Coordinator <br />Ramsey Municipal Center <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Dear' Ms. McAloney: <br /> <br />I am ';nterested in a position on the Horse Care Commission. <br />1 am an avid horse enti3usiast; my family lives on a 40 acre <br />hobby farm ~'ith 6 (or so) horses at the address noted below. <br />We are informally known as "Harmony Farms." I am enclosing a <br />sketch of our horse facilities as required by the new <br />ordinance. Along with a lifelong interest in horses and a <br />recreational riding and showing career~ my horse-related <br />credentials include: <br /> <br />Three Rivers Pony Club <br />This is a relatively young organization (serving Anoka <br />County in its defined geographical area) which fosters <br />the safe &educaLional development of young riders. My <br />daughter is a rated rider~ and I am serving as Education <br />Coordinator for this Pony Club. <br /> <br />Minnesota Trail Riders Association <br />I have been a member of this organization since 1979, <br />which represents over 1000 horse-owning families across <br />the state. Since 1988, I have also served as a director <br />in the MTRA~ and in 1990, served as the chair for the <br />MTRA's Horse Expo 90 booth. <br /> <br />Minnesota Hunter-Jumper Association <br />Also a state-wide organization, I have been a member <br />since 1975. During the period from 1979-1984 I authored <br />a column in their newsletter called "Everyday Horselife" <br />which addressed various topics on horse management. <br /> <br />My personal horse activities have centered around horse- <br />camping, recreational trailriding, and hunter-jumper <br />horseshows. I completed a credited course at tl~e <br />University of Minnesota in 1977 from the veterinary <br />medicine department entitled "Care, Management, Showing, <br />and Diseases of Horses, and have remained reasonably <br />up-to-date on curre~]t horse related periodicals and <br />books. I am a member of Video Rider, which is a <br />subscription horse video rental service. Over the <br />years, I believe ] have developed a functional network <br />with local horse industry support professionals. <br /> <br />My interest in this Commission stems from a concern for <br />improving the education of the_~e ~ neral horse-owning._ public. <br /> <br /> <br />
