The 2016 Show Committee is already planning for 2017 with the hope that we can improve our Regional shows, grow our numbers in both the adult and youth programs...we have a great opportunity to reach out to the community to introduce the Arabian to many and that is our goal for 2017 and beyond.

If any of the Clubs within Region 2 have Youth riders, please encourage them to get involved with the Youth program - Natalie Zavala is the new President and has some very fun and exciting ideas to share with them...they can contact her through her email
.
Speaking of Youth, four members of the Region 2 Youth will be representing the Region at US Nationals October 27 - 30 in the Judging Competition. Danielle Garcia, Natalie Zavala, Sophia Hoxworth and Kate Day, members of the AHASFV Club, have earned that opportunity and we all wish them the best.

Wine Country Arabian Horse Association Presents
Sylvia Zerbini she worked with 9 stallions at liberty in Cavalia, performing complex patterns and movements all with freedom and joy! Each one of her presentations different...each one exciting and unique and each horse showing their personality and individual communication with Sylvia. They are not doing a "routine"....or tricks...or "trained" to do it a certain way...it is a true partnership!
An amazing experience! So it is with great pleasure that we are able to share "An Evening with Sylvia Zerbini and Grand Liberte' " with the community. Sylvia will be performing her signature act with 10 stallions as seen in Cavalia as well as additional presentations demonstrating amazing communication and partnering with her horses. Sylvia also enjoys an "up close and personal" time with her audience, sharing her experiences and answering questions.
In addition Sylvia will be conducting 3- day clinics at each location. Her focus on establishing trust and an unique bond without halter or whip translates into a remarkable partnership for all equestrian disciplines.Participants and auditors have been inspired and amazed at the transformation between horse and handler as Sylvia coaches and demonstrates.
Schedule:
October 7-9
Santa Rosa Equestrian Center
October 14-16
Horse Park Woodside
Each Location 3 Day Clinic (Friday-Saturday)

Top Five were Linda Browneller on Khaaruso, Leah Cain on OT Bint Moniet RSI, and Lynn Oslick on Kenlyn Psyche+/. All of these were also in the AERC top ten.

Herd Work, Reined Cow Horse, and Working Cow Horse classes were held for both Arabian and Half-Arabian/Anglo Arabian horses.
