President's Message

Hi Everyone!

I am in the midst of adjusting myself to being your new EDCTSA president. I was president a few years ago, but somehow I don’t remember having so many responsibilities as I do currently. I’m starting to get used to it, and things are smoothing out.

I would like to thank Tricia Hooten and the 2009 board for all their hard work. On Monday, March 1st, we had the first meeting with the new board. We have a great lineup of shows starting with the March 13th date @ Williamston. Keep in mind that we need volunteers for all of our shows. The hours served will earn eligibility for year end prizes in our club and may also earn volunteer cards for NCDCTA.

We also need volunteers for the EDCTSA benefit show in September., which benefits our club and awards. Please volunteer whenever you can. Together we can do things better! We are going to be adding a new award to our end-of-year awards. It’s the Sport Horse Versatility 2-phase class. Your dressage test for this class can also qualify for year-end dressage awards. Keep an eye on the EDCTSA calendar for upcoming clinics and social events. If there’s something you’d like to see us offer this year, please contact me or come to a monthly board meeting. It’s gonna be a great year!

Happy riding to all.
Jackie Acha
EDCTSA President
