Update on Rhiannon Deremo Back in July, at the Road Runner show, we were lucky enough to win gift certificates to Travelers Tack. We pooled our wins together and had nearly $200 to spend. So, at the December show, Travelers Tack was invaded by Michele F., Kelley L., and Sydney who shopped for us. The end result: As of a text update from mom, Linda on 12/10/14: Rhiannon continues to improve… she started driving this week, so feeling hopeful. She continues to get IV therapy daily.

All American Cup Champs Results November @ WestWorld TEAM ROYAL SALUTE: Chery Brock & Ben Diana Vance & Ali Baloo Maddy Jahns & Magic Miho Schoettker & Rumba Paula Nelson & Victor and Oliver Susan Girard & Chico Prizes given at this show were gift certificates to Zia Graphics, which had to be spent at the show. This is always a challenge for those of us who show until the very end of the day. Anyway, problem solved, a lot of Team Royal Salute pooled their certificates together, which in turn bought horse show t-shirts for Juval - who always works his tail off during the shows! Also, the group was able to buy Hugo a shirt - who takes care of everything on 53rd street while we are gone! Thank you, everyone! Very generous! RESULTS (DRESSAGE): • Susan and Chico made their debut at 2nd level and qualified for Regionals. • Paula and Victor made their debut as a team at “Intro” and won their class. • Christina and Beauty were first-time dressage competitors at training level and came home with a 1st & 4th.

And the millions of dressage tests there are!” ~ Lily M. • “If the dressage judge scores a 7 or lower on a movement, they have to give a comment.” ~ Katie H. • “It’s ALL about the bridle!” ~ Kelley L. • “It’s important to know how to braid, and braid well!” ~ Grace G. & Lily • “It’s important to remember your test and know how to braid!” ~ Christina • “Learning to help in the “kitchen” and stand at the halfway point between barn and arenas… you will catch the group going in the right direction”. ~ Sue • “When unloading the trailer on Monday mornings, it might be a good idea to bring mimosas!” ~ Lauren THANK YOU, SHOW VOLUNTEERS! THANK YOU Tracy Alkin Sally Clow Carol Parsons Karen Robertson Cheryl Brock Kristi Doyle Sheryl Spohn Pat Hedrick Les Hans Ann Kerr Lorre McGee Susan Girard Paula Nelson Katie Harmon Jamie Pferffer Grace Jodi & Abbie Ganahl You were all fabulous volunteers. Thank you so much making the show run so well. Bruce Johnson Sport Horse Manager/Fearless Leader Diann Wuttke Volunteer Coordinator Incredible Show - Incredible Volunteers! I just wanted to take the time to thank each of the MANY Royal Salute Volunteers whose enthusiasm and professionalism helped make the initial Desert Classic one of the best shows I have been associated with. Despite the rain that fell on Thursday that closed all of WestWorld's outdoor rings, everyone pitched in to make the necessary changes to ensure all the exhibitors were able to show their horses in dry conditions on a level playing field. And a special thank you to those of you who responded with a smile on Thursday morning when I announced we needed to move jumps out of the muck that was formerly Ring 5. It was done smoothly and safely and we got things up and running for our jumping exhibitors without impacting the afternoon's 1:00 PM start time! We had 311 horses entered this year, down a little from last year's 341 but definitely a success in this day and age! More importantly was how wholeheartedly the volunteers contributed to the smooth running of the show! The judges noticed and were suitable impressed! And a special thank you to Diann Wuttke for her efforts to line up the volunteers in such a timely fashion. I was able to mail the complete list to Show Manager Cindy Reid three weeks before the show to let her know we were ready for another great show! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Royal Salute team do so well at the show, whether competing in Jumping, Sport Horse Under Saddle, Sport Horse in Hand or Dressage. Thank you again for the superb support of the Desert Classic! Bruce Johnson
