Last week?s UPHA/American Royal National Championships in Kansas City marked the end of the 2003 horse show season for many Saddlebred horse competitors, including Bill and Elizabeth. They showed four Saddlebred horses and came away with three first place ribbons?a marvelous accomplishment! Bill and Liz have earned top ribbons in over a half a dozen highly competitive horse shows in and around Kentucky the last few months, the most prestigious of which was the World Championships held in Louisville, Kentucky in late August.

On Labor Day weekend, over 700 paintball enthusiasts took part in SPPLAT Attack II at EMR Paintball Park in picturesque New Milford, Pennsylvania. This year’s event pitted the Cavalry (commanded by William Shatner) and the Posse (led by Eric "Mancow" Muller) against the Cyborgs (commanded by Tom Kaye) and the Raiders (led by Glenn Palmer). In the end, the Cavalry/Posse prevailed, but the real winners were the Hollywood Charity Horse Show children’s charities that the event benefited.

On Sunday, August 3rd, Bill appeared at Creation Entertainment’s second annual Las Vegas Star Trek convention. It was held at the Las Vegas Hilton, home of Star Trek: The Experience. Creation Entertainment put together a complete Star Trek experience for fans again this year. With an impressive guest list from the original series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise, there was something for everyone.

Bill’s o­n the move again this Summer appearing at conventions, competing in horse shows and preparing for the SPPLAT Attack II paintball charity event. If you’ve been looking for a chance to see him in person, the next 5-6 weeks will present a number of fun and different opportunities.

<font face="Arial" size="2">It&#39;s about the children...The 13th Annual Wells Fargo Hollywood Charity Horse Show was just that--about the children. As many of you know, William Shatner&#39;s commitment to putting o&shy;n this annual event to help raise money for local children&#39;s charities is something he does lovingly and with unparalleled energy. We are happy to report that this year&#39;s show was a success in every aspect!</font>

It was a dream come true for many, the opportunity to meet William Shatner in an informal setting and spend some time with him. Such occurrences are rare, but Bill has always taken time out to participate in his authorized fan club&#39;s annual gathering. This year was no exception.
