If you compete your purebred or halfbred ACPS registered Connemara at USEF recognized shows, you might be in the running for a USEF Horse of the Year (HOTY) Award in the Connemara divisions! The points earned when you place in recognized competition count towards your standing in the Connemara HOTY categories, even if the show you competed at was open to all breeds.
To all ACPS Junior Members,
ACPS is again teaming up with US Equestrian to offer a scholarship program to support the continuing education of Junior Members and their Connemara partners. It is a way for you to add a clinic, a lesson with a professional, or other educational experience that you feel will further your skills and aspirations.
So think about a persuasive paragraph telling us about your special Connemara partner and submit it with the information listed on the application. Share one or two photographs if you would like. Submit to Troutranch@metrocast.net by September 1 with Junior Scholarship in the subject line.
Do you know a fantastic Connemara or halfbred Connemara that is 15 years of age or older, or deceased that has had an outstanding career both competitive and non-competitive? If so, it's time to nominate for the following Hall of Fame Awards. Owners should nominate their own ponies. If you need help, please contact Donna Miller at donna@hiddencreekhorses.com <mailto:donna@hiddencreekhorses.com>. Here is a short description of the Awards. More details may be found on the ACPS website at the following link: ACPS Awards <http://acps.org/connemara-awards/awards>
REGION 1 FIELD DAY AT ROUND ROBIN FARM
Dear ACPS Members:
Happy summer!
The Strategic Planning committee of the ACPS is hard at work drafting a road map to make our wonderful organization even better, and to better serve the needs of our members.
The American Connemara Pony Society has accepted an invitation to show off our ponies during the Breed Demonstrations taking place in conjunction with this year’s Land Rover Kentucky Three Day Event, April 26-29 in Lexington, Kentucky. 2018 marks the 40th Anniversary of this premier Event and 20 years since being elevated to the only 4* in the country. Attendance numbers in 2017 were 80,000.
