Other Horse-related Downloads

Continuing the process of moving non-business related material from our genealogy and local history "dot com" site over here to our "dot org" site, here are two items that continue to get attention, despite the fact that they are fairly old now.

We don't know if people keep looking them up out of morbid curiosity or whether they still have some redeeming social value.  However, if the internet is really supposed to be where all knowledge goes to reside forever and ever, who are we to stand in the way of that laudable purpose?

With that for a preamble, here they are:

In case you want to see (in PDF form) a presentation we gave way back in 1998 to the United State Pony Clubs' national meeting about a topic that was fresh and new then, here is  How to create a website for your individual Pony Club.  Hard to believe just how long ago that really was!  Some of this presentation is quite dated now, but we do think there is some remaining value in the slides about what to avoid putting on a website.  Take a look and see if you agree.

Perhaps you would like to see (in PDF form) a document about how to be a Horse Management Judge that we wrote even before that website presentation, back when we were the first-ever Horse Management Organizer for the New York/Upper Connecticut Region of the USPC.  We recognized that the way Horse Management Judges in that organization were being selected and trained was not working well at that time, and we took a stab at solving the problem.  This article was the result.  It, too, is quite dated, but occasionally someone asks for it, so here it is.

Please note that neither of these documents is an official publication of the United States Pony Clubs, Inc., nor have they been approved or recommended by that fine organization. 

Mounted Games is a sport that is practiced by Pony Club and also by independent organizations devoted to that sport alone, most importantly in the United States by Mounted Games Across America, Inc, also known as MGAA.  The sport is a favorite of ours, and we have a page dedicated to Mounted Games on this website. 

Also at this website we provide links to equestrian sites and facilities in the Northwest Corner of Connecticut.
