We have two big congratulations to give out to Amanada Silver and Eliza Culbertson for getting their A Pony Club rating over the weekend. The first United States Pony Club Traditional/Eventing A Rating of 2011 was held this past weekend at Jumping Branch Farm in Aiken, SC. In the picture above are the two successful candidates, brand new A Pony Clubbers: Amanda Silver of Chappaqua, NY with her horse Buckingham Place; and Eliza Culbertson (right) of Greer, SC and a much appreciated, borrowed mount, Fernhill Cove, competed by Beth Perkins and owned by Annie Eldridge. Eliza is the first Carolina Region A since 2008. Thanks to the EN tipster who might or might not be the mother of one of the new A’s for sending the info and photos.
Also, a shout-out to Ali for getting her B rating over the weekend. That officially leaves me as the only EN writer who can’t name all the vertebrae in a horse. Go eventing.
