New Officers for 2004

Donna Iezzi has announced her retirement from the DC position after six years of wonderful leadership for our club.  At the Annual MidSouth meeting on November 8, she was presented with the Gail Christianson Award, which is given to an outstanding volunteer in the MidSouth Region.  The trophy is a beautiful stained glass window hanging and was in recognition for her years of service at the Rally.  She has promised to continue to be a valuable resource to Covered Bridge for upper level testings and such. Covered Bridge was very fortunate to have had such a capable and giving successor to Joy Bennett, the founder of our club.  She will be sorely missed.

 

The good news is that Sarah Cox has agreed to become our new leader, with the help of our new JtDCs, Anne Spaes and Ellen Maloney.  As one of the largest clubs in our region, it is essential that we have parents who are willing to step into leadership roles and allow us to continue the great tradition of Covered Bridge.  Please give them a warm thank you for answering ‘The Call’.

 IMPORTANT DATE CHANGE:

Festival 2004 has been moved to July 19^th –July 27^th.  If you qualify for the National Championships at Quiz or at Rally, you need to keep these dates free.  Eventing Championships start at the Novice level, but you must be a C2 at the time of Rally in order to be eligible.  Quiz qualifiers must be 10 years old as of Jan.1 of 2004.  All events will be held at the Horse Park.

We have three members who are graduating this year.  All three have contributed greatly to our club and each one has successfully represented the ideals of the United States Pony Club in her own way.  They will be presented with Joy Bennett Awards at the Holiday Party.

Lauren Rose - attends University of Kentucky.  Lauren attended Rally many times in Show Jumping and Eventing divisions.  She taught mounted meetings for years at Alta Vista and volunteered her mother to be the Barn Mom after she went to college so that those meetings would continue!  She currently is training a new, green horse in her “spare” time.

 

Stacy Hoehle – attends Centre College.  She was a member of one of the International Games teams that competed in Europe several years ago.  She and her horse, Dreamcatcher, were frequent participants at mounted meetings and local shows over the years.

2003 Championships East

Virginia Horse Center, Lexington, VA

August, 2003

 

Covered Bridge sent two kids to Eastern Championships this year, and they both did wonderfully! We are very proud of them  :>)

 

 Games:

Cassie Greiling and her team mate from Long Run PC, Leigh Montgomery, finished 3^rd  in the Advanced Games Division.  They also got 5^th in Horse Management.  Cassie, her sister Sara and her mother Liz Englert have been the backbone of our Games teams for many years.  It is a great sport and we need to schedule more Games meetings at our barns while we still have this great family as a sport resource.

 

 Quiz:

Kim Heptinstall and her fellow MidSouth teammates finished 6^th out of 21 teams in the Senior D Division at Quiz Championships.  Quiz is extremely challenging at this level and this finish represents one of our best ever.
