- Meredith McGrath and her Oldenburg mare, Wait for Me "Mia" won one first, 2 seconds and 3 fifths at Dressage at Lexington at second level and a first level free style. Their scores qualify them for BLM championships and the USDF Region I Championship. They were also chosen to ride at the Arthur Kottas Clinic at Ashanti Farm, in Gordonsville the end of July. Arthur Kottas is the former First Chief Rider of the Spanish Riding School In Vienna Austria.
- Meredith McGrath and her Oldenburg mare, Mia, "Wait For Me", won 2 firsts and 3 seconds at the recognized show in Tyron, N.C. 6/24 - 6/25. They showed second level with scores averaging 60% and received a 68% for their first level freestyle. This will help qualify them for USDF Regional Championships and the BLM free style championships.
- Nancy Stone and her Friesian gelding, Eef, competed at Dressage at Lexington, earning a 2nd and 3rd at Training level (average ~ 70.75%), and a 2nd and 4th at First Level (average ~ 64.32%), qualifying for BLM and USDF Region I Championships. Now she's just waiting for pigs to fly before she tows a horse trailer nine hours to Allentown, New Jersey!
- The following is from Ryan Eskridge, member of the 2006 Region 1 Young Rider Dressage Team along with Madison Cloninger, Jennifer Sirrine, and Ana DiGironimo. I am sorry for such short notice, as the NAYRC competition is in two weeks in Lexington, VA Aug. 1-6, but the Region 1 team is trying to get sponsorships for the competition as it is up to us for all payments, fundraisers, and sponsorships. We have a banner that will hold all of the sponsors we receive. I was just wondering if you would be interested in sponsoring your very own Region 1 team in any way, shape, or form. You can reach me, Ryan Eskridge, by email, ryerye1417@hotmail.com, or by cell phone, 803-287-2302 at any time. We would greatly appreciate any help we can get!
