Hello,
Just wanted to pass along about a Pleasure Show here in Michigan. The Metamora Carriage and Driving Association in Metamora, Michigan will be the host of a Pleasure Carriage and Driving Show on July 20-22, 2007. Metamora is located in the rolling countryside approximately 50 miles north of Detroit. The show will take place on a beautifully manicured and maintained farm, called Squeaky Wind Mill.
This will be an ADS sanctioned, full schedule show with classes for horses, ponies, VSE and hopefully four-in-hands. This will be a two and a half day show with dressage on Friday and ring classes on Saturday and Sunday. The showgrounds will be open two days prior to the event with all participants encouraged to drive the beautiful trails in and around the show site.
Stabling will be available at the showgrounds with a number of hotels, motels and restaurants in the area.
The Metamora Carriage and Driving Association has for many years, hosted a nationally recognized CDE, and now hopes our first Pleasure Driving Show will be equally successful.
We are working hard to determine the interest from individual clubs and numbers of anticipated participants. We are not asking for a commitment, but rather trying to determine show needs. We ask you to present this information to your club membership and let us know how many of your members might attend. Many people have expressed a need for another mid-west pleasure show and we think our club will do an excellent job. Please watch for our ads.
We are hoping for a big turnout of VSE's, so please pass this along to anyone who might be interested. Unfortunately, at this time they do not offer a VSE division for their CDE, but we are hoping with a big turnout at their Pleasure Show, they might offer it in the future.
Thank You!
Nikki

Ohhhhhh, I want to come play in your sandbox too. Just way too far away. Make a big success of this one, and maybe in a year or two there will be enough interest in your area you can get something started in the southwestern Michigan area that those of us in Illinois and Indiana that are unable to travel too far or be gone from home to long would be able to go to. Hope it's a HUGE success, and I will want pictures on the Forum to drool over.
