Welcome to the new home of ETTPA in Henderson, Texas.

 Here is a letter from our president:

August 12, 2010

 

To the members and friends of ETTPA,

 

This past weekend reminded me that this is a team sport. John McLain had informed me earlier in the week that he was bringing fresh cattle. He did not disappoint. The cattle put the team back in Team Penning and Team Sorting. When all was said and done it was a very good show. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. We also had ten new members join us.

 

I am pleased to announce that the board has chosen Jey’s Saddlery to make our saddles again this year. We will be awarding 3 Top Hand Saddles, and 8 Class Saddles. Good news! We have had a saddle donated for the Youth Penning Class. So this year there will be 12 very happy members at the Award Ceremony as a member can only win one saddle.

 

I would like to thank our Saddle Sponsors for 2010.

We are planning for a big finals with added money in each adult class, and a lot of very nice prizes. There are only 2 shows left before the finals. Make sure you are qualified in all the classes in which you wish to compete.

 

A CHANGE OF RULES:

The Board has changed the Open Penning Class to an All Draw with a 3 Ride minimum. A rider can also draw up to 5 times.

 

If you have any question please call me or Brett. We will be glad to help.

 

See you September 4.

 

Rick Hudman, President ETTPA
