Update From the Area 1 Chair
I hope this June day finds you and your loved healthy and happy. The days are longer and with the great weather we can get out and about playing with our ponies.

This is particularly hitting the ARP Educational Voucher Program, the Classic Series Voucher Program and the Cindy Burrage ICP program. I am … [Read More]

Aiken Envy
Hillori Connors is an amateur adult from Topsfield, MA who enjoys competing at the lower levels of eventing in Area 1. Her horse is Chantilly All Quality (aka Fig), an 8 year old, 17 hh ISH gelding that she has had for almost 1 year.
