The challenges during 2020 forced us to cancel the membership meetings and the recreational ride. Still, look at all we were able to accomplish:
- We held the annual membership meeting in February, with a pizza and potluck dinner and election of board members, followed by a candidate forum of local office seekers.
- After the horrific slaughter of a horse in Corrales, we organized the GoFundMe account Justice for Rocky, collecting over $25,000, including a $1000 donation from CHAMP (your dues at work), which was given to Albuquerque Crime Stoppers to offer a reward.
- You sent in over 15 entries to the photo contest this summer. The winners received gift cards to local businesses.
- After several incidents, we worked with Corrales Fire Department Chief Martinez to get a horse-friendly new crossing at Romero Road for access to the Bosque.
- The CHAMP Facebook page continues to be the go-to point for anyone wanting current, local information about events, horses to buy/sell, boarding, products, recommendations for a vet, farrier, or trainer, tack to buy or sell, a place to stay for a vacation or longer-term, clinics and other events, literally anything connected to the equine world in Corrales.
- Our tireless president, Patti Flanagan, responded to numerous inquiries, questions, and requests for assistance regarding resources for equine owners, activities, rules and regulations, neighbor disputes, etc.
