The president of the AHAA for
2009 is Laurie Knox. Laurie has been involved in
Appaloosas since the age of 10 and rose up through the youth ranks to
show at both the National and World level. Living on a farm 20
miles east of Sherwood Park with her husband Lonny Vanderheide, 25 plus horses, 4
dogs, 2 barn cats and a guinea pig named Gordon keeps her
very busy. She also works full time as a Civilian Member with the
RCMP as an emergency dispatcher. Her family has been raising
horses since the early 1970’s and have bred multiple World and National
Champions in the last 10 years. Although Laurie and Lonny are the only family currently
living on the farm, Laurie’s parents Stewart
and Mary Knox as well as her older sister Gayle are all involved in the horses
too. Currently Knox Appaloosas
stands U.S.National Champion Sacred Dream and
they try to promote his get as well as other Alberta bred horses at the
World level.
If you have any questions, suggestions or offers of help to the AHAA, Laurie would love to hear from you. |

| Hi, My name is Daryl Marler. I am proud to be
your AHAA Vice President for 2009. I have had horses in my life since I
was 4 years old mostly riding on my parents cattle farm. Participating
in cattle 4H for 11 years I had success in showmanship & public
speaking. My wife Chris,
daughter Tess
& I reside on our Appaloosa farm in the Elk Island Park area. This
is our 2nd year showing with AHAA. Our family has enjoyed showing our
yearlings, geldings plus our Canadian champion & World
champion producing stallion Fit to Sizzle. A
huge bonus is meeting & making great friends that
participate with enthusiasm. My duties include Marketing
& Sales plus organizing Spruce Meadows. The 2009 show season will
be a exciting one. Please contact me or any of our other capable
directors if you want to present any concerns, ideas, questions
or wish participate in any way with the AHAA. Get Spotted at an
Appaloosa Horse Show! |

I have been involved with
horses from the age of 10 and my family has been in the business
of raising Quarter Horses for many years. As a member
of the AHAA I have been showing for the past three years
and will continue to in the future. I find the Appaloosa one of
the most diverse breeds and each one very unique. My
long term goal is to start a breeding program for
Halter Performance horses.
I am excited to be a director for the AHAA and I am looking forward to giving back to an organization from which I have received a world of kindness, help, and encouragement. The people of the AHAa are truly one of a kind! |
