Please be sure to read the Rules of Year End Awards here.

(8/5/2019) Update: Our deadline for signing up for Year End Awards for 2019 was August 1. The Year End Awards committee will consider hardship registration of anyone who wishes to sign up before October 1 on a case by case basis, at a fee that will include awards sponsorship for a division.

Please thank our new Points Registrar Seanna for her great work in providing updated and refreshed point standings! Check it often and remember to get your VOLUNTEER HOURS done in order for your points to count. Don't wait til the end of the year!

We will be publishing new and updated trophy sponsorship this fall. Many thanks to Mary Grace who is spearheading the effort to update and rebuild our year end awards program. Great stuff coming!

VERY IMPORTANT - you MUST volunteer 8 hours in order to receive your awards! There are a lot of riders with points in high places...but you have red lines! That means your volunteer hours are not completed yet and you are not eligible for your award. Don't let all that hard work go! You only have September, October, and a small part of November to fix that so be sure you sign up to volunteer at your favorite event. Go to www.eventingvolunteers.com to see which days work for you. If your event does NOT organize volunteers through this website, it is acceptable to send in a signed form, located in the Forms link on the right. (You don't need to do both. Our points keeper can see your confirmed hours in the eventingvolunteers.com website.)

The event took place at The Event at Rebecca Farms, in Kalispell, MT. over July 24-28, 2019. More pictures and the whole story at the Young Riders page.

We are deeply saddened at the loss of our Team Member Ashley Stout, and her horse Avant Garde. We will be honoring her at the Adequan North American Youth Championship three-day event presented by Gotham North, at The Event at Rebecca Farm, Kalispell, MT., July 24-28, 2019. We thank and appreciate the Stout Family's gesture to express remembrances through donations to the Area II Young Riders program. #ride4Ashley

Shared on behalf of the Stout Family:

***In honor of Ashley, all fellow riders are encouraged to wear formal competition attire (sans helmet) to the services.

A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered. Please join us as we celebrate the life of Ashley Stout. Friends will be received from 2:00PM-4:00PM and 6:00PM-8:00PM on Monday, July 15, 2019 at Koch Funeral Home (2401 S. Atherton Street, State College). The funeral service will be at 11:00AM on Tuesday, July 16, 2019 at Good Shepherd Catholic Church (867 Grays Woods Blvd, Port Matilda) with a luncheon to follow. Ashley’s passion for riding and for her beloved horse, Grady, drove her young life. For this reason, in lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to Area 2 Young Riders Program in Ashley's name.

• Teams of 3-5 horses (minimum 2 riders)

Here’s something new and exciting: Area II has over a dozen horse trials scheduled to hold the new “Modified” division this year! Modified has been on the books a few years, but it’s taken course builders and organizers a few years to ramp up new cross-country jumps for the courses, which are set in height between Training Level and Preliminary level. It looks like Area II will be offering the most Modified competitions in the nation this year!

Are you considering Modified this year? It’s a great fit for those who are competent at Training level, but perhaps don’t have the time to condition their horse for the increased speeds and distances of the Preliminary requirements, or have other reasons to keep to the 3’5” basic height parameters of the Modified division.

From Jenni Autry 

Thank You to everyone who came out to Joseph Murphy Eventing's December clinic at Kealani Farm. It was a jam-packed three days that also conincided with the USEA Area II Annual Meeting, and we had a very full house on Saturday with a slew of people coming out to watch his training demo. We also received a number of generous donations from auditors in support of Jonty Evans and his continued recovery. Thank you to Melissa Stubenberg, Gwen Kriskie, Mike, Juan, and the entire Kealani team for being so wonderful to work with, and a special shout-out goes to the entire Erika Nesler Equestrian team for being jump crew superstars. Last but certainly not least, my horse is a LEGEND.
