Denise & Reese wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

...AND Happy New Year!

As this year draws to a close, I ponder so many enjoyable moments while reading all your stories and sharing in your adventures. I know so many others have too. November showed almost 1,000 visitors to this blog and in December close to 800. So if you think no one is around, I am hear to say, we are! =] I know there is a ripple effect due to your enthusiasm and it has triggered many to get out any promote, ride and enjoy their curlies. So Thank you ALL who participated, shared and joined with us in 2009 as part of the Ride-A-Curly. You have and ARE making a difference!!

Thank you too, to Sophie in France, our ONLY overseas rider in 09 and huge supporter of Curly Horse Country and the RAC. I am hoping this group will spread to those abroad in years to come, because I think it's the coolest thing to see Curly shirts being worn around the world, don't you? Betsy, Zoe, Susan, Angie, Heather, Linda...- thank you for being such diehard bloggers! Many others of you promoted quietly in your own backyard or while doing promos and shows. And although we didn't hear from you, we know you were out there just the same, making your own waves too! I thank all of you! Some found 2009 a difficult year, either due to illness, hardship or family struggles and I want to thank you for hanging in there and leaning on the RAC to brighten your spirits and keep you going. Every single member of the RAC is valuable and I just want to tell you that. You all inspire me by showing your support for this program. It makes it all worthwhile to see it's purpose being fulfilled through all of you.

For those of you joining us in 2010, this is going to be an amazing year. I have some new MINI contests planned WITH prizes! So GET ready..along with of course, the Grand and Reserve prizes for end of year as well in all 5 divisions. Maybe a surprise contest too -- ! But, for many it isn't even about the prizes, it's about supporting each other and being part of a team...sharing goals. So what do you say, Let's do this thing and get ready for another year! http://curlyhorsecountry.com/RAC_entryform.htm

I invite you all to share your thoughts here on this blog in this last week of the 2009 year. Maybe it's just Holiday wishes, maybe it's more...whatever you wish. Right now, this blog is your stage, have at it! You are unleashed!! LoL.

Blessings to you all,

Your side-line cheerleader, Denise Conroy and RAC's curly mascot, Reese. =]
