President/Treasurer, Founding Member, Lisa Kay (Mona Lisa Cowgirl)

Lisa Kay is President of the new club in Southern California. With her husband Nick She was inspired by the World Champion Annie Ellett back in December of 2008. I have been riding all my life and wanted to get back into a competitive equestrian sport, I had told Nick I wanted to try the Mounted Shooting as I had a neighbor that used to do it. On our way to Vegas for NFR he bought me Shooting Horse Magazine. When I read the article about Annie in Shooting Horse Magazine I thought it sounded like a really fun sport. A few months later I was buying a mounted shooting horse and doing all kinds of research about the sport. With my horse Blue, it is by far one of the most fun and competitive equestrian events I have ever done! 

 

Nick Kay is Vice President of SoCal CMSA with his wife Lisa, he started Mounted Shooting just back in April of 2009. Even though he is new to riding all together he has really taken to the sport. With his trusty Steed Smokey, also new to Mounted shooting, The two have made a great pair. Nick has been in construction his whole life, specializing in Concrete Tilt Up Buildings. As an avid hunter the combination of the guns with the riding is really what hooked him.

Founding Member, Valerie Schluter (Diamond Gal Val)

Been riding all my life...my parents got me my first horse at age 4....but started riding mounted shooting with my brother since 2006 after the exhibition of the mounted Shooting at our World Paint Horse Show the previous year in Texas. Lost my paint horse mare last July at age 28, we had had her since she was 10...she is the one in the photo, but I usually ride my brothers quarter horses..he is a level 3 and does rifle as well. Been active in Real Estate sale since 1979, we use to own Golden West Realtors in Chino, now my husband and I work for ourselves just a family operation in Yorba Linda and list and sell in all five southern counties but handle primarily the north Orange County areas. I am married for 30 years this year and a mother of three, two sons  and a daughter, a grandmother of three ages 2, 4  & 7 and a fourth due this month. We have traded showing all around horses for many years to showing dogs; a Doberman Pinscher and German Pinscher  that we have successfully done Conformation, Agility, Rally and Obedience and currently Schutzhund training with. Hopefully after the arrival of our fourth grandchild we will look to replace our horse maybe by the summer, with another paint but an older gelding so we can get the grand kids involved again. Hope to get out and watch you all til then.
