The Rozo Award
EXCITING NEWS FOR ALL ADULT RIDERS!
The Area I Adult Riders Program is sponsoring a scholarship in memory of Rozo McLaughlin.
This scholarship is going to be awarded ANNUALLY (beginning August 2007) to the best

enjoyed teaching adult riders; "The Rozo Award" will provide scholarship funds to be used

to raise the $6000 necessary to permanently endow the scholarship. We encourage everyone
to participate and donate to this fitting memorial of Rozo, a great friend and horsewoman.

We also had one individual, Clarissa Edelston, join the Area 4 team of Blond Pirate Treasure Booty
Team finishing 3rd in the Novice division.
"Although I was flying under the radar as I felt a little guilty to be on
an Area II team, I am really an Area I person, and I was so pleased
with my mare Pearl's performance at the ATC at Virginia last week,
that I just wanted to be sure that her efforts were not completely
unremarked. We were on the third place Training team, an all pinto
team called Spot On, it was Pearl's first event in two years, and she
and I both had a completely delightful time. I would highly recommend
this as a more than worthwhile adventure in the future to anyone even
half tempted to make the journey down from Area I next year. It was
fabulous! Thanks" - Karen McCollom
