National Ratings

More rating news: We truly wish that we could say that all our upper level candidates met Standards but we can definitely say that each and every candidate presented herself well and can be proud of her work. Good sportsmanship and sharing was very notable.

These are our members with new National ratings:

C3 traditional: Ann Bellinger (RBPC) , Hayley Galloway (LHPC), Amy Giordano (DRPC) and Amy Brown (RRPC)

C3 Dressage: Rachel Fanta (CWPC)

A Dressage: Brandi Benedict (RRPC)

We did not have any B candidates.

National Examiners came from California, Texas, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Delaware and New York.

Candidates came from the Capital, Carolina, Maryland, and Old Dominion Region, Intermountain as well as Virginia. It was great to see how so many strangers, probably because of their Pony Club commonality, could become a team and accomplish so much in such a short time. The support system of parents and friends helped everyone.

We are very grateful to our Impartial Observers -- Marion Miller (good to have you again!), Pat Leins, Lynne Giordano, and Lesley Mills.

We also had fine cuisine available at all times because of River Bend helpers Dawn Bellinger and Virginia LaRocque -- Thank you!
