I am happy to report Region VI has gained members this year. There are six more members than 2017. They are from Iowa and Wisconsin. One is young Astrid Skarsten , who rode in the USEF Pony Finals this August showing DRF PeachesNCream, bred by Janet Johnson of Dayton Ridge Farm,WI. In 2017, Astrid and Peach won awards too numerous to mention while competing in the Wisconsin Hunter Jumper Circuit, with 2018 looking just as fruitful.
The printed version of the 2018 Membership Directory had a duplicated page 12 and missing page 13. The on-line directories are correct, and a pdf of pages 12-13 will be uploaded to the members section of this website.
Riley and his Connemara pony Willow's Aslan won the ADS North American Preliminary Single Pony Championship over the weekend. This is his first Connemara pony.
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.
