COMING ATTRACTION “MEMBER SPOTLIGHT”Next month we will be featuring two of our club members in the Idaho Miniature Horse Club Newsletter. This new section allows our members toget better acquainted with each other. Each month, we will be contacting two members who will have the opportunity to tell their story about, why they have joined our club, what activities they would like to do with their mini’s, whether they are new mini owners or about their YEARS of experiences with their mini’s or even their time with their big horses.

We are excited about this new feature, as we want to continue to make our club fun, friendly and enthusiastic. It’s going to be a great year!!

Lynne Wing will contact you for your own spotlight issue!
