Area VI Chairman's Report
Hello everyone. 2005 was a banner year for Area VI despite the rough
weather that ushered in the year. In spite of this there were still
more events and an increase in starters. The packed calendar prepared
and qualified more riders for the upper levels. This schedule saw
a slight drop in the numbers of competitors at each event but again
the number of starters increased. We saw 4,440 competitors start in
25 events. Area VI brought home ten high point awards from the National
Convention in Charlotte NC. This is a fantastic percentage of awards
for one area to win. This is a reflection of the quality of events.
The organizers are deserving of a round of thanks for their great
efforts and courses. We have the finest group of organizers who
are committed to the sport of eventing and to the success of Area
VI in that sport. All of the events contribute to our National success
and it is important for all, and I mean all, the organizers to recognize
that their show is vital. I thank them again for their contributions.
The area continued to have instructors support and get certified
by the ICP program.
I don't know for a fact but I believe again Area VI has the highest
number of certified instructors.
Our young rider program had a rebirth in 2004. Membership in 2005
was not as strong but we were still able to field a team for the
NAYRC in Virginia. The Young Rider Camp got fantastic reviews because
of the high teacher to student ration. 2006 will see a stronger
team in Virginia and more leading Young Riders. We want to congratulate
Tiana Coudry for winning the Leading Young Rider award and the leading
Intermediate Young Rider award. She is joined in company with Kelly
Pugh as the leading Preliminary Young Rider and Lauren Whitlock
winning the leading Advanced Young Rider Award.
We look forward to a busy year in Area VI and we invite you to come
join us.

| Area Chairman's 2005 Year End Report.
2005 has been a very good year for California and Hawaii eventing.
We often forget about the members from Hawaii but wouldn't it be
nice to have our meeting next January on one of the islands? How
many of you would go?
The meeting this year was exceptional with the event college and
I ask you to read about it on the Area Meeting page. But it wasn't
all about learning, schooling, and awards, business was relayed
to the attendees and so for those of you unable to attend here you
go
In 2005 the USEA had 40,231 starters this amounts to $4023.00 for
the area.
Area VI started 4,440 competitors and this will bring $5550.00 to
the area in our secondary allotment. This reflects about 100 more
starters then last year. The general fund is in good shape with
an amount of $17,000. The adult rider fund has risen to $14000 &
the young rider program has $17,000 to begin their season.
We don't have a specific fundraising plan for 2006 but we've talked
about a Casino Night, All ideas and volunteers are appreciated and
if you just want to give money please contact Kwai Reitz our new
treasurer. Remember we are a 501 3C organization.
There are details for the budget available and you can peruse this
below at your leisure.
The Young Riders are planning the camp for 2006 at Kingsway Farm.
We have been getting some renewals but it's that time of year to
get organized for the coming season. We want to thank Bea and Derek
Digrazia for their help in motivating the team and spurring interest
in the program. We want to welcome Debbie Rosen and John Camlin
of Area VII for taking over the reins. We look forward to great
things. Louis Hales will be finishing her third year as coordinator
and help is always necessary to keep the program moving ahead and
fresh. There is still a need to get someone involved to take over
the younger kids and promote the team challenge that was started
last year. For you young riders that aren't going to the NAYRC here
is a chance to compete on a team and meet other young competitors
from around the state. The team competition will be offered at the
beginner novice to preliminary level. Get on board!
