Posted 10/20/2009: Regarding October 31 

The plan for Halloween is the potluck and spotlights.  Linda will have a sign up sheet at the barn beginning Thursday.  The event is open to all Jesse Peters students and GOGO members.  She can't promise an evening ride as that is up to Jesse but it is a possibility...perhaps a game of tag under the lights, too.  We aren't having a costume contest and expect some may be in costume for their spotlight.

The GOGOs won a Spotlight at the Parelli Celebration in Lakeland Florida being held October 9th thru 11th.  Some of the GOGOs have also been approved for individual Spotlights.  Let's all give these dedicated members our support and congratulations for your dedication and achievements.  We know you will be a wonderful success.

Saturday, October 31st, 6 PM…Halloween Potluck and Savvy Spotlights with comments and encouragement by 3 Star Parelli Professional Jesse PetersIf you have suggestions for additional fun events...please share!  If you would like to plan a savvy challenge for a play day...contact our game masters Barb or Margo.

Please send photos of you and your horse to Janet, our webmaster, and she will get put them on the GOGO website.
