Nationals Results

We sent five HRPC girls to the Nationals in Lexington, Kentucky to compete in the Quiz portion of the championships.  There were over thirty teams in the Sr. D and Jr. D divisions.  They competed in the rain, heat and cold.  The Sr. D team: Megan S. (captain), Rachel L. and Megan H. placed 11th.  The Jr. D team:  Jessica E. and Kayleigh R. placed 10th.  The competition was tough and we are very proud of our girls.

Eventing Rally 2004 June 4-6

 The Eventing Rally was at beautiful Meadowcreek Park in Kosse, Texas, again this year. However, this year we had very little rain in comparison to the 2003 rally. Our team consisted of: Kayleigh R. (HM & captain), Megan S. on Bronson, Megan H. on Jolie, Rachel L. on Louie and Jessica E. on Corkie. They placed second in the D rally and in horse management. WAY TO GO!

 More impressive than the ribbons, was the team spirit. When one member was minutes away from her formals and her boots, jods and belt were in the hotel room, Megan S. had her formal inspection, went back to the stall, untacked her horse, and stripped her clothes off to give to her teammate. Everyone made their formal inspection on time and no points were lost.

 The team spirit continued when Megan S. ripped the seat out of her breeches while watching some of the competition.  Lesson learned: don't sit on a big cross country jump in your jods. Again the team spirit showed. This time Jessica E. had extra jods and came to the rescue. 

 The ribbons were great. The weather was great. The team and their solutions to problems was AWESOME! You made us all very proud of you.

Dressage Results 2004

 What a great weekend for a Dressage Rally. Can you believe it did NOT rain? The weekend was not without excitement though. Rachel L. was kicked by a horse during her warm-up for her first ride. Unfortunately she had to scratch that ride, but was able to continue with the rally. She resumed riding that afternoon. Even with that missed ride, our team finished 3rd. The team also tied for first in Horse Management. WAY TO GO! Make sure you congratulate them when you see them the next time.

CONGRATULATIONS

 Quiz Rally was AWESOME. We had three of our group earn perfect scores of 153 points: Megan S., Megan H. and Rachel L. All three will be going to Kentucky for Nationals. Jessica E. and Kayleigh R. also qualified for Nationals and will be going.

The Senior D team won first place. The Junior D's won a first and two second's. Rachel L.'s team won fourth in Senior D. We are so proud of all of you!
