Hey everyone... sorry I haven't been on in awhile-- our internet has
been down. I was looking over some of the most recent messages and
since there hasn't been much discussion, I thought I'd comment on the
main issues that Shane has brought up.

The Team Contest sounds like a lot of fun and it sounds like a really
good idea! Is that what they used to have at the World Show or
something?

Equitation classes: Do you mean rail-work only for like state,
regional/classic shows? Because I thought that was how International
was but I could be wrong. It might not be neccesary at state level
(because Ohio shows are small enough that it wouldn't save a lot of
time) but I think that at the Classics and Regionals it would be
nice. I think they only had rail-work for the finalists at the
Eastern Classic-- at least in some classes. But at bigger shows it
would probabley save some time.

Adding days to International: I was wondering when we'd have to
lengthen the International because I've heard that it went pretty
late in 2005 (haven't heard anything about this year) and if POA is
growing then I'm guessing it will eventually be neccesary. I don't
really want it to, since you're already away from home for so long
though.

Well I guess that's about it.... talk to everyone later! *Heidi*
