Carolyn Horning for being our Show Manager and getting all of the arrangements made for the arenas and then putting the trail, equitation patterns and making sure all of their equipment was set up and maintained. We could not have managed without Carolyn's tireless work on the ground as well as getting this all put together for us.

Karen White with also arrangements plus doing a superb job of announcing at the 1st two shows. Unfortunately Karen had to go back on Insurance Claims to the Midwest so she had her sister Laurie Pieterick fill in for more than half of the day for the 3rd Show and then finished by both Shannon Main and Michele Simmelink-Rask.

2008 COPHC Queen Britny Haney presenting our Awards, Buckles, Ribbons, High Point and Individual Class Awards.

Paris Steen for being our In Gate manager for all 3 shows with the help of Luella Clark on both the In and Out Gates. Luella also filled in to distribute the awards for our 3rd Show.

Sandy & Katie Schaff for running tickets for placing, helping set up trail and equitation courses, general work on the ground and distributing the awards. Sandy also helped with taking entries.

Shannon Main and Kay Simmelink in the office, keeping scores and managing entries. Michele Simmelink-Rask helped in the office before the start of the 3rd show as well as helping on the ground as Scribe for the 1st two judges and helping set up the trail and equitation courses.

Chuck Simmelink and a few new members fathers helped Carolyn set up and take down the trail classes at all 3 shows as well as hauled the office equipment up and down the long stairs at the two arenas. Kristi Carter also helped in this endeavor.

And a thank you to our 3 fine judges. 1st Show, Terri Nicholson, 2nd Show, Kelly Huntington and 3rd show Joan Horton.

We would also like to suggest to anyone that has not been to the new Rim Rock Riders Arena, Brasada Ranch, Powell Butte, Oregon, it is well worth to drive out that way and see a spectacular new arena with adequate facilities to hold most any sort of horse event you could think worthy. It is well thought out and each time we went they had improved on some portion of that facilitiy. Visit their web site at www.rimrockriders.com
