By Nicole Miller The annual Adequan/USDF Convention for 2016 was held in St. Louis, Missouri. Almost directly under the famous St. Louis Arch! I was honored to once again represent SEDA as a delegate Each Convention experience is a little bit different. Many of the faces are the same, but the location is always different and has its own brand of charm. One of the most interesting elements of the Convention is the Welcome Party on the first night: this is usually sponsored by the host Region and always gives a great bit of local flavor, plus an opportunity to mix and mingle with the other attendees.

By Parrish Frisbee Hello hello to all of my SEDA friends and readers! I’m writing this from my new base in Northern Illinois, where winter will be upon us much too soon. But for now, I’m going to give a recap of warmer travels I made in August, to volunteer at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games for our beloved equestrian sport.

In April, SEDA hosted a freestyle clinic with Cynthia Collins of Luna Tunes Freestyles at Equi-Best Equestrian Center in Covington, LA. There were a decent number of participants (always room for more!) and several auditors who took advantage of the opportunity to learn how to do a musical freestyle. I didn’t participate, but I did audit and sat in on the education session, too. It was an enlightening experience!
