I’m back ! My tour and
evaluation of a number of
bay area medical institu-
tions was long and de-
tailed. Due to the fact I
have a ranch I have short-
ened the usual rehabilita-
tion process as my chores
piled up during my ab-
sence. Kidding aside it was
quite an experience that I
do not plan to repeat any-
time in the future ! It was
a busy two months off the
trail and I am quite hap-
pily returning to activities.
I am drafting my report
from the Western States Horse Expo at the
CSHA booth and had an
enjoyable time yesterday
at the State Parade
Awards Luncheon in Liver-
more.
A new tradition has
started in CSHA to award-
ing service pins to Judges
for their years of contrib-
uted to CSHA.
A Special Thanks to
Paulette Webb for orga-
nizing this event with
the assistance of Mark
Overby, Cheri Whipp
and Melony Overby.
Thank You to State Pa-
trol Members Tim &
Lauren West for being
the on-site security at Liv-
ermore Parade and the
luncheon for our parader’s
trailers that day as well as
their Double Duty of pa-
trolling and overseeing
security of the barns and all
horses at the EXPO Friday,
Saturday and Sunday!
Thank You also to those
Royalty members that
participated at the State
Parade and many also
contributed time at the
booth at Horse Expo.
This requires a lot of time
by parents and the youth to
get horses ready as well as
looking their neat & clean
best for CSHA. Many miles
traveled and too little sleep
to accomplish it. Hats off to all those participating
and a Big thank you to
the parents !
Special Thanks to Pam
Purdue for presenting
the Horsemastership
Program at the Horse
Expo for the second
year. She has tirelessly
put together and presented
aspects of the CSHA Horse-
mastership for a segment at
the Expo. This year’s
grooming segment had lots
of interested people and
easily extended from the
original 45 minutes to an
hour and a half. Thank You
Pam for your contribution
to educate the horse com-
munity and highlight the
Horsemastership program.
Now to the Big Thank
You; Cheryl Caldwell re-
designed the CSHA booth
for Horse Expo and made a
wonderful presentation and
representation of the or-
ganization and our pro-
grams ! We secured a high
traffic location this year and
had a really nice time.
There are always many
CSHA members who stop to
say high and we talk to
many who don’t know any-
thing about us.

teered time at Horse

company.
We were joined by Jim Hendricksen, State President, Becky Clinkenbeard, Central Area Vice President, Carolyn
Hendricksen, Region 5 President among other titles, Suzan Cunningham, State Royalty Chair.

Show of Champions 2014
The committee is already ramping up for the October 8-12, State Championship Show of 2014 at Watsonville-
Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds.
Currently the Program chairs are submitting their program information and the schedule is taking shape. We sent
out the “theme” contest with the deadline of July 1 to the Regions and chairmen and will be selecting & announcing
that by Quarterly. Most arrangements and set up will be similar to SOC 2013.
Remember DEADLINE DATES to submit fees and forms.
Stabling/stall Reservation Form Posted: August 15th Deadline.
Preliminary Daily Schedule Posted
Vendor/Advertising/Sponsor forms Posted
Premium book due to be posted before Quarterly
The new Sponsorship Brochure is ready ! It is the coordinated effort to advertise all our Championship Programs for
SOC to any sponsors, offering opportunities for assisting and donating to our program(s). A limited number of booklets
will be available a Quarterly and the form to accompany it is on the Website.
We will need volunteers for on- site jobs as well as pre-event tasks. Please contact me directly to volunteer to assist at
SOC. Any games, contests, keeping the barns and camping organized and running the office are a big part of what
makes SOC run smooth. We need some help for Horsemastership to set up their courses and Royalty with the dinner
& auction. A little time and helping hands can go along why………………
Thanks in advance, it should be a great event !!

THANK YOU to our VOLUNTEERS you are
important to me!
As an all Volunteer organization, many events
would not even take place without them.
But what we need are MORE VOLUNTEERS; -the
load would be so much lighter if shared by many.
Did you know that if you volunteer to help in the
CSHA Booth at EXPO you get free entry?? Let’s not
burn out those volunteers that do this every year--
year in and year out-----give us a few hours of assis-
tance. You might find it fun & getting together for
dinner or the nearby pub can be a fun finish at the
end of the day ……….

Drill Team
The top drill teams from California
congregated at the Diamond Bar
Arena in Ceres May 3rd & 4th for the
CSHA 2014 California State Drill
Team Championships. Teams trav-
eled from as far north as Redding
and from Los Angeles to the south.
2014 is a milestone year marking
the 65th anniversary of the first
California State Drill Team Cham-
pionships put on by CSHA in 1949.
To mark the occasion a special “65th
Anniversary Unified Ride” was held
Saturday evening at the conclusion
of the first day of competition. The
ride was a compilation team con-
sisting of 65 riders representing the
teams competing at the champion-
ships to celebrate the occasion. It
was a remarkable sight to watch as
the team of 65 riders gave a stun-
ning performance after just a brief
two hour practice. Horses & riders
were remarkably well behaved!
Saturday evening was the open di-
vision competition featuring the
Novice, Compulsory and popular
Theme division. Sunday afternoon
the competition took a more serious
turn with the high point short and
long programs that would deter-
mine the State Champion titles.
Sunday concluded with the presen-
tation of awards and crowning of
the champions. The Blue Shadows
from southern California took home
top honors winning the “Grand
Champion” and “Junior Division
Champion” titles for the seventh
consecutive year. “Reserve Overall
Champion” and “Mixed Division
State Champions” was awarded to
the Smokin’ Guns from the San
Ramon Valley. The “Senior State
Champion” title was won by the
Sacramento Sheriff’s 911 team, and
the “Quad State Champion” was
won by the Lucky Clover 4-H. The
CSHA Spring Raffle winners were
drawn by Western Performer
Belinda Gail. Congratulations to
all of the winners!
Now we are gearing up for the Cali-
fornia Coto Cup Competition the
first weekend of August where we
will welcome not only local teams
but also teams from Washington in
California’s most prestigious drill
team event. We would like to invite
CSHA members to join us at the
California Coto Cup on Saturday
evening for a private performance
by Belinda Gail. See the announce-
ment further on in this newsletter!

Judges Commission—”Call The Roll” by Paulette Webb Pathfinder’s Day Parade, Fremont California, circa 1968 – My first parade. No one in my family knew what was to
come when Ginger and I stepped out onto our first parade route - me in my first cowboy hat and new pressed jeans
both bought from Rae over at Rowell Ranch Western Store and Ginger in her Indian hackamore with brand new ropes,
her 1930’s Visalia saddle and a 4 month old filly in tow. My Dad, his brother and I rode in several parades over the
next few years from Castro Valley to Fremont with a side trip to Pleasanton. I imagine that each parade had a judge
but I was totally oblivious to all that. It was just show up, get in line and have a great time.
All that changed in 1973 at the Rowell Ranch Rodeo Parade in Hayward (yes, it was held in Hayward alternately back
in the day). Somehow I got judged and won third place. Mary Medeiros, the judge, told me my mare was too old for a
hackamore and to put her in a bridle. Unfortunately, she didn’t tell me the snaffle came in between. Lucky me for me
9 year old Ginger was a kind soul and I survived he transition.
I became more aware of the Parade Program and judges when my cousin-in-law, Jackie Auguadro, got involved in the
Fancy Parade Horse and Parade Horse classes and a friend of mine began dating the daughter of CSHA judge Al
Darnell in the mid-1970s. Since that time, I’ve had the privilege to rider under, work with and be a peer to a long list
of judges. There were days when I wanted to strangle any number of them. I can truthfully say, however, that I re-
spected the judging ability of each of them and benefited from the “improvement tips” that came my way beginning
with that first one from Mary, as well as all the help they gave me during my quest to become a CSHA Parade Judge.
Some of these judges have moved on to other activities, others have retired or are now deceased. And some are still
with us. Speaking as a former parader, I feel that the standards set by each of these judges have made each of us just
a little bit better. In acknowledgment of the contributions of the CSHA Parade Judges to the State Parade Program
and to CSHA, I would like to “call the roll” of those judges…if you know of anyone I missed, let me know.

A Look Back—The Making of CSHA
Don’t expect a story about all those
men who gathered in 1942 to
“invent” CSHA. Don’t expect a story
about how long it took us to have a woman Region President, let alone
eventually get a woman State Presi-
dent. Don’t expect a story about high
points or the creation of a new pro-
gram. CSHA was “made” in 1942
and has evolved, been re-designed and “re-made” innumerable times
over the ensuing years.
I was reading some old copies of the
New Horsemen that I had stashed
away in a credenza one afternoon and came across the November 1992
issue, when Julie Morin was the edi-
tor. I would like to share with you
the editorial that Julie wrote for that
issue.
“I have of late been plagued by a
common, communicable disease in
CSHA called VBO or Volunteer
Burnout. It seems that my life had
begun to evolve around my volun-
teerism with CSHA.
I first got involved in this organiza-
tion because one of my daughters
decided she wanted to show horses.
Little did I know what it would be
like to be a “Horse Show Mother.” I also had no idea what it would mean
to become a member of an association
like CSHA. But today, some ten
years later, that daughter is the
mother of two youngsters and has
little free time to ride and I sit here at
my computer, facing a wall filled with
Certificates of Appreciation, Certifi-
cates of Office, some plaques and a gavel – all of which bring back some
fond memories.
Last month at the Show of Champions
I stood watching the riders in the
Grand Entry as they came into the
arena full of enthusiasm and their excitement and expectation filled the
air. A lady standing next to me
smiled and asked “Which one is ours?”
At that moment I knew why I had
volunteered so many years, even after my own children had temporarily left
the association. I looked at all those
young fresh faces and replied “All of
them”.
This really should be the answer for each of us as we strive to make the
California State Horsemen’s Associa-
tion the best it can be. Every one of
the competitors in our programs,
every horseman on a trail, and every-
one who just likes to sit on a fence and watch horses graze or run across a
field belongs to us for we are all peo-
ple who care about the future of horse-
men and horses.
While we may from time to time need to take a break from a heavy volun-
teer schedule, we must try to remem-
ber why we are volunteering in the
first place. It seems to be my time for
a break….”
The “making of CSHA” is summed up
in the word “volunteer”. Nobody got
paid to start this organization. None
of its officers or chair people have ever made a living from the organization.
Some of us joined for our kids or
grandkids. Some of us don’t have ei-
ther and joined just for ourselves. No
matter why you joined, you, as a vol-
unteer…you, as a participant…are the
making of CSHA .
The next time you look out over the
arena, over a crowded room at a meet-
ing, over a group of riders gathered at
the trailhead and someone asks “Which is yours?”, I hope that you will
feel compelled to answer as Julie did
back in 1992…”All of them” because I
do it for me, I do it for them and we
are the making of CSHA.
Note: Julie Morin joined CSHA as a
member of Region VI. Her exploits
included serving as a State Convention
Chair, Region VI President, mother of
the Region VI Queen & being a found-
ing member of The Purpose and the M&M Clubs. After moving to Region
IV, Julie spent numerous years as edi-
tor of The New Horseman taking the
newsletter to new heights as a glossy
covered, monthly mini-magazine.
Even when her volunteerism was se-
verely curbed by her final illness, Julie
kept her fingers in the “making of
CSHA”.

At the beginning of the year the CSHA
Drill Team program offers a spring raffle
to help teams raise funds to compete in
CSHA events. The Drill Team Program
also opens it up to other CSHA programs
or regions that wish to participate. The
Royalty program has participated the
last two years. The raffle drawing was
conducted at the Drill Team State
Championships held May 3rd & 4th. The
grand prize ticket was sold by Region 18
Miss CSHA Cody Foster. The other win-
ning tickets were sold by a Blue Shadow
and a Redding Jr. Rodeo Assoc. team
member respectively. Congratulations!

Northern Area News- Western States Horse Expo This year the CSHA Booth at the WSHE had a face lift. Cheryl Caldwell, a life member of Region 2, offered
her expertise and equipment to give us a new location and look. In addition to building a better profile of
what CSHA has to offer she had paintings entered in the Art Show winning a First and Second Place in the
Acrylic Paint Division.
Cheryl took pictures from the programs and created a collage highlighting the activities on a decorative
background. The booth this year was on a corner and was very open and inviting to the horse enthusiast
walking through the shopping mall.
Of course it takes more than just the eye catching
display to encourage people to stop and ask about
CSHA, it takes the Royalty, walking around in full
attire and staff members manning the booth at all
times. Cheryl organized the volunteers so that all
would have time to enjoy the WSHE as well as spend
a few hours at the CSHA booth.
These three ladies, Rita Cassibba, Cheryl Caldwell,
and Brandy Fraser, all of Region 2 were the main
faces at the booth. Greta DeGraeve, Jim and Caro-
lyn Hendrickson were on hand Friday to help man
the booth.
I want to personally THANK Cheryl for having offered to give the CSHA booth a makeover and then took on
the responsibility to organize the booth and staffing. With Cheryl and her team, Rita and Brandy, CSHA
had great representation throughout the entire event. Thank you again,

POKER RIDES – Now controlled by Bureau of Gambling
For many years Poker Rides have been used as fund raisers by a variety for nonprofit groups (car clubs, horse clubs,
motorcycle clubs, etc). Unbeknownst to the majority of the members of these groups the law governing these
“controlled games” was changed on January 1, 2007. On that date new California laws went into effect that not only
limit the number of controlled games the organization can offer each year, but also requires the organization to com-
plete a Bureau of Gambling Control registration form, and pay an annual fee of $100 to the California Department of
Justice.
Controlled games that are an approved funding mechanism are specified in the California Penal Code section
337j(e)(1) as "any poker or pai gow game, and any other game played with cards or tiles, or both, and approved by the
Department of Justice, and any game of chance, including any gaming device, played for currency, check, credit, or any
other thing of value that is not prohibited and made unlawful by statute or local ordinance."
The following page outlines the new laws.
NOTE- The current processing time frame, at the Bureau of Gambling Control, is 30 business days for all charitable gambling registration forms. CSHA has not completed the registration form, nor paid the fee.
The Board of Directors will have to review and approve this item. If you are a State or Region program
chairman; or a Region President who desires to use a controlled game, in 2014 or 2015, please forward the
details of your intended event to CSHA CFO Linda Quattlebaum ([email protected]) prior to July 15th,
For more information contact the DOJ Help Desk (916) 227-3584 or email [email protected]
AB 839 At-A-Glance Provisions
(Business and Professions Code 19985et seq.)
Limits charity fundraisers involving controlled games to nonprofit organizations that are qualified to conduct business in California; have been in existence for at least three years; and are exempt from taxation under the Revenue and Taxation Code sections 23701(a), (b), (d), (e), (f), (g), (k), (l), or (w).
Requires eligible nonprofit organizations to register annually with the Bureau of Gambling Control, pay a registration fee of up to $100 to cover the cost of administration an enforce-ment, and maintain annual disclosure reports for each event.
Allows charities to conduct fundraisers using controlled games.
Limits an eligible nonprofit organization to only one fundraiser per calendar year using con-trolled games.
Allows eligible organizations that have multiple chapters to hold one fundraiser per chapter per calendar year.
Limits each fundraiser to no more than five (5) hours in duration.
Sets a limit of four (4) events per location, unless pre-approved by the Bureau of Gambling Control for a “rural” area.
Prohibits cash prizes or wagers from being awarded to participants. Winners may be entitled to a donated prize. Individual prizes must not exceed a cash value of $500, and total value of prizes awarded must not exceed a cash value of $5,000 (Gift cards are not considered cash and are ok to award as prizes.)
Requires at least 90% of the revenue (from a fundraiser using controlled games) to go di-rectly to the eligible nonprofit organization.
1. Prohibits more than 10% of the gross receipts of a fundraiser using controlled games from being paid as compensation to the entity or persons conducting the fundraiser, excluding a facility rental fee.
Continued on page 8
PAGE 12 THE NEW HORSEMAN 2014, I SSUE 4

What is California State Horsemen’s Association,

CSHA was founded in 1942 for the purpose of fostering interest

ticipants opportunities for growth and enjoyment regardless of
their type of riding, breed of horse or experience level.
CSHA implements its programs via its 18 geographic regions
throughout the State of California. These Regions have elected
officers and appointed program chairs who volunteer their time
to develop their respective programs and who represent clubs
and individuals that participate in various programs offered by
the Association.
