top five entries next month. The Hopkin’s agreed to make them for us and the cost will be around $20.

Interstate Princess Ady Crosby
Hello All! My name is Ady Shea Crosby, and I am very excited to be representing
this fabulous sport through running for Interstate Queen! I am going to put my
heart and soul into this competition and do my best to positively advertise this sport
that we all love so much. I have been riding literally since I was born when my
mom, Pam Crosby, would strap me to her back and take me for a ride. However, I
have been involved in PSHA for 8 years now, and I have loved every second of it.
The rush, the excitement, the good company, and the support we all have for once
another. I am proud to say that I am involved with the gaming genre of
horsemanship!
This year I will be turning 20, and finishing up my sophomore year at Western
Washington University. As of now, I am planning on double majoring in Sociology
and Archeological Anthropology with a minor in women’s studies. I plan on
studying abroad in South Africa sometime next year, hopefully getting involved with
real archeological digs and volunteer work in either orphanages or wildlife
conservation. If all goes well I will graduate in 2012 or 2013.
Unfortunately, I lost my horse Sonny in February 2009 due to colic, so I have been
leasing different horses the past two years. This year I will be riding Lacy, my 17
year old palomino mare. Other then PSHA, I have been involved in O Mok See’s,
4H, WAHSET, and this year I hope to branch out to even more gaming circuits and
recruit others to come see what we do. When I am not riding, going to school,
studying, or working my part time job, I like to read, crochet, dance, sing, hike, be
around friends, and laugh. I am a very happy enthusiastic person, and I honestly am
so thrilled to have the honor of representing and uniting both great states of Oregon
and Washington.
I really do appreciate all of your support and help as I try my hardest to make this
year the best yet. I hope I do you all proud on my quest for Interstate Queen! Good
luck, ride tough, have fun, support one another, and do your best!
Love,
Princess Ady Crosby!
