	Rachel LeDuke : 2010 ALAQHA President I started riding at the age of seven and got my first American Quarter Horse at the age of thirteen, a three year old dun mare by Vista Bar, named Vista Cruiser.  I showed her in the 4H and open shows and eventually raised a few babies.  I took a break from horses during college and graduate school but once established in my career, I bought an Appaloosa halter mare in 1991.  I enjoyed showing at the Appaloosa shows, showing first in halter and added the riding classes after I sold the halter mare.  I showed in showmanship, hunter, pleasure, equitation, horsemanship and trail at the appaloosa shows.  I got started in the Quarter Horse shows two years ago with the help of Steve Cardwell and have enjoyed every minute of owning “Gizmo” and showing him in pleasure at the AQHA shows.  This year we hope to add showmanship and horsemanship to our repertoire.  I have made so many new friends showing AQHA and Alabama amateurs are the best!!! I am honored to join the Amateur Board of Directors this year an look forward to a fun and productive year.
	Amber McKenzie: 2010 ALAQHA Vice President I have been in the horse world for a long time. As a kid, I tried a number of different events from barrel racing, to cutting, to breakaway roping, and finally to my true passion of western pleasure. I bought Ladmore, my first registered quarter horse, at around 16. Ladmore was an All Around Gelding that taught me alot about horsemanship! I showed in showmanship, hunter hunter saddle, hunt seat equitation, western pleasure, western horsemanship, trail, and western riding. I had to sell Ladmore to go to college and was out of horse showing for about three years. This past year, with the help of Kyle Grant, I was able to lease Hot Lopin Radical to show in the Novice division. I had a wonderful first year back in the show ring, and it feels GREAT to be showing again! I look forward to the challenges and experiences this upcoming year will bring. I am honored to serve as the Amateur Vice President this year and hope to see you all at the show pen!
