FROM THE HUNTSMAN
We are halfway through the summer already (which means we are racing toward cubbing season). YAY! Hounds have been going out at least three times a week by horseback and almost everyday into the hound yard for exercise. They are raring to go hunting. The young hounds and pups are keen, and I am really excited to get them off couples and see what they can do. All hounds were vaccinated at the beginning of July by Dr. Meg, and wormed as well. All look good and are ready to give the new season their best. With 38 hounds in kennels, we will not plan on puppies for the summer.
The kennel is looking fabulous, with the new landscaping and work on the access gates and catch yards. Please come and tour kennels, and ride with us during exercising. NOW is the time to begin to get your hunt horses in shape and in the mode. Check the website for exercise days or call 303-841-3533 for any information.
PRESIDENT’S LETTER – JULY 2008
Your Board of Directors met earlier this month to carry on its normal business. Yours truly was not present, having spent some time fishing the Minnesota waters and enjoying the lake country. I’d like to thank Jim Hatterman for taking the reins at the meeting as he performed one of his duties as vice-president. Also, thanks to Cindy Byrne for chairing the budget committee and presenting its recommendations at the meeting.
Although we are not hunting during the summer, we continue to be quite busy out at the kennels. With exercising three times a week, workdays, fundraisers, and individual trips to the kennels for various reasons, there has been plenty of traffic at the Lazy K 11.
We are still six weeks away from the cub-hunting season, but in the meantime, several events of note are on the calendar. Please peruse the entire newsletter to see how you can be involved in some of these activities. The Penrose Horse Trials in the middle of August will require a considerable number of volunteers. This is typically our largest fundraiser of the year and the volunteers make it happen. The Tobias’ will need plenty of help.
The other fundraiser will be the BBQ Trail Ride in September. Vivien VanBuren is heading this event and she will also be looking for volunteers to cover various responsibilities. Please let her know if you can help.
Finally, I will take this opportunity to again, extend a hearty “thank you” to all the people who helped Sue and me with the Rally. While we were a little rusty after not having done a rally for quite a few years, it went off well and everyone seemed to have enjoyed the country, their horses, the people, and the experience.
Hope to see you this summer before cubbing, i.e. workdays, exercising, fundraisers. And to Jessie, Tom, Tim, Cliff, Martha, and Cathy, take care of yourself and get well soon.
2008 Capping Policy – PLEASE READ
For the 2008-2009 Bijou Springs Hunt year, caps for cubbing will be $25 and for the regular hunt season each cap will be $45. As a clarification, non-members may only cap for a lifetime total of three caps (not a yearly total) and then they must apply for membership or no longer hunt. Any caps paid will count toward membership dues if the person elects to join. They may not attend free hunts after their caps are exhausted.
BSH members may invite one guest per year. If the guest is a member of another MFHA recognized hunt that is covered by MFHA insurance, no insurance fee is required. If the guest is not a member of a recognized hunt, the member or the guest must pay the $20 insurance fee. This procedure is necessary due to the restrictions on our insurance policy.
