Part of this responsibility, I believe, is to introduce areas that we may explore to generate growth. As I offer these different ideas and options please understand I have one motivation, to do my best to serve the membership of the NSHR. The extent to which any of my personal ideas become implemented is at the discretion of the BOD and ultimately you as members. In the end without your support and hard work none of these initiatives can succeed. I appreciate you reading the opinion pieces I have written. When something charges you up either negatively or positively, please let me know. No matter which direction we go we are going to need committed members willing to work towards our goals. At this time I see three options for us. You may have others. We would appreciate hearing them. One option would be following the Saddleseat discipline related opportunities that SHA can give us as outlined in our previous magazine. Another would be to follow the suggestions published in this issue. The third option would be to follow the status quo and wait for something in our existing framework to re-emerge. This option will also require us to make more cuts and become less visible. I am personally not in favor of that. We are not without options. I don’t believe waiting will be in the NSHR’s best interest. I also look forward to sharing my “Butts in the Seats” program in our next issue. This program revolves around outreach. It will combine education, sponsorship and charity. This program will require a great deal of work with endless rewards. Thank you and God Bless, David Mikosz NSHR Chairman of the Board NATIONAL SHOW HORSE 2 RON ADLER 1956-2008 by Anne Booten on Adler, 52 of Miami Beach, Florida, died September 26, 2008 after an extended illness. Ron R grew up in Miami Beach, Florida, and was a graduate of Florida State University. He had an extremely successful business as an entertainer and DJ before his Ron Adler illness kept him from his work. Robert Peebles hired Ron for the first National Show Horse Finals at Rock Creek in Louisville, Kentucky. Ron changed the atmosphere of horse shows ever since. With his rockin’ music and clown like antics he brought a fun and light hearted spirit to the show and stamped the NSH Finals as the party of the year. He was a professional clown and also contributed to many charitable events especially involving the local Jaycees. You always knew when Ron was in the room—he made everyone laugh. He is survived by the many friends he left behind.
