President's Message

Dear NMQHA Members and Friend;s

     Summer is now in full swing and the horse community is busy with a variety of events and activities.  NMQHA had a wonderful Early Enchantment Circuit in April. Our two day/four judge format seems to be working for the association.  We had a solid mix of local exhibitors and guests from neighboring states.  Congratulations to the many winners.   We hope you will make plans to join us at the Land of Enchantment Circuit.  We are offering some special all-breed youth classes as well as our regular slate of NMQHA/AQHA classes.  As you read this, the SWQHA Border Circuit will have taken place, no doubt a success.  NMQHA is proud to support its sister association in approving this show.     
     We have modified the show schedule to better accommodate our exhibitors – please check the NMQHA web site at nmqha.com for details about the Land of Enchantment Circuit and the Summer Enchantment Circuit.  There are also constant updates to the association’s business and news about our activities.
     The NMQHA Board of Directors is committed to serving the NMQHA membership.  Please contact us with ideas, concerns, or just plain old news.  Also remember that individuals who are interested in possible sitting on the Board of Directors must submit a letter of intent to Anna Eader or to the NMQHA office by July 1st.  Contact any Board member with questions about this process.  Hope you are all staying cool and enjoying a wonderful summer!

See you down the road!

See you down the road, Ruth Dismuke-Blakely
NMQHA President
