We are putting together a packet to hand out at our national meeting. Included will be information about ASAV, articles on judging Shagyas and their use in Trakehner breeding, and several other items of interest. If you would like to have your farm, stallion, or sale fliers included, please mail copies to Nancy Skakel. Nancy will put the packets together to hand out to attendees. Thank you for helping to promote our Shagyas!

Nancy Skakel is also organizing the presentation of horses. Please contact Nancy if you would like to bring your horse. Think about how you would like to make your presentation - liberty, in-hand, under saddle, or ? We would like to have as many Shagyas as we can muster for everyone to admire.

Information from the Host: Karen Bish For any of you traveling here for the meeting. The weather here is unpredictable, especially in the Spring. Therefore I would advise you come prepared for anything. Luckily we do have the indoor arena. If there’s anything predictable about high desert weather it’s the unpredictability. Please come prepared!
