[RC] Call for nominations for the AERC Pard'ners Award and equine/memberHall of Fame - Michael Maul

AERC members,

So far - I've only received a few nominations for the Pard'ners Award and for the Hall of Fame horse/member for the 2006 convention in San Antonio.

Nominations will be officially accepted until August 10, 2005. The committee composed of the non-sanctioning regional directors and the present VP will make the selection. I'll accept nominations for a little while after that until the committee meeting on August 28 in the case of special circumstances.

Documentation in the form of letters, photos, and ride records is
helpful in making our selection.  Photos will be returned if so noted.

Please don't send just a name. Committee members may not know the person or equine so the above documentation really helps the nomination.

Nominations can come from any member, including yourself, for the
awards.  Please send them by paper mail to

      Mike Maul
      913 CR 423
      Alvin, TX 77511

or best - by email to mmaul@xxxxxxxxx

There must be some great horses/riders/Pard'ners out there for
nomination.  Please send them to me before Aug 10.  That's only a few
weeks from now.

for inspiration and also to see if the person/equine has already received the award. I've had a few nominations of excellent horses that had already won the award.

************************************************************
Pard'ners Award: Rider and horse perform together as a mutually
bonded team. Rider and horse engender a spirit of friendship,
enthusiasm and championship that makes those around them glad to
have attended the ride. However competitive they may be, good
sportsmanship remains their first priority. Horse and rider take
care of each other. Together horse and rider personify the
prevailing and abiding goal of AERC "To Finish is to Win". This
award was established in honor of the late Mae Schlegel. Selection
is made by nomination and announced at annual Awards Banquet.
Recipient receives keepsake plaque and engraved onto a perpetual trophy.

      This award is kept secret until the annual Awards Banquet.
