You might have already seen an email from the USEF about the aftermath of the tornados in the Southeast. The SNHDCTA board was moved to remind members about how we can help. Thank you and happy riding! 

From the USEF: The duo of tornadic storms that devastated the southeast United States last week left a wake of splintered wood, shattered glass, downed power lines, despair and shock for the residents of towns like West Liberty, Kentucky and Harrisburg, Illinois to clean up and recover from. As if that weren't enough, one of the region's heaviest snowfalls of the year came down on Sunday night and further hindered an already difficult recovery process. For some effected residents the physical and monetary burdens of recovery are intensified by the need to care for their horse or horses. It is in times like these that the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) calls on you to aid them by donating to the USEF Equine Disaster Relief Fund. 

Donations may be made online at www.usef.org by going tohttps://www.usef.org/_AUAIFrames/DisasterRelief/DisasterRelief.aspx.

If you wish to contribute by check, please make it out to the USEF Equine Disaster Relief Fund and mail it to: The United States Equestrian Federation, 4047 Iron Works Parkway, Lexington, KY 40511.

SNHDCTA is lucky enough to have Steuart Pittman, Jr back for a 2nd year for our combined training clinic.  The venue we picked for this years clinic is great for all levels; Green Acres Stables in Madbury, NH.  Whether you are experienced or just wanting to "try out CT" Green Acres has something for you.  They have tiny logs, to water, to steps, ditches - so this is a GREAT place to come if you've never evented before but always thought you would want to.

Steuart loves working with all levels of riders, but he especially likes to work with beginner riders and green horses.  If this describes you or your mount, this is the clinic for you.  His laid back but experienced way of teaching will have you pushing yourself.  Look forward to seeing you all there.
