In Loving Memory of Gwen Nix
It is with much sorrow I am letting you know about the passing of a great horsewoman of Region 9, Gwen Nix. Ms. Nix has taught horsemanship to so many of our young riders, and also helped along the way many of the adult riders, in our Arabian horse world! This amazing woman will be missed by all who knew her! Below is Ms. Nix’s obituary which has information about the funeral service and link to the funeral home’s website where people can leave messages for the family.
GWEN NIX OBITUARY
Gwen P Nix, 87, passed away February 16, 2021, peacefully at her home in Magnolia, TX. Gwen was born July 2, 1933, in Brunswick, Georgia, the daughter of George T Phillips and Evelyn Phillips. She taught equitation and fencing at Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Virginia where she had previously received her teacher's certification in equitation. Gwen moved to Texas in 1958. In 1959 with a 100 dollar loan from her dad she started the Phillips School of Riding in Bellaire, TX. After opening up her riding school she met her future husband John D Nix who came to Houston to work on some stable construction projects. Gwen and John Nix married on August 28, 1964 and they continued their passion for horses and teaching. Gwen, John Nix and their daughter moved around the Houston area continuing their riding program under their new name Carealot Farms. As a teacher she had so many students that went on to win several national championships, but her biggest accolade of her career were the students that she taught both in and out of the show ring, teaching them not only about horses but life lessons. She was not only a passionate horsewoman but had a deep faith in God. She was a beloved and devoted member of her Church, St Timothy's Anglican Church, of Spring Texas. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Gwen is preceded in death by her husband of 20 years, John D Nix, sister, Francis Thorton and grandson Frederick W Goslin III. She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer N Goslin and Wesley Reid of Magnolia, Texas; Sister Camillie Williamson of Sea Island, Georgia; Grandchildren Crizta Goslin, Casey Goslin and Carissa Shumaker. Numerous extended family; Adopted family Julie Bijou and John Calhoun.
Funeral Service will be held on March, 6 2021, at 11 am at St Timothy's Anglican Church, 6819 Louetta Rd, Spring TX 77379. Celebration of Life gathering will follow after funeral service at her home, 10211 Pecan Hollow Rd, Magnolia, TX 77354
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Arabians Horsemen's Distress Fund, or to her church, St. Timothy's Anglican Church fund Special Gift / Note Gwen Nix
My sincere condolences to her daughter, Jennifer Goslin, and family.
Pat Barton
Region 9 AHA Director

In case you missed it, we held our first virtual club meeting of 2021 in January and our new directors at large were voted in for a two year term. Congratulations to Keegan Gay, Lorie Henderson, Holly Kratzenberg, Carisa Patterson, and Brooke Schafer!
We are less than 60 days to show time here in the Bluegrass! Join us for a one day open show here in Shelbyville, KY. This will be our 16th year to host! We will see you on April 17th!
We have several events coming your way for 2021! We analyzed and discussed and wanted to be sure that we are providing value for your membership - come find something to be a part of.
Congrats to all of our BAHA members that have been nominated for a Region 14 Award! If you have not voted yet, please take the time and show your support.
New Year, New Membership?
We miss our horse friends, too - the laughs, the sharing, the camaraderie, cheering on your friends, the feeling of being with friends that know that barn dirt might just be an official food group - all of it!
Did you know some of our club members don't even own horses, and get this - don't even own Arabians! Yes, you heard correctly! Whether it's a thoroughbred, quarter horse, morgan, arabian or more - we are a versatile club. Some members never set foot in a show ring and some have garnered multiple national wins - either way one thing rings true - We love horses and we love to have fun!
We will be celebrating our 18th year as a club this year - and we have some fun and innovative activities on our agenda for our members! Who's ready?
And, the best part? Kids are FREE! Whether joining as an AHA member or an associate member - it's FREE.
Find our membership application on our website at www.bluegrassarabians.org where you can print and mail in your application or even fill it out online and send payment via Venmo!

Meet the Region 16 Youth Director
Region 16 is pleased to announce Kiki Basta as the 2021-2022 Youth Director! Kiki is a friendly face at local, regional, and national shows and well-known for her quick smile and enthusiasm for all things equine - especially the Arabian horse!
Kiki has been showing Arabians since 2014 under the tutelage of Jennifer Jelich at Jelich Farms LLC in Massachusetts. She says, “I own two Half-Arabians, Exxhilaration and Smug and Superior, who I show equitation, hunter pleasure, and sport horse under saddle. I can’t wait for the upcoming year!”
In addition to her accolades in the show ring, Kiki is president of Jelich’s leadership team and a great role model to the younger equestrians at the farm. That experience will serve her well as she looks to organize activities to get Region 16 youth members involved.
Sloane Roncaioli, Region 16 Youth Coordinator, will assist with the coordination of youth activities. Youth interested in being involved should send an email to region16youth@gmail.com. Stay tuned for more updates!

Although the pandemic is doing everything to thwart our plans, the Region 17 Show Commission continues to make plans for a regional show. So.... Mark your Calendars! |
|
Region 17 Championship Horse Show will be held June 20 – July 4th, 2021 at the Westerner Park, Red Deer Alberta. The plans are in the works to make this an even bigger and better show than last year. The host hotel, The Sandman, has offered to keep their rates from 2020 into 2021.
Because of the border closures we are having an “all Canadian Judges panel” which will include: Pam Zimmerman, Terry Johnson and Janet Henderson in the main ring; the Sport Horse Hunter judge will be Connie Dorsch and we are finalizing the Sport Horse Dressage judge.
Western Canadian Breeders Championship Show
will be held July 14 – 18th in Chilliwack British Columbia

AAHABC : Spring Classic: May 6 – 9 and September 3 – 5: Fall Frolic: both shows will be held at the Thunderbird Horse Park, Langley BC
