Ammy Army Barn Party

YESYESYES!!! No changes to the Flyers! Whew

Do we get the run of the pad then?

I dont care if we are out in the boonies. Our horses will already have enough to be stimulated over. It'll be so cozy

I have just received news that our BARN assignment remains unchanged. The original barn is OUR barn.

I checked the map and that location is actually pretty good. Closer to Wendell as some of the more prime locations and plenty of space to park close to the stalls

I've never been so I have no idea of distance or proximity by looking at the map.

Anyone getting a golf cart? I was too late in trying to reserve mine. I looked on Tuesday and the reservations were gone...didn't think they'd cut them off that early but that's where we are. I may try to grab a daily rental once I get there. My mom with her bad hip and my friend with his bad knee could use the wheels.

I agree....with the exception of our party our horses will not be disturbed and can settle in and rest. Nothing at Scottsdale is more than a 3 minute walk.

Actually, last year it took us 10 minutes from the stalls to wendell. It was quite the hike with a colt all full of himself. These stalls are definately closer than where we were last year.

Thank you Del.

So is the whole barn all Ammy or do you all get to share the other stalls across the way with whomever?

It is my hope that all the other stalls are occupied by fellow Ammys that don't know about us. If that is the case we are going to recruit them first thing:)

At this time... It looks like I WILL BE IN SCOTTSDALE!!!! I am so happy and excited!!

We will be leaving on the 14th (my b-day) and we will be arriving there sometime on the 15th. I can't wait!

It will be so much fun to get to meet everyone! I'm bringing my camera, my camcorder, and my laptop for downloading... Someone will have to show me how to hook-up to wireless down there though.

I'm coming down with my farrier, who also breeds Arabians.

Woo Hoo!!!!!

CVR, I'm going to be in Scottsdale too. I hope we don't need our webbed feet down there!! I'm looking forward to drying out and warming up. I know it doesn't always work that way but my fingers are crossed.

I just want to shake the rust and mold off lol. Natalie says it's supposed to be in the 60's during the day so we'll be warmer anyway.

I can't wait to meet everyone!

We're almost there!!!

Yaaaay..Chellers is coming!!...great news!!...Can't wait to see and meet you there!

I am so excited for all of you! Best wishes in the ring and please, please someone send pictures for those of us that are yelling from across the country " GO AA"

Have a scotch for me at the barn party and if anyone thinks about it, I would love to see some videos of the costume classes and sidesaddle classes.

Thanks,

Dottie

Here's some photos from the party. We had a great time, everyone got to present their horses, except for our Sami as she was tired after her liberty run. Jehan stood up the best he has yet last night, so we're ready for tomorrow's halter class!

How fun! Looks a bit chilly, but a nice change from the opressive heat we usually have at shows.
Did a lot of people come?
