We would like to thank everyone that came to the STA Annual Meeting. We had a good turnout, plenty of food, and we want to thank David Rigdon for the fabulous job on the smoked meat.
We discussed the challenges in 2022 including the low number of people riding and attending workdays and what can we do to get members to participate. Some riders relayed that the rides are too fast if gaited horses are leading. We can divide up into two groups (slow and fast) if we have enough participating. You can also call the ride leader to find out the speed of the ride. Other members said they need to know well in advance if there is a ride. The destination does not need to be determined, just a date so they can put it on their calendar. Nancy Stephens motioned that STA have a ride on the third Saturday of each month, and the location will be determined as the date gets closer. If the ride needs to be canceled, it is at the discretion of the ride leader to either assign a new date or cancel the ride completely. It was seconded by Pam Freeman and the motion carried.
