Zone II Hunter News

March 2007

As summer is nearing, we would like to announce some new and exciting things happening in Zone 2. The Hunter Committee has made a few changes and there are some exciting things going on. We plan on having monthly communications with our members and we would love our members to give us feedback and their input as well as any concerns that any of you may have. You can send these via email to Melissa Pylant at mpylant@ushja.org.

Zone 2 Committee
There have been some changes in the Zone 2 Hunter Committee. We would like to thank Jim Rice for agreeing to become the new Chair of the committee. We would also like to welcome Raymond Francis who was elected unanimously as the new Vice-Chair.

USHJA/Winner’s Circle “Super Clinic”
Zone 2 will be having a Hunter/Jumper clinic at Suffolk County Extension Farm in Yaphank, NY. This clinic is open to all Zone 2 members and features clinician Norman Dello Joio for our Jumper riders and Danny Robertshaw for our Hunter/Equitation riders. If you have any questions regarding this clinic please contact Jim Rice at 516-322-0533 or Marianne Kutner at 917-892-7249. We hope to see you there!

We would also like to see more clinics and forums held in Zone 2. Anyone who has ideas for this is asked to contact one of their representatives on the Zone 2 Hunter or Jumper Committees. You can find your committees at http://www.ushja.org/committees/zone2.shtml.

USHJA Foundation Awards
USHJA is proud to announce the inaugural year of the USHJA Foundation Awards. The goal of the awards program is to recognize the accomplishments of equestrians at the B and C level competition and to promote the B and C level horse shows. This awards program is a separate program from the USEF Horse of the Year Program. The USHJA Foundations Awards are an additional and unique awards program that you are automatically enrolled in by being a member of USHJA and competing in B and C rated competitions.

Currently Zone 2 is doing very well in the points standings and we encourage our members to check the website at http://www.ushja.org/awards/foundation.shtml to see how they are currently doing.

Once again we ask all members to submit their feedback, input and concerns to Melissa Pylant at mpylant@ushja.org. We want to hear from you! Thank you and good luck to everyone in Zone 2!
