Members of Area II, don't forget about the Area II Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon this Sunday, January 13 from 8 to 4:30 p.m. at Carradoc Hall in the Holiday Inn in Leesburg, Virginia. We have interesting sessions for everyone with great speakers. For Adult Riders there will be a meeting to discuss this year’s expectations and activities. For the NAJYRC candidates you will get to meet with the new coordinators and hear what is expected for this year. For YRAP riders it will be a chance to meet with the new coaches and hear about this year’s pilot program as well as the other activities. We will also have presentations on dressage judging, the new reinvigorated FEH and YEH programs, how to be groom for top riders, dealing with joint problems, and nutrition. In addition to our awards presentation at lunch, we will have short presentations on David O'Connor's new approach for U.S. eventing, FEI rider licensing, and a review of activities and finances in Area II.
Finally, we are having a silent auction for Area II horse trials entries. It is already underway online and will finish at the meeting. This is an excellent opportunity to get great deals and support the Area. There are currently 27 items to bid on.
