Check your PHBA membership card to make sure your NM affiliate membership is current. Only points from shows held in NM count towards the NMPEA Year End High Point Awards; but horses, exhibitors and owners need not reside in NM. The NMPEA annual meeting was held December 13th and a small, but dedicated group, of members set about planning the 2012 year. Officers and National Directors were elected. Tentative dates for a PHBA sanctioned show which will be held in conjunction with a Paint Horse Show is August 18-19 in Stanley, NM. Although the year end awards program does not require participation in this show, double points are earned at this show. More information will follow as plans are finalized for this show. Ed Atler, Lynn Pelletier, Julie Walsh and Donna Overson were the recipients of numerous prizes at the year-end awards banquet in December. Alyssa, a new youth member, also received a special recognition award for showing Julie and Donna's mare, Top N Doc Bar. See the 2011 Awards Banquet page for photos and year end results. The winner of the Breyer model horse of Rising Sun, Elvis Presley's golden Palomino was Chris from Albuquerque's west side. The drawing was made from entries from the NM Horse Council Booth at the Expo NM (NM State Fair) in September 2011. See the 2011 NM State Fair Horse Council Booth for photos. The booth featured information on several famous Palominos: Rising Sun, Mister Ed (from TV fame) and the horse everyone knows, Trigger (the golden Palomino ridden by Roy Rogers). Absolutely Blonde, a 2008 Palomino mare, also greeted the public and was a great hit with young and old alike.
