To recognize our members’ accomplishments throughout the Eventing season, the Area 1 Young Rider Program is thrilled to announce the launch of the Area 1 Young Rider Cup in Memory of Jessica Halliday presented by North Bridge Equine. A perpetual trophy will be awarded to a Young Rider who has received the singular best final score of the competition season at any event held within Area 1. Scores from the Starter through the Advanced level will be accepted. The trophy will be awarded each year during the Area 1 Annual Meeting held in January.
“North Bridge Equine Associates is honored to present this perpetual trophy to honor the memory of our dear friend Jessica Halliday. The youth of our sport was close to her heart and she was a great supporter and mentor to many Area 1 young riders. North Bridge Equine is proud to provide the highest quality veterinary care to every equine athlete and we look forward to supporting the young riders of Area 1, the future of our sport.” said Fred Nostrant DVM, senior partner of North Bridge Equine Associates of Concord, MA.
“Area 1 is so grateful to North Bridge Equine for sponsoring this young rider award in Jessica Halliday’s name. Jess Halliday was absolutely dedicated to teaching and coaching young riders and we know she would be thrilled to see a young rider be rewarded for a great achievement,” said Judy Rossi, Chair of Area 1, and Melanie Loschiavo, Young Rider Program Coordinator.
