Congratulations Danielle Aymond

The Dressage Foundation is pleased to announce the recipient of the Evie Tumlin Memorial Fund Grant for Region 9 Adult Amateurs as Danielle Aymond (LA). The purpose of the Evie Tumlin Memorial Fund is to provide grants to adult amateur riders who currently reside in USDF Region 9, to aid in their development in dressage and/or eventing.

Danielle is an active member of the Southern Dressage and Eventing Association and the U.S. Pony Club. She is also a member of the Louisiana National Guard. Danielle plans to use her grant funding for a Jeremy Steinberg clinic and to also take lessons with Yvonne Barteau. Her goal is to confirm Second Level movements with her horse and gain upper-level experience on a schoolmaster. Read more

Important Reminder for Eventing Riders

EVENTERS remember that you cannot enter a year’s worth of scores at the end of the year. You have 30 days post event to get those scores in, anything outside the 30 day window will not be counted. You can find more information on the SEDA website and the online entry is here.

Eventing Scores Submission Available Online

Are you excited? You can now submit your eventing scores online via this form. As always, if there are any questions, please contact Emily.

Volunteer Coordinator Needed

We all know how essential volunteers are to our events. SEDA is in need of someone to take on the role of Volunteer Coordinator. Tasks will include: working with show organizers to fill and schedule all volunteers needed, follow up with volunteers to ensure they arrive, being on hand (or appoint someone if you can’t be there) to serve as a point of contact for volunteers at the show, tracking volunteer hours. If this sounds like something you’d like to take on, please contact Nicole.

Sponsors Needed!

One of the ways to earn volunteer hours is by getting sponsors for SEDA. Consider sponsoring something yourself or asking people or businesses you know to sponsor our events. Use the SEDA Sponsorship Flyer for additional information. The earlier in the year we obtain sponsors, the more exposure they will get…and we want to give our sponsors LOTS of exposure!
