From the President's Pen

April 2007

Dear Fellow NASMA Members,

Spring time is a great time in the Rocky Mountains. Snow in the high country is disappearing fast meaning more land is open for riding. I meet many people who just let to ride they mules and donkeys with friends. The always have the same question concerning NASMA.

“I do not show my mules and donkeys, I just trail ride, why should I be a member of NASMA?” The answer is simple, the VTP Tail Committee. Trail riders can join other trail riders, in there area or across the US on NASMA sanctioned rides. This is a great place to meet other long ears loves who love to trail rider. You also can earn awards for time you spend riding your mule or donkey. Tracking your hours is easy, log on to the official NASMA web site, www.nasma.net and click on the VTP. If you have a favorite ride you love to take, consider holding a NASMA National sanctioned ride. NASMA members are also looking for a place to ride and love riding with other members.

The NASMA VTP Committee Chairperson is Stacy Golian. You may contact her by calling 573-985-7623 or E Mail vtp@nasma.net. She is working hard to update communication and the availability of logging your hours on line. Stacy is also looking for members that love trail riding, to help her with this very important committee.

Just a reminder, if you own a Jack and raise mules, now is the time to nominate your Jack to the All-Star Futurity. All information you need is found on the web site.

NASMA has also added sanctioned shows since last month. And, these are also listed in the web site.

I would like to congratulate two NASMA members. Lori Montgomery and Loren Basham who have been selected to compete in the “Extreme Cowboy Race” This is the first time mules have been selected to participate and is a very high honor for Lori, Loren and their mules. Lori will be competing at the Equine Affair in Columbus, OH and Loren will be at the Kansas City, MO race. If you see Lori or Loren, be sure to wish them “Good Luck”

Don’t forget to vote for where you, the membership, want to have the Awards Banquet. Instructions are on-line and in Mules & More.

Also remember that NASMA is run by, you the membership. If you have any questions, concerns or comments, let me know. NASMA is always looking for mule and donkey lovers to be more involved in the association, if you are interested let me know.

Sincerely,

 

Tim Doud
