Letter from the president
Well we are less than 2 weeks away from our final show of the year. The August show was a big success with the addition of the Bridle Spectacular Event. We paid out almost $14,000 in prize money. Be sure to check the point standing for year end divisions and the saddles. They are listed on the website. Both saddle races and many of our class division titles are very close and this final show will determine the winners. Get your entries in and don't forget our Green Rider, Green Horse, and Youth Bridle Spec. Even if you are out of the year end awards this is a great opportunity to win money and some great prizes. I hope to see all of you at the show.
Sincerely,
Joe Decker
NYRCHA President
August Update
A reminder that special event entries need to be in by August 16. Be sure to review our show bill; due to the addition of the special event classes other classes have been put in a different order on the class scheduled.
Herd-work on Friday is only for those entering the special event classes at begins at 3 p.m. We will have no herd-work classes on Saturday. Our regular herd-work classes run on Sunday; however, they will be later in the day to allow those coming just for those classes more time to arrive at the Fairgrounds.
Warm-Ups will be held after the Herd Work on Friday night.
Due to continuing COVID issues, we are reminding people to adhere to the guidelines posted at the fair grounds. Also, if you are coming from one of the quarantine states Governor Cuomo has listed, then be sure you are in compliance. Everyone will have to sign an affidavit upon arrival available at the office. I appreciate everyone's patience with this on going issue. Hope to see you all at the show.
Your President,
Joe Decker
NYRCHA is ready to move on 5/18/2020
Hello all. It looks like we are finally going to be able to get our show season started. We have been given the go ahead from Fonda to run our June show. You should all have received an e:mail from Robin with the operating guidelines provided to us by Richard Kennedy. We will be running as carefully and safely as we can. We are asking everyone to do as much of your entries on line as possible to help limit traffic at the show office.Cindy is also asking that those of you who can, to use pay pal.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the show. That being said we are running this show because the feedback we are getting is that a lot of people ready to get out and start showing. If you feel uncomfortable and worried about being out in public I would encourage you to stay home and come to our July show. Please make the decision that is right for you.
Another reminder is to be sure and check our website as we have updated our Green Rider rules and Novice Youth rules. As always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. I hope to see you all at the show. Sincerely, your President.... Joe Decker

In light of the most recent developments of the Covid-19 situation, we have decided that the best course of action at this point it to cancel our May show. Our plan will be to run the rest of the show schedule as planned. We will still be awarding a weekend Green Rider High Point during the season.
