Meet the Executive

What a year we have had!! I believe that we had the dream team on the Executive.  I would really like to thank each and everyone of them for their input and hard work for the MES.  Eila was keeping us straight with the finances.  Ellen spent a ton of time chasing up paperwork from new members. Danielle and Ellen kept all the members informed of happenings.  Jordan was always around and offered good ideas and advice.  I couldn’t wear this Presidents hat without Anna as Vice President! Anna has been an amazing ambassador and advocate for getting us out there, enjoying our horses and becoming MES members.  We might have the biggest membership base that we have ever had?! 

2024 saw us add new footing to the ring.  While this has been on the record for several years to be done, Anna had a last minute glitch with her own paddock build so the truck was available and the footing was delivered. The new top-up in the top of the ring has melded beautifully with the existing footing. Anna has hosted clinics and playdays all of which have engaged the membership, used the ring and equipment, kept equestrians and horses visible at the municipal grounds, and had new members join.

Behind the scenes there has been good work done building and maintaining relationships with the Museum, Community House and the other user groups.  Emergency preparedness continues to be prevalent on everyone’s mind, and Anna has been working closely with Chief Dunlop and the other parties to establish a realistic plan for our community.  Chief Dunlop attended our AGM and rather than give a talk we had an informal Q&A about emergency preparedness. It was a very informative night.  

As you can tell, Anna has been the driving force this year.  While she adamantly doesn’t want to wear the President’s hat, she deserves all the credit on this year’s progress.  

Thank you to all the members that keep this community vibrant and fun.
