Dear Members,
The Annual Meeting was held Jan. 24,
2019 at the Marriott Hotel in Albuquerque. Mark your calendar for Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020 to attend the next Annual Meeting
and Awards Banquet. The location will be announced at a later date. I would like to thank Izzy Trejo of the New Mexico Racing Commission for being our guest speaker dur- ing the meeting.
Before the 2019 audit review, it shows a net gain of $84,547.00. This was a result of the income from the Stallion Auction held in August prior to the New Mexico Bred Yearling Sale, the Export Mare registra- tions and the Silent Auction income. 2018 members totaled 743. Registrations overall decreased by about 6%. Affidavits continue to be mailed confirming the accuracy of the information stated on New Mexico Bred ap- plications submitted.
The Trustees worked very hard to find ways to earn more income for our Associa- tion and also to cut expenses. Through their efforts we were able to come in under budget by $28,700.00 in 2018.
The Officers for 2019 are President Ralph W. Vincent, 1st Vice President Tom Goncharoff and 2nd Vice President Miguel L. Gallegos.
I would like to welcome Annette McCloy of Tatum, New Mexico and Mike Logan
of Hondo New Mexico as our new Quarter Horse Trustees and Verner Query of Max- well, New Mexico as our new but returning Thoroughbred Trustee. I would like to thank the departing Trustees Norma Alvarez, Jill Giles, and Jay Taylor for all their years of serving on our Board.
Thanks to Crystal Springs Farm & MJ Farms for hosting the wine and Lazy A Farm for sponsoring the flowers during the Zia Awards Banquet once again.
Debra J. Laney and Mindy J. McArthur did an awesome job again with the Silent Auction. I appreciate Jay L. Taylor for working along with the staff to transport the auction items to the Marriott Hotel on Wednesday evening.
Good luck at the races!
Mary Barber, NMHBA Executive Director
