Congratulations to our riders on a fabulous 2011 show season!

AS the 2011 show season comes to an end, we would like to take the time to acknowledge and congratulate our riders on their major accomplishments throughout the year. We had an extremely successful season, with Champion titles at the Eastern States Dressage and Combined Training Association (ESDCTA) Championships and the Northeast PA Show Series (NPASS) Championships, Reserve Champion titles at the Colonel Benjt Linguist Memorial Championships, ESDCTA Championships and NPASS Championships, nine ESDCTA medals, two USDF medals, and a USDF All-Breeds Award. We are still awaiting the results of the Hidden Creek Perpetual Awards and the ESDCTA Year End Awards.

NPASS Championships

All of our riders rode fantastically at the third annual Northeast Pennsylvania Show Series (NPASS) Championships today! Among a bunch of fabulous results, we had six Champions and six Reserve Champions, not including our Gold and Silver Medal Quadrille Teams! It was a cold, rainy day, but despite the horrible weather our Ride 4 Hope Quadrille Challenge managed to raise over a thousand dollars for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! A huge thank you goes out to our wonderful volunteers and sponsors!
