Midwest Region Hosts Midwest & Cimarron Regions Eventing Rally

My apologies!  Your Cimarron blogger has been down with a cold!!  Please contact Michele asap!  Cimarron received this follow-up on Feb. 9:

This is who I have heard from so far regarding our qualifying Eventing Rally interest this year.  Again,we needed to know whether your pony clubbers were planning on qualifying or not so we could plan.  Jackie myself and the Longview organizers are having a planning meeting this Sunday so if you have not responded please do so.
 
These are the clubs I have heard from, not very many.  I apologize if you had responded to me and I missed you.  Alot of irons in the fire......please resend .

Original Notice from Michele (early February):


DEAR Cimarron DC's: 

I am once again taking on the Organizing position for Eventing Rally although should be a little lower key...champs did me in for a month last summer!!  I will work closely with the MCPC HT Organizer Michelle Ptak to bring you a wonderful experience and do all we can to help get you qualified!!  Jackie Babcock, our Eventing Rally Secretary will be the one you will make sure she has all of your rally paper work in and on time and can help set up teams if needed.  I have copied her in on this email.  Because this is a recognized USEA Trials you will need to follow the criteria they need and send your entries in to them which in turn will send to us.  Jackie works very close with Courtney the recognized HT secretary.

Eventing Rally is for ALL pony clubbers whether they want to qualify or not just so there are no confusions.  Because you are traveling out of region you need to have your RS send a letter of recommendation to Joy Poling our Midwest Region RS.  Entries will not be considered unless this is done.  That's a great task to get started on right now if you think you are thinking about qualifying!!  If they want to qualify they need to meet the criteria rating, age etc for the level BN - Prelim for which they want to qualify for.  We will have those rules documented so there are no confusions in the packet we will email you in the next 3 weeks.  See the eventing rule book for more details and don't hesitate to call me with questions...this is a BIG year for all these kiddos!

***I need from you all by Feb 10th a list of how many candidates you anticipate will be competing in eventing rally this year qualifiers as well as non qualifiers.  We are trying to make stall plans and need to see where we are at so thereis no surprises as this is a BIG year.  We will work out of tack trailers to save $$.


Barb from Northern Lakes Region,

I thought some of this information would help you out as well and will make sure get the rally packet emailed to you when we get it all together in the next few weeks.  I will put you down as needing 6 possible stalls.


Thanks all,

Michele Taylor
