Announcements.

• The Board, which is acting as a nominating committee is finalizing the slate of candidates for election to the Board for 2011. Three positions on the Board will be filled. The slate of candidates will be communicated to the membership well in advance of the annual meeting, in accordance with TASHA bylaws.
   

• Lana Gilpin will judge the December 2010 TASHA Holiday Horse Show, at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center.

 Board Actions. The following measures passed unanimously.

• The TASHA annual membership meeting and election of board positions will be held on Saturday, December 4, 2010, during the TASHA Holiday Horse Show.
   

• TASHA will support the expansion of the “TASHA Hall of Fame” to become a “Texas Hall of Fame,” pending approval by other ASHA charter clubs, SASHA and NTASHA.
   

• The TASHA Bylaws were amended so that communications to the general membership described under Article 6, now will be required to occur a minimum of 21 days prior to the annual meeting. Similarly, all other notifications to the membership will be required to occur 21 days in advance, instead of 30 days. This change was possible due to the widespread use of electronic communication (email and website) to make information available to TASHA members.
   

• TASHA is supportive of including the San Antonio SASHA Horse Show in TASHA high point calculations and in Texas high point tabulations. 

Minutes, October 4, 2009

The Annual TASHA meeting was held at Bluebonnet Farm.  Thank you to Ed and Ada Perwien for hosting the meeting and supplying a very nice lunch.  Beverages were supplied by Sandy Currier and Randy McBride. 

There was an impressive turnout considering the poor weather at the start of the day.  The meeting was held directly after lunch.

Biographies of most of the nominees for the TASHA board were handed out to the membership present. 

Introductions from all members present were made

Nominees to the Board introduced themselves. 

The ballot for Board of Directors was passed out and voting took place.  Votes were counted by May Chadick.

The nominees voted to the board for a three year term are Bill Marple, Barbara Simpson, and Chris Tresten.

Topics covered at the meeting:

1.   Improvements and plans for the Great Southwest Equestrian Center.    The facility cost has increased slightly, but the improvements already in progress should be worth it.          

2.   Due to the routinely low number of horses at the February show; adding another breed to the February show was discussed.        Breeds mentioned were Welsh Pony and Rocky Mountain Spotted Horse. Barbara Simpson will get in touch with the RMSH representatives. Jean Huffstickler will continue to try and contact WP representatives

3.   Possible change of show dates for our second show to help improve number of horses     was discussed.      May Chadick comments that the Awards Banquet will be held at the   February 2010 TASHA show, which usually increase our number of horses at the show.

4.   A request for show volunteers was made and a show volunteer sheet was passed around.

5.   The show still needs a videographer and farrier.  Suggestions were given

·         The photographer is Don Stine 

·         Todd Walker has been confirmed as Judge for the December show.

6.   A general question and answer session was brief

The meeting was adjourned, and members relocated to the barn for the presentation of horses for sale under $10,000.00.  This was well received and attended.
