presentation will begin at 3pm, with the dinner
banquet to follow and the completion of the awards afterwards. Don't miss
the famous Painted Ponies raffle!
This year’s educational speaker will
be Dr. Kerry Ridgway, developer of the CRI and former chair of the AERC
veterinary committee, and many other accomplishments too numerous to mention!
Come hear him speak! Dr. Ridgway will be addressing saddle fit and muscle
conditioning of the distance horse.

Let’s celebrate last year’s
wonderful accomplishments and learn something new for next year!
Trail of Painted
Ponies Raffle
Last
year, a collection of the beautiful Trail of the Painted Ponies figurines stood
as centerpieces on the SEDRA banquet tables and this year will once again grace
the tables. These ponies will be raffled off at the end of the banquet on
Saturday evening. You can purchase single raffle tickets for $1, 6 for $5.
You need not be present to win.
The
Painted Ponies sell for about $25 each. No two of the ones bought are the
same, nor are any duplicates from last year. Each is a work of art, by
different artists from all over the country. The whole series can be
viewed at www.paintedponiescollectibles.com
Tickets
can be purchased in advance by contacting Carol Thompson, or by asking someone
who is attending to purchase tickets for you.
