Greetings Region 8!
Congratulations to all who participated in the Region 8 Championships last weekend – whether you were a rider, trainer, or volunteer, the weekend was a great success. And further congratulations to everyone who is planning their trip to the Finals in Kentucky! I’ll see you there…
You must enter the Finals (in addition to nominating which was due on September 28) and can click here: https://www.horseshowoffice.com/hso/enter2.asp?cid=22&showid=671&HideAddNew=1
And don’t forget to enter for high score breed awards – information here:
Thank you to everyone who participated in the silent auction to raise funds to help offset the PM Delegates’ travel to the Convention. It was very successful!
There are still a few tickets available for the 2023 Absorbine/NEDA Symposium with Kyra Kyrklund at Mt. Holyoke the weekend of October 14-15. This year’s Symposium will run in a slightly different format than prior years, with Kyra selecting training topics for each horse and rider team over the course of two days. The topics will build on each other throughout the course of the weekend so the auditors will have a clear progression of Kyra’s training philosophy. Further information is available here: https://neda.org/page/2023Symposium
The Convention schedule has now been posted at https://www.usdf.org/convention/Conv2023Agenda062223.pdf?t=6/30/2023%209:53:09%20PM. Please consider attending. Without our attendance and input, USDF has no way of knowing what is important to us.
Some other dates to look forward to include:
11/9-11/12 USDF Dressage Finals
11/29-12/2 2023 Adequan/USDF Annual Convention in Omaha NE
All the best,
Helen
