Dear CSHSRA/CJHRA Members,
I would like to address some of the comments posted on Facebook this last week on behalf of the CSHSRA/CJHRA Board. We as a Board understand that we cannot satisfy everyone within our association on all decisions that are made. There will always be some that are impacted in a negative way and we apologize for everyone impacted by those decisions. We try to make decisions based on safety, fairness, and what is best for the majority of our association. Sometimes we make decisions that end up not being favorable but we learn from them and focus on improving them for the future. The board always has our contestants best in mind!
The decision to move the Reined Cow Horse and Cutting to Rifle is a sound decision and one we have been working on for the past two years. This board has by far, the most representation for the Working Cow Horse/Cutting industry of any past board. We lean heavily on those within our board to direct the rest of us who aren’t as experienced in these events to learn the small details such as animal health and welfare, arena size, footing, cattle, times, etc.
We are grateful to the Town of Craig for hosting our State Finals and believe the Craig Fairgrounds are some of the best facilities within our State. However, if we were to get heavy rain in Craig, it would be extremely dangerous for our Working Cow Horse contestants. In Rifle, we will be able to hold these events in the indoor arena, which is more favorable in size, as well as the arena conditions. This is a decision that many of the competitors in these events support.
The board encourages constructive criticism but on a personal note, I would encourage not using Facebook or any other social media to do so. My phone number and email, as well as the rest of the members of the Adult Board, are always available to all of you through our website. Please continue to use the website for all current and up-to-date information regarding our association.
Thank you & Happy New Year!
Jack Beach
