The 2009 Christmas Party was held on December 12th at the home of Terry Tatman. Terry and Doug’s home was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The club provided fresh turkey and ham smoked by our own Hickory River Smokehouse. There were many elegant sides from which to choose. This was the best attended and received Christmas party to date, bar none! (Those OVAHA folks know how to throw a party!)

The evening began with a sport horse carriage clinic given by Meredith and Stacey Giere. Their appointments and carriages were stunning. Despite cold temperatures, the clinic was very well attended. This was a clinic you should not have missed.
