I am also pleased to announce that  have been confirmed as a member of the Ethics Committee, Chaired by Dan Dalke. This committee is charged with responding and researching complaints related to USAWE ethics issues. These types of incidents are far and few between, but must be promptly and fairly responded to according to our bylaws, policies and procedures. As a long time participant in Working Equitation, I am honored to serve in this capacity.

I am looking forward to spring: Here’s to less barn construction and more riding time.
