Dear Members,

It begins another season with a veruy special meaning, as it will be anohter year for elections in ABQM, in which tehre will be the election of the new Executive Committee and the renewal of 50% of themembers of the Board of Directors.

During these 6 mandates, 12 years, we always respected our main objective, to have an enterprise view, with the values of Honesty, Ethics and Transparence.

I am sure that we realized a faithful work to the aims of those who helped to build up a respected and admired entity by all the quarter horse people, as well as the onwers of other horse breeds.

However, it is necessary to renew the direction of our entity and you cannot resign your right to be in eelctive position, such as the Board of Directors and Executive Committee.

Join to dedicate a little bit of your time to give continuity to the success of our breed.

It is very healthy to any entity to renew the directors, thus we ask all the wuarter horse people to participate of the biggest horse association of Brazil.

The year starts very hot to the Quarter Horse, with big Auction Sales, as well as, important races at the “Jockey Club de Sorocaba.”

I am sure that this will be another great year for the Quater Horse, with a significative growing of our breed.

We are sure that we are the best in Brazil and our animals are still the most wanted in the country and in the world, so it is time to invest in quality and the finance success will be a consequence.

We thank God for the great results obtained by ABQM and we remind onde again that “A Breed and an Association only will be strong if there will be the participatin of their members.”

Ovídio Vieira Ferreira - President
