Keystone Appaloosa Club

Happy New Year!!!! WELCOME 2020 The beginning of a new year brings with it reflections on the past year and thoughts about our goals for the

year to come. The KAC board hopes that you fulfilled your 2019 goals and look forward to watching you

journey toward your 2020 goals!

KAC looks forward to bringing you great events for you to participate in with your Appaloosa and your

Appaloosa family. As a brief primer, we are looking forward to our banquet in February, our spring clinic in

March and then the start of the show season with our annual show in May. We will again be collaborating

with the GEAR show in 2020 as well.

We are always on the look out for new ways to promote our appaloosas and new events we can bring to our

members. If you have any ideas, we would love to hear about them. We also ALWAYS love to hear any news

about you and your horses.

Don’t forget to continue to check out our Facebook page and website, www.kacapps.com, for any forms or

paperwork you may need.

Awards Banquet February 8. 2020 at the Hollywood Casino

It’s that time of year again! In order to make sure that you get all of the

news from KAC as well as all of your points from showing, get your

membership forms in as soon as you can.

Individual members are $20.00. Youth members are $15.00 and a

family membership is $30.00. Our membership gives you access to

KAC information and events. It also allows you to be eligible to

accumulate points (with additional points application) for both year

end awards and regional World Show qualification.

We are focusing this year on ways to bring more events to our members

and are always open to hearing your feedback. Our goal is to provide

value to our members and do more than hold a horse show. Please let

us know what types of events you would like to see for our members

and we will see what we can do!

ANNUAL BANQUET

2020 MEMBERSHIP AND POINTS ELIGIBILITY

Our 2019 awards banquet will be

held on February 8, 2020 at 6

pm. Each year we gather to

celebrate the achievements of our

competitors at the Hollywood

Casino at Penn National Race

Course.

Our event starts with hors

d’oeuvres and social hour. The

next event is a great meal fol-

lowed by the awards presentation.

The KAC general membership

meetings is also held at this time.

A new event for this year’s

banquet will be our awarding of

the first annual 4-H scholarship

award for the highest placing

English and Western Exhibitors

at the State 4-H show.

If you have never been to the

banquet, please consider joining

us. The banquet hall enjoys an

amazing view of the race horse

paddock as well as the horse

racing. You can check your skill

at picking a winner by watching

them get ready in the paddock.

Who knows, you may walk away

with a little money in your pocket

from the races as well as having a

great time with your Appaloosa

friends.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Not long after Arturo left us for the 2019 clinic, we were already received requests for him to

return in 2020 to give another clinic.

Join us in March as either a rider or auditor. Saturday will have two sessions, beginner and

advanced trail. Sunday morning’s session will be showmanship and the afternoon session will

be horsemanship. He will also be available for a limited number of private lessons that will be

available on a first come first served basis.

We asked Arturo to come last year based on his exceptional show record in the Appaloosa and

Paint Horse arenas. What we didn’t know is that, in addition to being a successful competitor,

he is also an exceptional teacher. If you were with us last year, you know that he does a great

job in helping youth and non-pro students make improvements and work better with their

horses.

The clinic will again be held at Willow Brook Farms in Northampton, Pennsylvania. There are

stalls available for those riders who may

wish to either come Friday night or who

are riding in multiple sessions on the

weekend. There are also camper hook ups

available for those of you who wish to stay

in your trailer.

Get a jump start on your 2020 show

season by attending and learning some

new skills.

The registration form is on our Facebook

page as well as in the back of this

newsletter.
