Maui Jim Horse Trials Canceled - Wayne DuPage to Offer 1 Day Horse Trial
|
Wayne DuPage will host a 1-Day USEA Recognized Horse Trial on Sunday, July 11th in place of the Maui Jim Horse Trials which have traditionally been held in July. Wayne DuPage will offer Beginner Novice through Preliminary Levels.
Katie Lindsay, the organizer of Maui Jim Horse Trials, sent the following message to USEA:
"The Maui Jim Horse
Trials will not be running on July 8-11, 2010. A lower level one day event has been scheduled for that date, but neither Maui Jim, Inc.,
nor I will be a part of this effort.
I am saddened by this turn
of events for many reasons. It will be a loss both to the National eventing calendar and to the local eventing community who have looked
forward to competing side by side with the"big dogs." The main
reason, however, is that after many years, the very best possible team of sponsors,
volunteers, staff and officials has been put together to produce the
competition, and I will greatly miss being with you. Thank you for
the hours of work that you've put into this event, for your support,
and for the pride that
you've shown in it. It has been appreciated
more than you will ever know!
Katie Lindsay, Maui Jim Horse Trials Organizer"
