In
support of Cancer research, Blackland Ranch hosted a Clay
Webster Reining/Horsemanship Clinic on August 9 and 10,
2003. The event fared very well despite current financial
stresses on the agricultural industry, and at the end of
the two days $1,057.70 was tallied in support of the Canadian
Cancer Society. Organizers Jenn MacRae and Sherry Menard
were pleased with the results. All the clinic participants,
Nikki Downey, Kerri Russell, Deb Stefiuk, Sherry Menard,
Gene Gawreletz, Jamie Motta, and Shelley Loren, were all
reportedly happy with the information they received.
Organizer Sherry Menard stated, "During the planning
stages of this benefit, I was taken by the number of individuals
whose lives had been altered by this devastating disease,
and choose to put their support towards raising money for
the cause."
Due
to the loss of his mother Faye, in 1995 to leukemia, Webster
dedicates himself to a number of benefit charities each
year, to help raise money for a cure. Joining alongside
Blackland Ranch and Clay Webster Performance Horses Inc.
were The Mill Store, Busy Bee Delivery, PS video and Saddlebags
Horse Paraphernalia..
