| Notice from StarWest in New Berlin, IL (west of Springfield): The Al Khamsa June and September dressage show series will end with the show this coming September 18. Alice Martin, the founder of those shows, writes, 'It is with a great deal of regret that I withdraw from the commitments of a lifetime and end the Al Khamsa Dressage shows, Al Khamsa and Al Khamsa Fall Dressage, effective 2011. . . . The horses and the people who enjoyed and supported them are, for the most part, gone. This unfairly puts the heavy financial and labor burden of those large endeavors on the shoulders of those who did not enjoy the camaraderie of the earlier efforts.' Please join Alice and Centerline Dressage at the last Show of the season on September 18. The prize list can be downloaded from http://www.centerlinedressage.com/downloads.html. |
