From Eileen Kenney:
Participants in the “r” Judge Training Program for Eventing Officials – B & C Jumping Training Program, taken today at the Fox River Valley Pony Club HT, CIC* and CCI* in Barrington, Ill. OUTSTANDING teaching and wealth of information through experience given by Panelists Sally Ike & Cindy DePorter. New officials coming through the program will be taking their final testing for their Judges Certification in September 2013, setting up the USEF/USEA with upcoming Judges and TD’s for our future sport.

Taylor McFall at Shepherd Ranch.
From Jen McFall:
What a gem Shepherd Ranch is! Tucked away in the Santa Ynez Valley, surrounded by wineries, estates, and great shopping, there is something for everyone at this show. Our daughter, Taylor, was showered in fabulous prizes offered at this show. She finished sixth in her Open Intro class, she won the Legis Optimum Time Award, and also a championship ribbon for the highest placed Pony Club member, representing the Deer Creek Pony Club. I’m pretty sure she will walk back to this show if she has to! Thank you, Shepherd Ranch, for making her year!

Former Advanced level eventer Dobbin and Corinne Ashton completed a Grand Prix Test scoring 56.48% in the FEI Test Of Choice Class and finished in 2nd place at the Potomac Valley Dressage Association Ride for Life Show yesterday in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. I award Corrine the “diamond dressage tiara” for doing an FEI test in a SNAFFLE bit!
