*REGIONAL REPORTS*

Region 1 (Tracy Eilers)
No report

******
Region 2 (Tom Dean)

One show to report for October, The will it or won't it, new venue, new date rendition of BreyerWest was held Oct 21-22 in the Cow Palace in Daly City (SF area). Ably hosted by Victoria Zannutto, both the show and the hobby demonstrations were enjoyed by those in attendance.
Next up, the Region 2 Champ show in Visalia on November 12-13.

******
Region 3 (Pauline Entin)

October was a quiet month in Region 3, with just one show - the OSC Open Performance Show on October 15th in Tucson. I was not able to attend this show, but I admire all the avid performance showers! Next up is Tucson Mountain Live on November 12th in Tucson. I look forward to seeing many R3 showers there. Meanwhile, the showing season up in Colorado has slowed down for winter. Like the Northeast, we've already had our first snow in Region 3, in both Colorado and Arizona. (Yes it snows where I live in Arizona!) In other news in R3, Arizona showers were disappointed to hear that the Pima Inn, host location for many Phoenix, AZ shows in the past, is eliminating the show hall room. Finding a suitable show space that is affordable is one of the greatest challenges to holding a show. Fortunately, in home (or barn) shows have gained popularity in recent years. Finally, congratulations to current VP and previous multi-term R3 rep Teresa Buzzell on becoming a home owner!

******
Region 4 (Carra McClelland)

October was a busy month for me, and I am sure it was for a lot of other folks in the region as well, especially the good folks that held the World Clydesdale Show All Draft Model Horse show in Madison, WI!

November has the following shows:

November 5, 2011: Spirit Horse Live All Mini Show in Omaha, NE
November 12, 2011: Dream Acres Live Model Show in Parkersburg, IA
November 19, 2011: Crystal Creek Riders Double Judged Halter & Collector Show in Randolph, WI.

Thank you to you brave showholders who are putting them on at the beginning of snow season!

******
Region 5 (Lyn Norbury)

October started off with a bang in Region 5 with Spookie Okie Live hosted by Jacklyn Catena on the 1st in OKC. What a fun and fast paced show that was! I found it a real pleasure to attend and show. Thanks, Jacklyn!

On the 15th we had Model Horse Expo Live hosted by Jessica Geer in Wichita Falls, Tx. That one proved to be another one to mark on my calendar for next year. We all had a great time! Thanks, Jessica!

October 22-23 brought us Cajun Country Live in Vinton, La. hosted by Jennifer Moore. I could not make it to this one, but was told it was a huge blast of Cajun hospitality, fun, good home cookin'-Cajun style, and of course lots of top notch horses on the show tables. Thanks, Jennifer!!

That was it for October, what a busy month for the model horse show world! Gearing up to head to Greenbriar, AR this weekend for Mid-Ark, hosted by Tracy Rogalla.

******
Region 6 (Jackie Moore)

Hello All!
The first Saturday in October saw the 24th annual Southern Model Horse Convention, hosted by Laura Behning at her picturesque Brookridge Morgans farm in Covington, GA. It was a beautiful day (although a bit chilly!) filled with beautiful horses, both model and living. This is always a very fun and relaxed show with great competition, and this year was no exception. We all had a great time!

Region 6 is now gearing up for Peach State Live in Gainesville, GA on Nov 5, and Rockin' Redneck Roundup Live in Kissimmee, FL on Nov 26.

******
Region 7 (Stacy Faraci)

October brought Region 7 the ever popular Quarter Horse Congress show! I wasn't lucky enough to attend but all reports stated that it was an amazing time! I'll be planning for next year for sure! November rounds out the year for us with Tristate Live in Maumee, OH and Miami Valley Live All Mini's in Lewisburg Ohio. Then it's time to start planning for 2012!

Happy Thanksgiving!
