Program Privileges
Hello All Area I ARP members,
The event season is upon us and I would like to take this time to introduce you to Heidi
Beaumont. Heidi is co-chairing the program this year and will take over in 2009. Heidi is an
active competitor, so if you have the chance please introduce yourselves to her. She is a
great asset to the program and has contributed tremendously during my time as coordinator.
The ARP is sponsoring ribbons and prizes at five events this season, please check the
calendar for those events.
The ARP will again host a competitors BBQ at GMHA. This year we have chosen the June H.T.
Please volunteer your time for this fundraiser. We have had loads of fun as grill masters
while making money to support the clinics we sponsor.
This year, Groton House is generously hosting the Adult Team Challenge. We have upgraded the
format to include Elementary and Preliminary divisions. Please gather up your friends and
form a team. All you need is three rider/horse combinations. This year we are requiring Team
participants be members, so if you haven’t already please JOIN NOW!!!! Along with the Team
Challenge, the ARP will host a hospitality tent which will include merchandise and used tack
sale as well as a place to relax with fellow ARP members. Those who join us are going to
have the opportunity to throw their names in a hat for some fun door prizes.
We are continuing to sponsor as many clinics as we have funds available, including Jimmy
Wofford, Lucinda Green and Craig Thompson. Please check our calendar
as well as the clinics page and join us in
these fun and educational clinics.
We look forward to seeing you this year.
Sincerely,
Cindy Strate
