We look forward to welcoming many members to the
USPC
Annual Meeting in New Orleans, January 27 - 29, 2012. Hope to see you
there. There will be many interesting presentations to enjoy and many
fellow members to meet! Don't miss it!
In July, USPC welcomed 277 competitors/56 teams to
Eventing Championships and Festival 2011! All the competitors were
thrilled to ride their dressage test in the Rolex Arena, and test the
footing on the Rolex XC course. Congratulations to all who made the
journey to Kentucky!
Thank you to all the volunteers who weathered the heat and put in many
hours of hard work. From the National Office Staff, the Organizing
Committee, Horse Management staff to the volunteer parents – we could not
have done this without you!
Competitors are always so excited to have competed in
Championships with their friends. They feel a deep sense of accomplishment
by being there. So much about Championships is the preparation and the
journey. What is really striking about the young people who made the
journey to Championships are the skills they developed along the way:
skills that include organization, tenacity, people skills through team
play, sportsmanship along with the horsemanship. For some, it is the
ability to deal with adversity, to make a decision, or advocate for
themselves. Lifelong friendships have been forged and childhood memories
created. In every sense it was character building. But in a word it was
FUN! |
