CLUB HAPPENINGS
LOVELL’S LITTLE BITS
NORTH CAROLINA
The Cash Lovell Stables’ Little Bits Youth Club in Winston-Salem,
North Carolina kicked off the new year with
great plans for the 2012 Show Season!
First on the list were two Youth Club road trips — one to
the ASAC Convention in Concord, NC, and the other to the
ASHA Annual Convention and Youth Conference in Lexington,
KY. Many of their youth club members attended the conferences
and had wonderful weekends filled with educational
activities, youth meetings, awards, great food and dancing!
Next, their riders got to work raising funds and collecting
items for their winter and spring community service projects.
During the first few months of 2012, the Little Bits supported
Riverwood Therapeutic Riding Center, CLS’s Ghana Orphan
Relief Fund, the Ronald McDonald House of Winston Salem,
Play for Peace Global Initiative and Crisis Control Ministry.
Their Youth Club also held five different meetings to start
the year off right! Barn Safety, Show Rider and Academy
Rider preparation and a mission trip to Ghana were just a few
of the subjects they covered in January, February and March!
They began their official 2012 Show Season at Latta Park
Plantation in Huntersville, NC. The American Saddlebred Association
of the Carolinas held their Winter Tournament and
the Little Bits were happy to bring almost 30 new and seasoned
riders to participate in this exciting show! After practicing
at the Winter Tournament, they were ready for the
Raleigh Spring Premiere Horse Show in Raleigh, NC. They
had a great turnout, loads of fun and celebrated the efforts of
all their riders!
As they move on into the summer months, the Little Bits
are looking forward to riding clinics with Scott Matton of
Knollwood Farms, Cash Lovell Stables Spring Charity Fun
Show to benefit Horses Against Hunger and attending one of
Cash Lovell Stables’ five different summer camps. They will
be competing in horse shows such as JD Massey Classic,
Asheville Lion’s Club Benefit, and Blowing Rock Charity.
The Cash Lovell Stables’ Little Bits Youth Club of Winston-Salem,
North Carolina, began their 2012 show season with the American
