Horse Show Volunteers Rock!

On behalf of the show participants and the AEER Club we’d like to give special recognition to the following people and families who put in many hours to help make the August Shows happen.

Shawn, Kathy, and Haley Rampelberg for wearing many hats and doing a variety of jobs too numerous to mention but some of which included, set up and take down of jumps and the dressage arena, show announcing, providing the dressage tests, tabulating test results, hauling the show trailer, and constantly cleaning up horse manure.  Shawn deserves special recognition for keeping Andy the cat safe from getting trampled in the show ring and Kathy for spending her 29^th Birthday on Sunday donating her time to AEER.

Sara, Joslin, and Brad Forness.  Sara for always being there to do whatever job needed doing without complaint and to Joslin for helping and being so cute on and off her pony, and to Brad for working behind the scenes and providing muscle with show clean up at the end when we needed him the most.

Shelley Johnsen for being such a gracious hostess and letting AEER use her awesome facility for the show weekend.

Diane Hesse for hosting our wonderful judge Laurie and for doing such a great job scribing all day Sunday.

Annette, Perry, and Annise Montplaisir for helping with jump course set up and take down and for handling ribbons and the gate.

Much thanks to Aileen Horne for helping with registration on Saturday.  Special thanks to Gordy for always being there to help with set up and take down.  Thanks to Dominic for bringing Rachael to share with us her graceful and beautiful riding style and ability.

We would be remiss if we didn’t mention our terrific AEER Board and Committee members who helped plan and make the show happen.  Thanks to Rick Carik for coming to show his support despite the death of a relative.  Thanks to Nikki Dauk Holmes for coordinating the volunteer show vouchers and Tracy Tschakert for designing the jump courses and Haley for getting them ready for the judge.  Thanks to Club Treasurer Andrea Siebel for depositing the show checks and monies and for providing some of the prize items.

Thanks to Terrie Hart Dahl for being part of the planning committee and placing ads in the green section.  Virginia and Megan Stockburger for helping take down the jump course and for setting up the dressage arena and for everything else they did.

Thanks to Becca Baldwin for being a member of the Planning Committee and engaging friends and family to help with  set up and take down and to do other jobs they normally wouldn’t be asked to do.

Thanks to Julie Cardwell for her work as co-chair of the Planning Committee and for being Lori’s sidekick.

And finally special thanks to Lori Krause for being brave enough to take on the job as Show Coordinator.  Lori has brought so much to the table already with her organizational skills and abilities and we appreciate her willingness to put in hours above and beyond the call of duty.

If we’ve missed anyone please accept our apologies. We know there were many of you who stepped up willingly to help with the show.  We know we’ve missed a few people to thank especially those who were there to set up the jump course and the dressage arena.  As usual, many hands make light work!  Thanks again to everyone who helped, and to everyone who participated in the show and of course, to everyone who came out to watch and cheer the riders on.   Stay tuned we’ve got more to come!
