 2/8/07  Hi Everyone, The following information is regarding upcoming events in our region,

We will have a regional inspection on April 26th at Kelly Windus' farm, Dark Horse Station. Stabling will be nearby at the Fort Rucker Equestrian Facility. For those of you who have already told me that you were interested, please email me and let me know if you are still planning on attending. We need to get the nomination paperwork in to Marynell in March and I can give you further information about the location, stabling cost and hotels.

 We will hold a Spring meeting on Saturday after the inspection for those who would like to attend.

 Our region show will be held the weekend of May 30th-June 1st at Pine Top Farm in Thompson, GA. It is a beautiful facility with an amazing cross-country course that goes through the Advanced level. We could possibly hold a cross-country clinic on Sunday a.m. for those who are interested. Please email if you think you'd like to participate a.s.a.p. There are a couple of top level eventing coaches that I could get to put on a clinic-a wonderful opportunity! We would need at least 10 participants.

Thank you, Megan B Harris, Region IV Chair  Brambleridge Farm www.bramblerigdefarm.com ugameg13@yahoo.com
