The main reason that I started this forum was to promote the breed of the Standardbred and give country people a outlet to talk about and hear about Standie Events and Happenings.
I was discussing this with my dentist ( huh - yeh I know ) who happens to have horses and also does remote dentistry, and she said that it will be very hard for people that are up in the Far North to travel even to Whyalla, Port Augusta, or Port Pirie.
Thats when the light bulb went off

So what do you think guys????
Any suggestions feel free to have some input and suggestions for judges etc. I have a few people in mind to judge.
I was thinking a $2 entry free then ribbons for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and any profits made from the section goes to the winners state SPPHASA commitee??
Entries will not open for a few weeks yet until everyone has had a say on what they think and judges are confirmed etc. So until the end of January you guys get to have a say on how this will run. Entries shoudl open early to mid February 2009.
Fire away guys - lets get this happening.
