Subject: Fwd: Coggins, Sponsorships, Horse Fairs!

We are so excited to be going to Illinois Horse Fair in just 8 short days!
I had almost forgotten about the coggins that needs to be drawn!  Just a
remeinder that Illinois does not require a calendar year coggins like
Wisconsin does - Wisconsin law states a horse's coggins must be dated
January 1 - December 31.

In Illinois, I believe a coggins test is good for either six or 12
consecutive months, even if it goes into another calendar year.  Missouri
law is different again.

Just to be on the safe side, ASAP likes to have coggins done in January or
February so it is good for the entire traveling/riding season.

Look for ASAP as we demonstrate in the coliseum on both Saturday and
Sunday, along with the harness racers!

Our next venue won't occur until a month later, in Iowa, demonstrating
alongside the Iowa Harness Horseman's Association for our 12th year! Iowa
Horse Fair is a very laid back fair with tons of great shopping.

Our last horse fair will be in Madison for Midwest Horse Fair.  Look for
ASAP as we sit alongside Mary Ellen Miller who is doing clinics on grief
and our pets!  We will be keeping warm inside the coliseum.  I must say
that this is the most busy horse fair, and most stressful in terms of
being able to move around and not feel pushed and shoved....but it is also
where we see so many adopters and friends from over the years!

We are seeking sponsorships to assist with price of diesel fuel to get to
Springfield, IL and Des Moines, IA.  Graciously, IaHHA has offered to pay
lodging for us while at Iowa Horse Fair - thank you!  Len Cummins and his
wife have graciously paid our stall space and demo costs for IL Horse Fair
- they are former original owners of Mc Dominant!!!!  Lodging and diesel
are still astronomical, though, but we feel it very important that the
state of Illinois has Standardbred representation and harness racing
representation.  John Cisna of ISOBA used to take care of ASAP every year
for over a decade, but since his death we have been on our own in terms of
carrying the full costs to be in Springfield.

See you at horse fair!  If you want to demonstrate in either Illinois or
Iowa, please let Sue know!!!
