3.1.08: A message from president, Gwen Marshall

"I would like to welcome everyone back to another wonderful PA season!

We have again seen many changes over the winter - some sad and some good. The good news is that we will be staying at Avon Hills for the next five years! Remember to thank Rick and Marlys Backes for their hospitality if you see them around the barn this season. We had a wonderful time at the party they hosted for volunteers and riders last fall. They were kind enough to hitch up their Haflingers and take volunteers and riders on a wagon ride around their beautiful property. A good time was had by all!

We also had another successful photo shoot for Christmas card pictures with a PA horse again this year. The horses were posing pretty for their big day and participants and volunteers were pleased with their photos.

Sadly, we lost one of our favorite horses on Thanksgiving 2007. Jondalar was our fuzzy Norwegian Fjord who was everybody's favorite. he will sadly be missed by instructors, participants and volunteers. Thank you Jondalar for your wonderful service to PA!

We are all looking forward to another great year!

Thank you in advance to all volunteers new and old! Thank you to all of the local businesses and private donors who continue to support PA with their charitable donations, we wouldn't be here without you!"
