2 The Prez Sez: Greetings All, Isn t it nice to see some green grass and birds instead of all the snow and cold weather of winter. Time to brush off all the hair and get back to riding and competing. First of all, a big THANKS to the Central Colorado Chapter of MSEA for hosting a marvelous Spring Meeting and Awards Banquet. Congratulations to all the winners! Second, a few changes have taken place between USEA Area IX and MSEA. We are no longer sharing most of the expenses and joint ventures that we have in the past. A meeting took place between MSEA officers and the Area IX council on January 23, The minutes from that meeting are later in this newsletter. But basically the two organizations no longer share a website, newsletter and a few other joint efforts that we shared for many years. It is sad to see this happen but MSEA will continue to be the communication organization that it has always been. We will also work with Area IX in everyway possible to continue to make the sport of Eventing, the great sport it is. For those of you who are new to the sport here are a few items to consider before you compete: 1) Know the rules! If you re not a member of USEA then become one. Those are the rules you must follow. Knowing the rules will help keep you from being eliminated for a rule infraction! 2) MSEA gives year-end awards in many categories. TO BE ELIGIBLE you must be a member of a MSEA chapter and your horse must be registered with MSEA! 3) Most states require that you have health certificates on all horses you are hauling. Some require coggins tests and brand inspections also. Check individual competitions for details. 4) HAVE A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL SEASON! Newsletter classifieds 35 words or less, are free for USEA/MSEA members, and MSEA Omnibus Advertisers. Classified that are ed and need no editing get preference. For website classifieds or for information on other online advertising opportunities please visit Most items can be submitted directly online and will be more timely. This is a change to the old policy.

13 PSEC Florida Report by Leslie Terry All too soon, the annual Pendragon Stud Equestrian Center trek to Florida has come full circle. Having left on February 6th, they arrived home on March 17th. Rocket, the Wilaby s mini, was taken with the big boys (and girls) when they left but didn t come back to Colorado. Ali met Laura near Ocala to take him to his new home. We will miss his fun and humorous little self terribly at the farm. That left a trailer spot open to bring home Camelot, Team PSEC s adopted horse you may have received my about. We (and I m sure Camelot, too) are grateful to the Wiedenhues family for giving this special guy the loving home he deserves. One of the purposes of the trip was to test those horse and rider teams moving up to Preliminary level this year. They include Lynden Fasso & Dene Court, Ellie Gilbertson & Idle Belles, Madeline Backus & P.S. Arianna and Kala Robbins & Rhythmic Drum. Reports are that they all did very well and look solid and confident. In addition, Madeline competed P.S. Irish Treasure at Preliminary for the first time, finishing 1st in the Rocking Horse Derby and 6th in the RH Spring Horse Trials. Many thanks to Jerry and Sandy Fasso for all of their help and support on this trip. And of course, to our fearless leader, Laura Backus. Also, after completing the hotly contested Pendragon Stud Equestrian Center s 3show Winter Hunter/Jumper series, we are proud to announce that Sophie Slade and Ben are the 2009/2010 Champions. They were awarded an embroidered "Champion" blanket. Congratulations!
