Dear
SWVHJA Members,
Congratulations on reaching the culmination of another show season, the
SWVHJA Annual Horse Show & Medal Finals! Although I am unable to be
with you at the Annual Show and Medal Finals due to business conflicts,
I am confident that the board and management, along with our invaluable
executive secretary Anne Johnston, all of whom have worked together
tirelessly fine-tuning the schedule and format for this year's event,
will have everything well in-hand; Jenn Fessler will be my appointed
stand-in and liaison with show management (I will be in constant contact
with her), and with past-President Cricket Stone, Anne Johnston and the
remaining board members also on hand, I am confident that this year's
show and finals will run smoothly and be a resounding success.
I know that the board, management
and our course designers will have the Virginia Horse Center bedecked as
befits our exciting year-end finale, the crown jewel of our regional
horse show season. Good luck, have fun, and I look forward to seeing
you in January at the Annual Awards Banquet.
With best regards,
Gordon Reistrup
