SECONDVOLUNTEERSWORKSHOP Friday, May 28th 10 :00-1 :00 Old Lyme Town Hall

1982 SHOWRECORD Handicapped Equitation Command Classes were included in three recognized shows this Spring, At the Colll:lecticut Valley Pony Club Show on April 25th, the following riders competed: John Broderick, John Morris, Debbie Mason, John Davis, Karen Eckstrom, Steve Chadwick, Dennis Fitzpatrick, Jenny Hotchkiss and George Decosta.

On May 2nd Becky Mohr, Stacey Bromund and Christopher Foucaud rode in the Westbrook Hunt Club Show, The Children's Services Horse Show on Sunday May 16 Jenny Hotchkiss, Karen Eckstrom, Kurt Ziemann and Lynn Barnes and Lisa Boyb competed against four riders from other programs, Whereas there have been mixed reactions to our entering the "show circuit," by and large the riders have benefited by the experience and certainly the world has had a little more exposure to therapeutic riding, The most positive result is the recommendation of Rot Ferguson, President of CHSA, that all CHSA Shows include a Handicapped Equitation Command Class, rules for the class and guidelines for the judge to be submitted to CHSA by Nat Bieber.

Bring

We are indebted to Natalie Bieber, who coordinated a masterful program which came off without a hitch.
