Royalty News
Well, I have to say that so far this is one of the most fun summers that I can remember. I have had the
opportunity to do so many things… I have recently returned from a South Dakota trail riding vacation, have
represented the club at clinics and events, and I have been to many different shows doing games, pleasure and
best of all, Salute Rides! I am also anxiously looking forward to attending the World Equestrian Games in
Lexington, Kentucky at the end of September where I plan to represent the club there by wearing my hat,
crown and sash one day as well. Being able to represent SRSC as Queen this year has opened many
opportunities that I am so grateful for!
Our royalty as a team has done many things this year as well, with more to come. We had a great time
representing the club at the horse expo and were looking forward to riding on the royalty float during
Scandia’s Taco Daze Parade.
I know that each of us will be sad as our time to represent the club as Royalty comes to an end, but we are
excited to be ushering in our new Royalty for 2011. Our 2011 candidates are as follows: Queen- Bridget
Edgar and Lois Greiman, Junior Princess- Mikaela DelGiudice. Best of luck ladies- you will have a fun year
ahead of you!

~ Meet Bridget Edgar ~
I have had horses most of my life thanks to my parents and now husband for letting me.
You will find me at horse events almost always with my Mom, Karen Siebenaler. I currently
have five horses that I keep at my house. Deuce my QH for attempting to pleasure show,
three miniatures for mini shows and a dwarf mini for fun. Showing minis are new to me as
well as driving but it’s just as fun if not more fun then showing big horses. Something you
might not know about me is I like running marathons, triathlons, keeping bees, growing
dinner plate dahlias, making wine… OK I like everything new I try so my husband has a ‘no
new hobby’ ban put on me.
We want to spotlight you…getting desperate since I have to spotlight myself….help
me out here!
Send a photo of you and your horse/s along with some notes about what you
love to do with your horse to bridget@ourhobbyfarm.com We will highlight a
new member each newsletter.
Congratulations to our Members on their recent accomplishments:
Pam Foshay on her high placings in two classes at the Sahara Sands Arabian show recently.
Laura Kemmis competed in the recent mounted patrol competitions in Wadena where she and
her teams placed second and fourth.
Several new members, Lois and Colleen, competed recently in the endurance ride at Sand
Dunes State Park, where both placed in the top 10.
If you have something exciting to share and horse related email bridget@ourhobbyfarm.com We would
love to hear what you are up to with your horses.
