Welcome to the Blue Ridge Cowboy Church in Fletcher, NC. One of the most exciting churches anywhere. If you like the cowboy culture, you'll
love the cowboy church! You don't have to be a cowboy to attend. Most people who come to cowboy church don't even own a horse. They tell
me they come because they like the relaxed atmosphere where they can be themselves, whether they have a Harley, or a horse, wear boots or
suits, are divorced or married, it just doesn't matter. It is a place you can feel welcome and right at home. Most folks who check us out end up
staying. So come on down, check out the Blue Ridge Cowboy Church, we believe you'll end up staying too! Every Tuesday evening at 7PM, at
the WNC Ag Center 828-273-9635 or go to www.brcowboychurch.org

11 - 12 -Aussie Horse Trainer Coming to Fletcher, NC October 11 and 12.
If you're a horse owner and have ever wondered what it would be like to ride a horse with the feather-light response of a top caliber sports car,
you can't miss Clinton Anderson's Wahl Walkabout Tour in Fletcher, NC October 11 and 12.
The native Australian horse trainer and RFD-TV celebrity will bring his training techniques to the WNC Agricultural Center for the action packed
Saturday and Sunday event. Topics covered include colt starting, trailer loading, spooky horses, groundwork, safety in the saddle, advanced
riding and more. A crowd of more than 3,500 horse owners is expected.
As the host of two popular horse training television shows on the RFD-TV network (available on Dish and DirecTV to over 40 million homes),
Anderson has helped countless riders achieve the level of success they desire with their horses. Now he's passing his information on in an
easy-to-understand, live format that's designed to inspire and educate horse owners.
Attendees at the event will have the opportunity to watch Anderson work with problem and untrained horses on the ground and under saddle
during eight separate demonstrations over the two days. Watching Anderson's step-by-step techniques and explanation of every action will
allow attendees to quickly learn how replicate the same respect and responsiveness with their own horses. On Sunday, the event ends with an
advanced riding demonstration by Anderson with one of his own trained horses that allows horse owners to see the end result of Anderson's
training techniques.
Attendees will also be able to personally ask Anderson any of their horse training questions during scheduled autograph sessions. Avid fans
can even have their photo taken with Anderson, who is a two-time champion of the prestigious Road to the Horse Colt Starting Challenge (an
event that gives trainers just 3 hours to train an unbroken horse to ride).
Event sponsors Wahl Clipper, Ritchie Waterers, Horse and Rider Magazine, EZ All, ABI Equine, WW Livestock Equipment, Featherlite Trailers,
Classic Equine, Corona, Lexol and The Kent Group will also have booths on hand both days. Over $6,500 in free prizes will be given away
throughout the weekend.
Ten percent of all ticket sales benefit the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, a national non-profit organization which
encourages the benefits of therapeutic riding.
Advance tickets are just $25 per person for the entire weekend pre-ordered. Children 16 and under get in free. Tickets at the door are $50
each. Doors open at 7:30 am and the all-day program starts at 8:00 am each day.

12 - PARADE OF BREEDS
Sunday, October 12, 2008
Chetola Farms, Monroe NC
Join your fellow horseman and horsewomen in the Parade of Breeds. On Sunday afternoon at 3pm, be ready to ride and show off your horse!
Each exhibitor or group of exhibitors will “parade” through the arena, giving spectators what they came to see—HORSES!
In one place, you’ll see miniature horses, draft horses, race horses and gaited horses. It is a unique opportunity to see a vast assortment of
horses all in one place. It’s a chance to get up close to your favorite breeds, talk to owners, ask questions, collect information and maybe pet
a few special ones!
All donations for this event will support the United States Equine Rescue League, Inc. (USERL) for the Central Piedmont area. The USERL
rescues and re-homes abandoned, abused horses and provides outreach education to the horse community. The USERL is a certified 501(c)
(3) nonprofit horse-rescue and horse-rehabilitation program that is volunteer-run and operates solely on donations. Every dollar goes to
support the USERL’s mission to save horses.
This event is geared to the public to entertain and educate. Anyone who is interested in learning more about horses or horse care is
encouraged to attend. Bring the whole family for some good, wholesome fun. You can bring a picnic or purchase at the USERL concession
stand. Some horses are nervous around dogs, so we ask that you keep your dogs leashed at all times.
As an exhibitor, you will have the opportunity to set up a table, banners, etc. at your stall area. The public will be invited to visit
with the horse-owners throughout the day both before and after the Parade.
Established in 1998, Chetola Farms is home for a variety of horse breeds and riding disciplines. The owners, the Williams Family, breed, raise
and train Paso Fino Horses. Chetola Farms is located in Monroe, NC. Directions and more information is available at: www.chetolafarms.com
If you have a horse that you would like to exhibit in the parade of breeds, please contact Lee Schnupper at 704-367-0693 or contact Deb Carl
at dbcarl@bellsouth.net.
