May 2007
Summer is almost here and hopefully everyone is enjoying the spring
weather. We would like to give everyone a quick update on our annual
USHJA “Super Clinic” that was held in Zone 2 as well as
update everyone on the upcoming Zone specification drafts. As always,
we welcome any input. Please send any questions or comments to Melissa
Pylant at mpylant@ushja.org. Thank you and have a great summer!
Super Clinic
The annual USHJA “Super Clinic” was held in Zone 2 during
the month of April at Suffolk County Farm in Long Island, NY and
was hosted by Zone 2 Hunter Committee Chair Jim Rice. We were proud
to have top professional riders Norman Dello Joio and Danny Robertshaw
as our clinicians. Over the two days of excellent instruction we
saw over 50 participants as well as many spectators. We have had
a tremendous response to this clinic and we have had numerous requests
for similar clinics, especially in the northern and western parts
of Zone 2.
With so many requests, we would like to ask that if anyone is
interested in planning and hosting a clinic in Zone 2, that they
please contact Melanie Fransen at mfransen@ushja.org. Assistance
is available for hiring clinicians as well as for organizing and
promoting the clinic. This is a great opportunity to really get
involved in your zone.
Zone Specifications
The Zone 2 Hunter and Jumper Committees will be finalizing a draft
of the zone specifications to be placed on the USHJA Zone 2 website
for everyone to view and comment on. These drafts are due on July
1 and will be posted on the website shortly thereafter. We are asking
all Zone 2 members for their input, suggestions and concerns so
that we can make the 2008 zone specifications better for our members.
Because of the difficulty in scheduling forums that are convenient
for a wide range of our members, we would like to try using email
instead. Please send your comments to Melissa Pylant at mpylant@ushja.org.
