************* SPONSORSHIP NEWS ***************
We are excited to announce that we have a new sponsor for the TVHSA
Horsemanship Medal class. The class is being sponsored by Loe
Equestrian in Memorium for Harley. The winner of each medal class
over the course of the show year will receive a special saddle pad, and
the year-end Medal Winner will receive a tack trunk. This 2'6" class
is a great opportunity to get Medal class experience. TVHSA depends
on the generosity of its members to make our shows a fun and reward-
ing experience, and Loe Equestrian has come through for us with this
terrific sponsorship--thank you!!
************** 2010 SHOW SCHEDULE **************
Our February 28th Camelot and March 7th Hansen Dam show were
both cancelled due to the weather. Since the Camelot show was sup-
posed to be our Annual Benefit Show, with double points, we have
made the Camelot show on March 14th the Benefit Show instead.
Let us know if you have any questions.
The current 2010 Show schedule is posted on the site. Please see our
Upcoming Shows page for the new information. Also, please note
that we do update the page from time to time as shows may be can-
celled or added over the course of the year.
**************** EMAIL UPDATE *****************
If you haven't already done so, please send us an email so we can up-
date our email mailing list with your most current email address. That
way, we can keep you informed of any last minute show changes, points
updates, or other important TVHSA information.
************ HANSEN DAM SHOW INFO *************
The TVHSA shows at Hansen Dam this year are being run by the
Langer Equestrian Group, and have been designated by them as the
"Lake View" series of shows. Since Langer does not have any online
signup available and does not use Horseshowtime.com, you must go to
their website to get the prize list (premium) and entry form to mail into
them to enter our Hansen Dam shows (see link below). As a bonus
for the all the Lake View shows, they are giving you one class free if
you get your entry in by the show entry deadline. (See their entry form
for more information.) As always, let us know if you have any questions.

award will receive a custom pencil portrait of his/her horse and a perpet-

Please see the 2010 Constitution (also newly updated and on our site)

addressed in our constitution, please let us know.

Please note that you can now enter many of our shows by going to the
Horse Showtime web site at www.horseshowtime.com. Check out this
site to see the list of TVHSA shows that can be pre-entered online.
You will also see the site listed on various premiums if the facility has
its show listed on the site. Also note that any information or results
posted on horseshowtime.com are the sole responsibility of their site
(TVHSA has no control over what they put on their site) and you must
contact them directly if you have any questions about information you

see on our site, not what is posted on horseshowtime.com. Any ques-
tions, let us know.
The 2010 TVHSA Constitution and Rules Document is now on the site.
Most questions about classes, points, and how we run our shows can
be answered by reading the Constitution. If you have any questions,
please let us know. Please see the Constitution and Rules page to

OTHER NEWS
It's never too early to start collecting pictures to submit for the 2011 Banquet Pro-
gram. As always, TVHSA is looking for photos depicting horse show life. This
means pictures of jumping, flat, groups and show barn life; there are no limits, but
photos from TVHSA shows are preferred. Please keep in mind that these photos
are not for ad usage, but for inside artwork.
