The Horse For Everyone! ™
From the AMHA Office - November
Cooler temperatures are finally reaching Texas! We hope you are enjoying a wonderful fall with your increasingly wooly minis. As we head towards the end of the year, don't forget to register your 2020 foals, DNA your sires and dams, and send in your 2020 Stallion Breeding Reports. Be sure to watch the Annual Meeting page for reservation forms, meeting schedules, etc. They will all be posted soon. Our transition to the new software is tentatively scheduled for mid-November. We are so appreciative of the members who generously donated to the Development Fund. We still need donations!! Please contact any BOD or the office to donate. Here is the Development/Software Sponsorship Form.
