She and I participated in open lots of ups and downs, but what an exciting ride. Thank you for driving shows, local parades and visited schools. the opportunity. We, my husband Gary and I met many wonderful ASPC and AMHR members as we participated in shows both as exhibitors or show staff or sometimes just assisting other exhibitors. One of our acquaintances, Mrs. Judy Grant became one of my best friends. Judy was a physically challenged lady who loved horses of any size. In late 1993, Dave Diemer, who was acting Executive Secretary at the time, called me and asked if I would answer the phone at the ASPC/AMHR office. It was never a dull moment as additional staff was hired, the challenges of finding a computer programmer, developing a registration program. and the addition of Joe Schroeder who became the Director of Finance. ASPC/AMHR was quickly outgrowing the office in Peoria. In 1995 the Board of Directors voted to purchase a large office building in Morton, Illinois. The Journal • February / March 2020 9

Truth be told, if I was ever going to move from Training level to Preliminary level, I needed a Navigator. Fortunately, Karen Shaw offered to let me try her ASPC/ASPR pony, Big & Rich aka Tank, who she had successfully been showing at bred shows and won many championships with him. What a rush! I was hooked on the energy and power, and off we went. Tank (his barn name) and I have enjoyed both driving trails, CDE’s, and ADS Pleasure shows, as well as gaming events with our club, the North Texas Whip. We have won a lot of High Points, including year end High Point. I have also discovered a variety of ways to get us eliminated on Mara- thon—I wish I was as good as my pony.

Reinsmanship can be challenging because you have no idea what the pattern the judge might ask for. Turnout can be a lot of work paying close attention to the smallest details and making sure everything is very clean with highly polished brass on the harness. Some of the highlights of this past year has been winning the beautiful piece of crystal at the Daffodil Dandy show, placing reserve in Turnout at the AMHR Nationals and receiv- ing “Bucky’s” Gold and Silver Hall of Fame. 40 The Journal • February / March 2020

Carriage Committee Karen Shaw, Committee Chair Happy New Year Carriage Drivers! I have been reflecting back on a wonderful 2019 in regards to the ASPC/ AMHR/ASPR carriage division. Boy we have grown by leaps and bounds and have attracted many more of our ASPC/AMHR members to the world of carriage driving. We are all still in a learning phase and have had many great articles over on our Carriage Facebook page, many of our mem- bers have helped new drivers with their attire, horses, carts, carriages and training ideas. I will continue to seek out informative information that will benefit us all. In this issue of the Journal you will find see our three Over-all High Point Carriage drivers for 2019. In the AMHR Division, Ms. Bronagh Floyd, in the ASPC Division, Ms. Shelly Graff and our first ASPR winner, Dr. Pam Ripperda, DVM. Each of these ladies have been a great asset and support of the carriage division. Go read all about their accomplishments. Congrats! As a reminder, if you are new to carriage driving and don’t have breeching with your harness you can order a pair of carriage thimbles, for ponies or miniatures, in brass or chrome from Cathy Waxler at Star Lake Tack. These are $20.00 plus S&H. New for 2020 that passed at convention is that the only class that will get you into the carriage stakes is the regular AMHR, ASPC or ASPR Carriage class. The following classes WILL NOT get you into stakes: Working, Reinsmanship, Turnout, Precision, or Carriage Obstacles (Cones). So be sure when you sign up at a show that you enter the regular class and then follow by any of the others.
