Heartland:

As many of our readers know, the Canadian produced Family TV Series, Heartland, had a couple of episodes filmed at some local Alberta Farms. Both Blue Valley Farms and Anderson Ranch played host to the crew and cast for this Alberta based family drama. Look for Calgary based riders in the show, Rodney Tulloch from Blue Valley Farms, and RMSJ's own Tani Anderson who played stunt double to Ashley. Tani did all of the jumping as Ashley's double.

The Season Finale aired on CBC last night, and both of these local stables were featured in the episode.

The episodes can be viewed online by going to the CBC website.

Provincial Associations:

The province of Alberta is the only province in the country that has two separate provincial associations in existence to serve the needs of their provincial riders. The Alberta Show Jumping Association (ASJA) and the Alberta Hunter Horse Society were incorporated just four years apart back in the 1980's.

There has been some discussion over the last few years by various parties that the two associations should merge into one greater entity as there seems to be a good amount of overlap because the two are basically serving the same population in the province.

RMSJ Winter Training Series Hunter II Starts Friday:

The second of the 2008 RMSJ Winter Training Series Hunter Tournaments is scheduled to get underway this coming Friday, February 29th. The first of the Hunter Tournaments was scheduled to run over three days; however the entries allowed us to host the tournament on the Sat/Sun only.

This weekend's tournament will be run over the three days. You can see the updated schedule here.

Just a note for competitors that are accumulating points in the ASJA Three Star Series that the individual schooling classes preceding each division will be points accumulators for the respective division. Professionals will still be allowed to ride in those classes; however, their points will not count.

The RMSJ Winter Training Series Tournaments, are a part of the ASJA Three Star Series.

Don't forget, If you show in all three of the respective Winter Training Series Hunter, or Jumper, your name will be put into a draw, and RMSJ will send two of you to the Royal Winter Fair with airfare and tickets to events included.

ASJA 2008 Membership & Calendar:

We thought we would send a note to remind all Alberta competitors to renew their ASJA membership for 2008. As most of you know, the ASJA introduced the Five & Three Star Series in 2007. The series does require a declaration by ASJA members, and there is a box to check on the 2008 membership form. There is also a spot on the membership form for riders to declare for the Alberta Select Riders Program. Please take a few minutes to fill out your 2008 ASJA membership, and send it into the address located on the form.

Remember, all RMSJ tournaments are a part of the ASJA Star Series, and points will not be counted towards the year end championships, unless you are an ASJA member and have declared yourself as a Three or Five Star rider.
