Invitation to MHCE annual meeting & yearly banquet 2007
November the 17th 2007 at the Café Zaal 't Vossenhol
Onze Lieve Vrouwestraat 43 - 5423 SJ Handel - the Nederlands
Another year has now almost ended, and the board of MHCE is therefore inviting you and your family to join us at our annual meeting and banquet.
We start the meeting at 16:00 and we invite you to participate in the discussion about the future in MHCE. What do you want from your club? How can we improve? What would you like to learn more about?
The banquet starts at 18:30 with dinner and after that we want to honour our High Point winners and our Geldings with some great gifts!
2007 has been a year with growth among our supporters, and four shows on our calendar.
Unfortunately we have not been able to have clinics like the previously years, but this will be planned for 2008.
We have already planned a grooming and training clinic in Austria in the end of April, in hope to help and encourage all our supporters in the Eastern parts of Europe.
We are also planning a driving clinic, to help people getting started on driving with their horses.
We will also be able to add a fifth show to the show schedule, and this show will be held in Austria last weekend of May.
At this moment we have received a very interesting and kindly offer from the French Miniature Horse Association (AFCM), who is ready to make one of their shows a part of the MHCE High Point System!
The show will be in Deauville on the 5th and 6th of July. We are very exited about this.
About the High Point System (HPS): This year has unfortunately not been as successful as last year, and we at the board have only ourselves to blame. We have not been advertising enough for this great way to gain points, and become an HPS-Winner of the year and in that way get a possibility to promote your farm and horses as big winners!
Next year we will have 6 shows all with HPS classes, and with the growth of shows and participators, the HPS will be even more attractive! So remember to sign up before the 2008 show season begins…
The classes that is included in the Open and AMHA HPS for the 2008 season is:
Yearling mares and colts, Two-year-old mares and stallions, Senior mares and stallions, Geldings, Hunter, Halter Obstacle, Country Pleasure Driving, Single Pleasure Driving and Liberty.
We truly hope that the supporters of MHCE will continue to be involved in our organisation and we are looking forward to meet all of you at the annual meeting & the banquet in November.
Program for the day:
16:00 - 18:30 Annual Meeting
18:30 Dinner & Yearly banquet

AMHA World Show 2007
The World show in Texas was a Huge success for the European people. A lot of MHCE supporters were at the show, and the European owned horses had a lot of success. On the picture below you see 3 MHCE supporters that did very good - showing horses in the amateur classes. They got in total 3 Reserve Grand Champion titles and 3 Grand Champion titles during the show.
Congratulations to all our supporters with the good results.
