Northern Lakes Region Update for June 2013
RS Linda Murphy
REMINDER, the deadline is June 26
for National Testing in Northern Lakes Region. (8 weeks prior to the
test date). If you plan to do your C3 or higher in our region, you need to
complete your application online.
Richard Lamb and Claire Harmon, both elite A testing National Examiners,
enjoyed our regions members "immensely" said Richard in a post interview. The
members who attended were given a lot of feedback about their riding skills and
horse management and had a great time at Schweiss's Roebeke Run. Tayler Ittel
said," . . . in Cross country Richard had us warm up by galloping and practicing
slowing down. So much fun!! Went top speed with the squeak!"

Setting jumps for NE Camp 2013
D camp starts in a week in WI at the University-River Falls!! This is
always on of the most fun events of the year and this year will be no
exception! Get packing! And if you want to volunteer, I know the organizers
could always use a little more help so let us know!
Two rallies this year! A Dressage Rally and a Qualifying Eventing Rally
for 2014 Festival year are coming in August. If you have never rallied before,
the dressage rally is the one to attend. If you are an eventer, the Qualifying
Rally at Steepleview is the place to be. Why leave with only one ribbon when
you can earn two! Rally with a team is much more fun than going by yourself.
Start planning your teams now and let you DC know about your plans.
Drink lots of water when you are riding in the heat. Hydrate! Watch out
for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Remind your teammates, and keep
your horse hydrated too. Attending a rally? or camp? or testing? or mounted
meeting? in the heat? Prepare and pack electrolytes for your horse if you think
you may need some.
Enjoy summer and ride, ride, ride!
