Deep Dixie members did an awesome job this year. 
We ran hard, had fun, and graciously turned over the torch to
Coastal Plains Association.

Jim would be so proud of everyone. 
He truly believed in Sportsmanship and often said it was just as important to learn how to win as learning how to lose.  For those that were not there when the Trophies were presented - Sherry Johns accepted the Overall High Point trophy from Robert Pridgen - ending Deep Dixie's 9 year reign as Overall Champions.  Although they have picked at each other for many years, Sherry was sincerely gracious
and stated that Coastal Plains members wanted to Thank Deep Dixie members for making them better riders and competitors. 
"You are only as good as your competition"   
She presented Robert with a Participation Trophy and made him an "Honorary Member of Coastal Plains Association"

Way to go Deep Dixie team - You are all Winners !

The Spring Federation Meeting is set for
Sunday, March 4, 2012 @ 1:00 PM
Hoof and Horn Room, Perry Fairgrounds

All Associations should have their votes for Proposals



The Fall Federation meeting was held Sunday, November 13, 2011
at the Hoof and Horn Room, Perry Fairgrounds

Georgia Mountain Association President David Reed thanked everyone for all their help during the 2011 State Show.  An updated financial report was provided by Kathy Powers and the gavel was turned over to Flint River Association President David Morrision Host Club for the upcoming 2012 show.

Proposals were presented by all Associations, except Deep Dixie - reporting none.  The proposals will be listed on the standard spreadsheet and updated on the Federation website soon.  Each Association is allowed 2 votes at the Spring Meeting (to be held late February or early March).  A vote from Running and Pleasure is entered.

For Deep Dixie local clubs - this means each President should get their club member's vote and present 1 vote for your club back to Robert Pridgen or Cheryl Powell on or before the February 25th show.

If you have problems obtaining the proposal spreadsheet, let Cheryl know.

Additional information from the meeting will be updated on the Federation website.
