NMAWHC presents the
NMAWHC ANNA BAYS SHOW SCHEDULE ON JULY 4th and 5th at
FLINTFIELDS – Home of Horse Shows by the Bay (HSBTB)
We are pleased to invite you to our July 4th &
5th Anna Bays Show at Flintfields in Williamsburg, Michigan.
Please know that we treasure our relationships with you -- our friends,
families, horse buddies and new acquaintances! We have met great
and talented people, seen exceptional horses, and certainly experienced
love, support and teamwork regarding our Anna Bays show series over
the years. We also know that our successes are greatly because of
you. Therefore, we want you to know that we are listening to your
needs and concerns.
Please know that we welcome everyone to our second show weekend
for 2009 as a continuation of the Anna Bays show series. We are
especially honored to kick off the holiday weekend and the HSBTB
multi-week show series!
As you know, HSBTB is a world class facility. Excitedly, we all
have the opportunity to experience the grounds that are designed
to encourage exceptional horse performance! We are pleased that
our club has been invited to this fantastic facility not only as
a measure to build the horse community of northern Michigan, but
also to “give back” to the community and to “promote
an exceptional horse and family environment”.
The details are listed below. So, please accept our many thanks
for participation and support in the future of horse showing!
ARRIVAL:
First of all, please don’t be shy. Everyone is welcome whether
you are a member of the NMAWHC or HSBTB or any club.
The NMAWHC is in the NONPROFIT business of forming relationships
and supporting the horse community! Please look us up at www.nmawhc.com.
When you arrive at Flintfields on Bates Road, you will enter at
the South gate. HSBTB has scheduled support staff to help us with
the organization of this event. Therefore, we have been informed
that you will check in with Judy. She will have your barn and stall
assignments. In order to better facilitate organization, we would
appreciate it if you could pre-order your stalls. Contact Danielle
at (231) 409-6048 regarding stall orders. If you can not pre-order
your stalls, don’t worry… as last minute decisions are
acceptable!
Once you enter, please drive around the barns and unload your horse
and tack. (Watch for signs that says, “UNLOAD HERE PLEASE”).
Once you have unloaded, you will exit by the North gate and park
across the street in Chuck’s trailer parking lot. (Watch for
a NMAWHC sign that says, “NMAWHC – PLEASE CAMP or PARK
HERE”).
We are excited about the conveniences available including: washracks,
water, and manure dump areas at the south end of each barn.
STALLS:
Ben has been assigned as our stable manager, and his office is in
the farm house located to the left of the south gate. He will assist
you if you have any problems or questions with the stables.
Horse and tack stalls are available at $20 per day which is the
same as you have paid at the fairgrounds. Remarkably, if you show
in the local series on Friday, July 3rd, the weekend package rate
for Friday, Saturday and Sunday is $50 per stall. Information about
the Friday show can be obtained at www.horseshowsbythebay.com.
WHEN TO ARRIVE:
You may also haul in Thursday afternoon and still receive the package
rate of $50 per stall as long as you show in the local series on
Friday.
Sawdust is available on site by the HSBTB team for purchase of $10.00
per bag. If you preorder your sawdust, HSBTB staff will place your
bags at your stalls when you arrive. You are welcomed to bring your
own sawdust if you prefer. HSBTB and NMAWHC require stalls to be
stripped at the end of the weekend. A refundable $10 cleaning fee
(to be refunded after stalls are checked at the end of the show)
will be added to your stall fee. This amount will need to be payable
to NMAWHC and will be applied to your open check or initial cash
entry.
HSBTB has opened their “pull in show rate” to accommodate
our showing needs. Should you decide to show out of your trailer,
there will be a $10 per horse or $15 per trailer haul in fee each
day. “Haul-in” trailers and horses must leave the show-grounds
at the end of each show day, Marty will assist you in parking. Regarding
“pull in show trailers”, there will probably only be
room for 20 to 25 trailers. Therefore, Marty will make sure we maximize
the space available for all those interested in hauling in.
If you intent to only stay part of the day, please inform Marty,
upon arrival, so he can place you accordingly.
Again, we would appreciate your helping by reserving your stalls
early. Therefore, please call Danielle at (231) 409-6048 by Wednesday,
July 1, 2009, in order to facilitate the placement of all horses.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ginny (231)642-7621
or Kris at (231)218-8239.
We look forward to seeing you at the show and experiencing the difference
of HSBTB and the NMAWHC. We can’t wait for you to be a part
of the ANNA BAYS MEMORIAL SHOW SERIES this year!
Also, in order for our club to improve our services to the equine
community, please don’t hesitate to provide feedback, suggestions,
and cudos to Deb at debcochran@hotmail.com. Our Club wants your
participation and membership, as well as, your support for future
events.
Best wishes for a successful show season!
