Good night Red Arrow Camp.

Many pictures from this last celebration were taken so click here to see the wonderful time everyone had.  Below is a picture of Chateau men with their canoe paddle.

For the second year in a row an eight-year-old Quarter horse Gelding named DRIGGS has won the honor of Horse Of The Year.  Driggs was purchased from a ranch in Idaho when he was unbroke as a four year old. This is his fourth year at RAC.   

As for the Rookie Of The Year, a seven-year-old named OSCAR.  There were seven great rookies this year at RAC. Oscar was bought from the Sioux Indians on the Sioux Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota last October while on a hunting trip.  This is his first year at RAC.  In the spirit of a little stable humor, it is proven that blondes really do have more fun at RAC.
