Julia Caro: 2005 ALAQHA
President
"My family has always owned
Quarter horses. I was fortunate to live close to some of the first
people to raise Quarter horses in Alabama. I showed my first
Quarter horse at age ten. Along with the Halter and Western
Pleasure horses, I've also shown Cutting horses in NCHA events for over
12 years. I have been able to raise my own show horses for the
last 10 or 12 years which I show in Western Pleasure and Pattern
classes. Since joining the Alabama Amateur QHA, I have met some of
the most interesting and fun people. The Association has provided
the opportunity to meet new people who all share the same love for the
Quarter horse."

Larry Mann: 2005 ALAQHA Vice President
"After having horses for most of
my life, the past eight years have been focused on showing and breeding.
My family and I own and operate Magnolia Hill Farm in Wetumpka, AL where
we stand the PHBA/NSBA World Champion stallion, Alla That Solo.
After successfully competing in halter events in 2003, I am enjoying
every minute of showing in the Western Pleasure division with my new
horse Ima Classy Shocker. My wife Connie and I are enjoying
taking our four year old grandson, Cory (Spiderman) to the shows and
letting him show in lead line. We are also looking forward to the
beginning of Cory's little brother, T.J.'s show career this year.
T.J. is 3 years old and it will be a handful having both of them compete
in leadline this year. I am also very honored to be elected V.P.
for ALAQHA and a board member for ALQHA and very excited at the future
outlook for open and amateur and hope to assist in making both ALQHA and
ALAQHA bigger and better in 2005. I encourage an;y member to
contact me at any time with their thoughts and comments.

"My husband and I raise, bred
and train our own horses at our Hickory Hill Farms in Alabaster,
Alabama. We have stood our stallion Lucky Lucky Zip for twelve
years and have been committed to showing only the offspring of our
stallion. I have enjoyed competing in AQHA in the Hunter Under
Saddle classes as well as Western Pleasure and look forward to
developing my skills in in Showmanship. I have two new horses to
show this year, a three year old filly, Zips Elegant Charm and a two
year old, Graceful Impulsions. I look forward to getting these two
horses in the ring and hopefully once again qualifying for this year's
Amateur Select World Championship show. See you at the shows!"

"After owning horses for
most of my adult life, we purchased the AQHA stallion Gold Futures by
Goldseeker Bars and concentrated on breeding and promoting his get in
the Southeast. We purchased Sonny Dee Bar mares to further our
breeding program in Western Pleasure. After we sold Gold Futures
we bred our mares to AQHA Champions and raised many Champions and
Futurity winners. My family and I own and operate Whippoorwill
Hill Quarter Horses in Deatsville, AL and raise Western Pleasure and
Halter prospects. After successfully competing in Halter events in
2004, I am enjoying every minute of showing my PHBA World Champion mare,
Mr Be My Daddy, in the AQHA Halter classes. I am honored and look
forward to serving on the ALAQHA Board."

"I started showing at the age of 11 in our neighborhood saddle club.
My racking horse won Reserve Champion and I was hooked on showing!
In my twenties, I started riding Quarter horses in Open shows in Western
Pleasure. I had always wanted to show AQHA but was told that the
"water was too deep". I moved to Huntsville three years ago,
bought a Hunt Seat horse and boarded at a barn right down the street
from Priceville Arena. Everyone at that barn showed AQHA, so I
took the plunge last year. It was the most fun and I met the
nicest people at the Alabama shows. I look forward to a wonderful,
successful 2005 season for everyone involved in ALQHA this year!
