Trying to catch up a bit, with US Nationals underway, we are cheering for everyone, especially those from within our region who are there with their beautiful Arabians - have already seen a few great placings from Katie Russell, Michael Damianos, Lori Hart, Jill Contreras, just to name a few, and I have only watched the first day!
Our Director Nancy Goertzen, has just given me names of judges that have committed to judge the Region 2 Show in June 2022….they are: Alan Clanton, John Rannenberg, LaRae Fletcher Powell, and Brian Scoggins. The show will return to Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara. We have worked closely with the management even with some difficulties, we will be there…..hope you can join us.
Some of our youth had a great time at a one day show put on by Stepping Stone Riding Program (Meaghan Shaffer) and enjoyed lots of fun and great tacos by Chef Benji….there are so many riding opportunities available in the central coast area if you have youth or adults interested….contact Director Nancy Goertzen at goertzenarab@gmail for information…and if you have questions about the upcoming events/shows within the Region.
Happy Fall Everyone!

In Memory of Joanne Crockett
8/2/1936 – 9/22/2021
It is with a broken heart that I am sending this message to AHA members and friends to let you know about the passing of Joanne Crockett. She was loved and admired by all her clients and all that knew her. She was truly one of the great women of our Arabian breed! Ann Green made the touching Facebook post below the morning after Joanne passed. Thank you, Ann, for being such a loyal friend and caregiver to Joanne during the final years of her life! Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute with us all!
“It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Our dear friend Joanne went home to be with Jesus last night at 9:32 pm. Joanne’s last day was a good one! When I went over to see her at 7, she told me she didn’t feel good and she just wanted to ride her horse. I told her when God healed her, she would be riding some of the best Arabian horses with sweet Vail and Mr. Bruce could coach them. She smiled and we told each other
‘I love you’. I’m so thankful God put me in her life. I love my friend but her legacy lives on. When I’m missing her, I have all of you to share a good memory with me. She loved the Arabian horse and the Arabian community. Rest in Peace Cowgirl Crockett!”
JOANNE CROCKETT OBITUARY
Joanne Marguerite Crockett rode into heaven on the evening of September 22, 2021, with her good friend and caregiver by her side. Joanne was born in Antioch, IL on August 2, 1936, to Charles and Anna (Vistain) Paddock.
Joanne always had a love for all animals, but horses were her favorite. At a young age her father bought her a pony, and she began riding. A few years after graduating high school, Joanne attended college and received a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education. After college she taught school while attending horse shows. Joanne met the love of her life, Bruce Crockett, when he asked her if he and his horse could hitch a ride to the show. Love blossomed from there and she married her cowboy. After they were married, they moved to California. While in California Joanne taught school and she and
Bruce helped Dan Gainey Sr. establish his ranch with Arabian horses. They left California and settled in Van Alstyne, Texas. It was in Texas where the two of them started Crockett Training Center. During the years together running their farm, they celebrated great success with not only regional wins but national as well. Joanne was a fantastic horsewoman, teacher to many, and a judge. Her respected judgment was requested at horse shows all over including US, Canadian and Youth Nationals, and throughout Region 9. Joanne was also invited to judge internationally in Australia, Brazil, and England. In addition to Arabians, she judged miniature horses, Morgan’s, Gypsy Vanners and Friesians. In 1991 Joanne and Bruce were both inducted into AHA’s Judges
Hall of fame.
Joanne’s love for the Arabian horse and all the friends she met on her way through life was endless. Joanne will be forever missed by many. Her legacy lives on in all the lives she touched. Joanne was proceeded in death by her husband Bruce Crockett. Joanne is survived by her cousin Marguerite Warner of Antioch IL, her second cousins Andrea Kitowski, Donna Warner and Christine Forster all of Antioch IL, Brother-in-law and sister-in-law Jean and Carol McKee of North Dakota, and her beloved horses Angel Under Fire and BJ Mexicali Rose.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Arabian Horseman Distress Fund or the Friends of Vail Foundation.
My sincere condolences to Joanne’s family and friends.
Pat Barton
Region 9 AHA Director
