Outgoing Area IV Chair Presented with Gift
|
Thanks, Beth!
One of the problems with our sport is that, at the most inconvenient time, you
can be stuck looking after a sick equine. That was the case in February when
outgoing Area IV Chair, Beth Stoker, couldn't attend the Area Meeting as she
had a sick horse to look after.
Luckily her work brought her to Wichita so we were able to present her with a
momento of her service as Area Chair. It's a set of three hand-painted tiles
depicting the three phases of our sport.
Beth is still serving on the Area Council but is thankful she'll now have time to actually train her horses and, maybe, even take part in an event as a competitor! Thanks, Beth!
John Clarke, Area IV Chairman
