The MARES Club is a Madison, Wisconsin based equestrian club for women. We meet monthly to participate in a variety of endeavors. We have a membership of over 100 women, so we will continue to grow and act as a resource for horsewomen in the Dane county area. In addition, MARES also puts out a newsletter/email detailing upcoming equestrian related events, news, and resources.
Our membership represents all disciplines so we have a HUGE network and help each other buy and sell, set up leases, teach lessons, do training, haul horses ... you name it, we do it!
We also assist horse people nation-wide with relocation issues, for example, finding a boarding stable; advice on location for specific needs, etc....
Message from Marti
Hello Everyone!
I hope you and your equine friends are staying cool...what weather! As I work on the MARES calendar for 2010-2011, I'm making a few changes: CHANGE IS GOOD!!! This is preliminary info for you: details will be forthcoming. I would GREATLY appreciate any/all input from you regarding process, places, and programs. Looking forward to seeing you all in September...meanwhile, be well.
Many of this year's meetings will be held at local restaurants, where we can share social time as well as enjoy information from speakers. All recomendations for eateries are MOST welcome.
For those of you who own/manage barns, please let me know the feasibility of using your site for a meeting.
"The More, The Merrier" is my motto so, once the Business meeting site and date is available, I encourage you to spread the word to other horse friends and bring them as guests to the meeting.
Dues will stay the same..$25 per year. Students under 18 are welcome for $10. Those fees go to pay honoraria for our speakers, as well as other expenses.
If anyone would like to volunteer a home for a meeting, please let me know.
And, on a personal note, many thanks to all who sent me notes of condolence when my Brazil died. Your caring and love is so appreciated...I felt enveloped by both. I have started looking for a new mount and, thtough she's irreplaceable, I know Brazil would approve. Thanks again.
