From Riders:
This space is dedicated to You, our riders! I can not think of a better way to "Kick Off" this space than to share with you an essay from Cassie that she wrote in Memoriam of our equine friend Anastasia (Annie). Here it is:
I am nominating Annie for 4-H Horse of the Year because I loved her and she loved me - and taught me how to ride. She had to be put down last spring and I was very, very sad, really in disbelief that she was gone. Even though Annie (Anastasia) was 29 years old, each and every year she still was happy to get out and work - and she took good care of her riders. I’ve never known another horse with such a great, loving personality like her. She was really honest, always energetic and willing to go.
Annie was my lesson horse from the time I was 8 years old right up until she died. I’d had one lesson horse before her, but Annie was different - she was incredibly cute for one thing, and she really loved everyone around her. The first time I rode her, I was excited and scared at the same time - but then, even though she had so much energy, I could tell she was waiting to listen to me.
I would never be as good a rider as I am now if it weren't for Annie. I learned my position with her, and how to jump! I learned equitation, dressage, jumping, drill team, bareback and trail with Annie. I also learned how to groom, saddle and take care of her too. We couldn’t afford to lease her, but I got to ride her a lot anyway. She was a beautiful bay Arabian with a ton of energy - I don’t think I could have handled Mission, my Arabian I have now, if I hadn’t learned everything on Annie first!
And I am not the only kid who learned how to ride on Annie. Annie taught lots of 4-Hers over her lifetime - here are a few I know of: Kelly Korotish, Morgan Shank, Alena Smith, Krista Lunberg, Beth Lunberg, Lauraleigh Bodette, Shauna Dullanty, Laura Dullanty, MacKenzie Caldwell, Bailey Jungwirth, Jessie Deming, Collin Beeler, Jera Beeler, Mikaila Berger, Katie Buckley-Jones, KarLee Pelham…
When I talk to other 4-Hers who were lucky enough to have hadAnnie, what comes up most is how honest she was. She was always willing to listen; what beginners needed to learn was how to ask her correctly and then you had it made.
Annie had to be put down because another horse kicked her through the fence and shattered her canon bone. I tried really hard to get there to say goodbye before the vet put her down, but I was too late. When I saw her lying there, I was so sad but you know, she looked very peaceful. I knew she'd been in pain before, so it was the best thing. Everyone on the ranch was really quiet and sad. I took a little bit of her mane to make into a bracelet and it will always make me remember Annie and what a great, good spirited horse she was. I’ll miss her for the rest of my life.
Annie really deserves to be Horse of the Year.

For Riders:
I am dedicating this space to happenings in our area that will benefit us as riders!
Happy New Year Everyone! It is a standing tradition at the Busy Bee that each January we all evaluate what we have accomplished in 2009 and re-define our riding goals for all of the fun yet to come in 2010! I Look forward to working with each of you this year!
In 2009, Rambo Riders Parents made a HUGE impression on the way the Horse Leaders in Spokane County will operate their jumping program in 2010. Rambo Riders parents have always been a large part of the volunteer effort that keeps the activities runing at the county level. Two years ago, a few parents agreed to promote a plan to revise the way our jumping program is run at county competitions. In the fall of 2009, after many long hours of discussion and research, our 4-Hers who are enrolling in the jumping competition will now have the opportunity to develop confidence and control over fences! Thank You Mimi! I am excited at the potential for success that all of our riders in Spokane County 4-H have this coming year!
