APRIL 2012


FMS I One of the highlights of


my weekend was meeting a young girl named Katlyn Schaer. She attended the Cavalia performance in Portland, Oregon late last year and wrote about her experience. It brought back memories of being a horse-crazy teenager. If you haven’t read her story, “Touched by Cavalia,” in the February issue I encourage you to check it out (www.nwhorsesource.com). By the time this issue is in the stands I will have completed two

more events in March: the Lower Mainland Quarter Horse Associa- tion Show in Langley, BC and the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo in Albany, OR. I always enjoy connecting with readers and advertisers and appreciate everyone who takes the time to stop by. We will also be venturing to Alaska for the Great Alaska Horse Expo in June. Hope to see some of you! In this issue we feature the Western States Horse Expo. This is


a great event in California; don’t miss out on the opportunity to learn and connect with other horse people.


Remember to have fun with your horse!


From My Saddle


Equine Events by Karen Pickering, NWHS Publisher Horse Activities in Full Swing


lost my mom over a month ago; she was 93 years old. These recent expos bring back fond memories of traveling to equine events with her. She was my biggest supporter over the years and a big


part of the reason I kept the magazine going through diffi cult times. I’m just returning from the Washington State Horse Expo, which


took place February 17-19 in Ridgefi eld, WA. I had the privilege of riding in clinics with Raye Lochert and Barb Apple. Everyone has a different way of presenting and I fi nd it gives me a fresh perspective with my own horse, April.
