This message is from: Vivian Creigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Since I am in the middle of trying to get organized for the upcoming driving season I thought I'd pass on this tip for those of you planning o competing your Fjords in ADS events this year. I hope that means a bunch of you.
I make a mess of copies of my ADS membership card, USAe membership card, USAe Pony measurement cards or forms, depending on their age. USAe horse recording certificates and all current 2002 coggins. Anything that might be required with my entry. I keep the copies in a seperate file and put all my membership cards in another file. This way when I go to make an entry I can easily find and include copies of important info a particular event might require. I never have to carry the membership cards around with me so if my wallet is stolen or lost in the course of the season I don't need to bother these org. for replacements. Also as an organizer I can tell you that it simplifies the event secretary's job to have all the necessary forms included as well as the fact that with Driving becoming so popular and events filling early those entries that are incomplete will not be accepted even if you make opening day. I put copies of all coggins in my truck glove compartment and put the originals in a file. Health certificates generally only last for 30 days but I also make copies of those and file them , just in case. Although my vet has originals of both I'd rather bother my husband if I need copies for whatever reason. Hope this gets everyone thinking about getting to those ADS CDEs this year. If you can't drive then I highly recommend volunteering. You'll meet great people while you learn about the sport. To those of you who inquired about the Kuhnle, thank you for your interest however it has been sold. Vivian Creigh
