Jinks Jervey Page

I am sad about the loss of my old riding buddy - Jinks Jervey Page. Some of you may remember her. We rode with Jeanne Smith. Jinks, Jonathan Shoemaker and I were Jeanne's first junior riders. We rode back in the 80's. Jinks and I had two lessons a week together, carpooled to the barn, and raced in the peach orchards along Higway 11. She had her masters degree in counseling and did Equine Therapy up in Michigan where she lived with her husband and two small children. She died of cancer. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers!

2009 BRHJA Sanctioned Show Schedule On-Line Now

Everyone, the schedule of BRHJA sanctioned shows is online now on the website:
http://www.brhja.com/ShowSchedule.htm

We do have our regular four BRHJA orgainized shows at Harmon Field throughout the year. The great news, so I believe, is that we have PSJ sancioning for all four of these shows. We made the decision to hold the October Classic a week earlier this year for a variety of reasons. The net of that was that it will give PSJ time to calculate points from that show into their standings and get invitations out to those who would like to attend their medal finals.

So go take a look at the site for the show dates.

Great Note from Shelley

Dear Mark, Noreen, Freda, Harriet, Ashley, Linda, Libby, Jamie, Arden & Anne,

The 2008 BRHJA Banquet was a lovely evening!!! It is always a first class affair!

I would like to thank you for the awesome cooler, I will always be proud when one of my horses wears it ringside.

I am new to this whole Hunter Jumper world and have been so blessed to land in the Tryon area. I am privileged to show with Jeanne Smith, who has endured much angst with me, trying to find my way around course! I continually say that I am not interested in the supposed prestige of the “A”s …. besides……my friends are at Blue Ridge shows!!!! So, to receive the Sr. Sportsmanship award at this year’s banquet was such a surprise and honor! I am humbled and touched and appreciate it more than I can express. I will always try to live up to what it represents…that good rides, camaraderie and good sportsmanship are more important than winning!

Thank you, truly for all of your hard work and dedication to our horse show community. I know there are thousands of hours a year devoted to often unrecognized, thankless tasks. But through your efforts, BRHJA continues to grow and provide a terrific showing experience to us all. I will always treasure my hat of “many monograms”!

With deepest gratitude,

Shelley Griffitts
