Dressage Schooling Show a Success!! Despite the whacky weather, Saturday's Dressage Schooling Show was a success! Although very chilly and a little breezy, the rain and snow did not rear their precipitous heads, so no one got wet! The old stadium field served as our de facto dressage ring, and the footing was surprisingly sturdy and not muddy.Cheryl Holekamp was a lovely judge, and we enjoyed having her there. We look forward to her judging at the Horse Trials this fall! A BIG THANKS to the volunteers who helped make it the success it was!

USEA Members – Share Your Voice and Opinion! The USEA Board will be conducting a strategic planning session in Leesburg, Virginia this Friday and Saturday, March 21 and 22. A topic for this meeting will be the safety concerns we all are having in the aftermath of the Red Hills Horse Trials, as well as the fatalities from the last year's season. Please take the time to read this letter from USEA President Kevin Baumgardner on the USEA site. Now is the time that all competitors, no matter what level you ride, need to speak up and share your concerns. |
Triva Night a Roaring Success! QPEE is hard–pressed to find the words to say "THANK YOU!!!!" to everyone who attended and supported our Trivia Night Extravaganza! We exceeded our goals for the evening, which allows us to buy, free and clear, our tractor!!! This purchase greatly reduces QPEE's operating costs, and gives us more freedom on our course to move jumps, clear debris, mow...Besides the success of the evening, it was FUN! The questions posed by Emcee Lei Ruckle were tough and thoughtful, the runners were quick to collect score sheets and the judges were quick to judge!! The Live Auction, Emceed by our tractor guru Terry Rehma, was exciting and filled with many great items; the Silent Auction was just as exciting, but a little quieter! QPEE would like to personally thank the following people for all the lovely donations to our evening: Tractor Fund Seed Donors

Happy New Year from QPEE! For QPEE, the new year started out with a bang! We must have been good little equestrians, because Santa made it possible for us to get a tractor and a brush hog for a VERY reasonable cost! Several generous donors gave us enough money to pay for half of the equipment, and we cannot thank them enough! By owning our own tractor and brush hog, QPEE can do our own mowing and jump moving whenever we like, without having to hire labor to do it. This results in a huge cost saving for our organization (and ultimately, YOU, the competitor/participant!), as well as the freedom to change the course, move debris out of the way....THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPORT QPEE! |
