REGION 5
By: Sara Barnwell — Region 5 Director
Hello Region 5 Friends! This past month has been so exciting with several members participating in the Eastern Zone show in Tennessee. Our Region 5 team, including two awesome youth riders (at L2 and L4), had a great time and were strong competitors with our Region 6 and 7 friends. Please see our Facebook page – USA Working Equitation – Region 5 – where I will be following up with additional updates and posts about this show. We also just had a large show with two judges in Illinois where we had several new competitors! It is great to see so many people joining our WE community! I have a feeling that next year is going to be INCREDIBLE with all the growth across the region!!
Speaking of next year, I know there are a lot of moving pieces, but we are starting to get shows penciled in for next year. As you have plans in place, please keep me posted so we can all start to collaborate (and share with our neighboring regions). I am happy to start promoting shows once licenses are in place (along with clinics or other events!)
Please be sure to participate in the upcoming USAWE election – your input is important as we elect new directors and officers to the Board for next year. As a reminder, regional directors are elected every two years so we aren’t voting for a Region 5 Director this year – that position will be back on the ballot next year!
As always, please reach out to me if you have any questions, need additional information or if you want to chat! You can reach me on Facebook or email (r5director@usawe.org).
