Kendall: Simi Valley is really nice. I never went to that arena before and I really liked it. Thank you Susan for a nice race.

Jill: WAY TO GO CAITLYN!!! Thanks Susan for putting on another great race! We appreciate all you do for us!

Yvette Hill: Hi Susan,No we didn't suffer any loss or damage, however it was very scary to say the least. Thank goodness for the charity of strangers. People who's own property was in danger. As I was attempting to write, the only heartache we suffered was from the lack of support from our very own district.Thanks for your concern Susan. You are fantastic!Yvette Hill

Susan: Yvette - Was your property okay after the evacuation? I haven't heard of any NBHA Members in California having any damage or loss of horses (Thank Goodness!), but I have received word of lots of evacuations.

Yvette Hill: Hi All,I wanted to write as this seems to be the place to speak out. After the fires in our area, I am left wondering about the barrel racing community. We had to evacuate 40 horses during the recent fire storm in Santa Clarita and NONE of our district members where anywhere in sight. I could understand if any of their properties where in danger, but they where not. There where strangers that lived in the same areas as most of the members of our district 17 lived, and they were all fine. I had f

Deanise: Kuddo's to Susan for such hard work at the state show! It is such hard work to coordinate more than 300 hundred riders each day, along with all the volunteer's and the TWO paid "employee's". So many people with so many different personalities is more than a headache! Especially when the certain elements are out of your control, such as awards. There were hiccups but WOW what great awards! So much fun...can't wait for Vegas and State next year!

Kiknitup: I don't know what's going on!!! This year's State Show was AWESOME!! The awards were the best - saddles AND buckles to first place in EVERY class??? Headstalls AND Breastcollars to Second place??? The ground was amazing!!! Quit whining!

Spurinit@aol.com: State finals was the wrost barrel race I have ever gone to. Where are the pee wee buckles and where are the Checks.

rodeogirl65: The show was so much fun!!! We loved the DOG RACES & can't wait till next year!!!!

Delaina Taketa: wow! i love how Susan is so involved with what we think! Vegas was awesome it was nice to see some california faces there that i new. You guys all did great! for me i had big success and am sitting 3rd in 4D for the all star standings and have a new saddle sitting in my living room! I cant wait too see everyone at state finals. it should be fun! also again thank you so much Susan for being involved! It really makes everything soo much fun! cant wait too see what you have in store for us at state

Deanise: Pat is right...the consideration for those who need to pull out of a show for reasons beyond their control is awesome. I had to pull out of City of Industry due to my hubby breaking his leg that Friday morning, as I was prepping to leave. I couldn't leave him to have surgery (7 screws & a 5 inch plate) alone. Thanks for the understanding!

Susan: Thanks, Pat and Kay C - we really appreciate hearing from you!

pat robertson: I benefitted from last years policy about refunds, esp since i got so sick at state finals i barely could drive home an hour from tulare,I was trilled that state finals gave me some of entrys back and with absolutely no hassels...I told everyone thet were impressed, for that reason alone unless none of my horses are sound enuff to go I am going to state finals. I was saddened to see that refunds were going to be tuffer to attain. When circumstances change @ the show consideration goes a long w

KayC Brink: I realy thought the dog race at state was fun, hope to see it agin. Im shur we could all help out and it would go smoother next time given the chance. I know you all have enough on your plate already at state, I my self plan to make more effort to help out this year where I can and if we all try to do somthing to help thoses that work so hard to put on the big shows for us Im shur we'd see lots of smiley faces and mabe some other fun side enteranement ??? Thanks for the big fun shows!

Cara Harris: this is great! A NBHA blog! thanks for taking the time.

Susan: Thanks for visiting!

Squeak Valenzuela

We received terrible news today that Squeak Valenzuela has suffered an accident while riding his horse. His wife found him unconcious and had him taken to the hospital. Squeak is having trouble moving his right side, and his prognosis is not yet known. Today is Saturday, September 8 - we will provide an update for you as soon as we learn of anything new.

If you would like to send Squeak a card, you can either send it to the NBHA California address (21704 Devonshire St., #280 Chatsworth, CA 91311) and I will forward it to Squeak or you can phone or e-mail Susan Eskander for his address.

Everyone on the NBHA California team wishes Squeak a speedy recovery - we hope to see him back in action very soon!

talked with Betty yesterday. Squeak is improving and working hard in rehab. He is able to lift his right arm in front/back/to the side. right leg is coming a little slower...but is making gains. Betty said Squeaks room is filled with flowers/cards...and feel so blessed by the amount of people concerned. o:)
