Arizona’s Most Important Contribution
At the time of this writing, I am preparing a two-part presentation that will be presented to Tim Bee in Sierra Vista Saturday May 16, 2009. Tim is Governor Jan Brewer’s Director for Southeastern Arizona.
ASHA’s goal for this meeting is to win his support for Arizona’s Horse Industry to the degree that he will work for some sort of financial benefits or support for our industry.
The first part of the presentation deals with The Horse Industry’s contributions to the state of Arizona and the worthwhile benefits horses bring human beings whether they are riders or not.
All of us should be armed with these facts so that we can fulfill a role as Ambassadors for Arizona’s Equine Industry. In the near future, both parts will be refined and photos, videos and voice will be added so that horse organizations, and individuals will be able to make presentations wherever and whenever we need to educate or have an impact.
