The 2021 Inspections scheduled for July (Region 3) and October (Region 4) have been canceled for 2020. They will be rescheduled for 2021. All nominations and fees will carry over. The new dates will be announced as soon as they are determined.
As States start opening, we are wondering what will become of this riding and competing season. Yesterday, US Equestrian / USEF hosted an online meeting containing information and answering questions about what to expect at competitions. The meeting contains all aspects of good practices, even working around our barns. Everyone’s safety is a high priority, with that in mind to be successful we must follow all guidelines. A replay of yesterday’s meeting is available on USEF’s site. Please see the below Webinar link to watch.
The American Connemara Pony Society is closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19. We have cancelled several social gatherings and are willing to do our part to shelter in place. We will stay abreast of and implement as necessary the USEF guidance and protocol. If you have any questions please see the USEF website for any updates at the following link https://www.usef.org/media/coronavirus-resources We will publish any necessary updates for our membership and our organization on our website www.acps.org and the American Connemara Pony Society Facebook page regarding upcoming shows or events status.
The motto for the Connemara breed says “they do it all “ and in this case, we must do all we can to keep our ACPS people and ponies safe and healthy. In these times it’s important to remember that we hold each other’s lives in our hands. Our bodies may be still but we are reaching out with our hearts and know that we are all connected.
Please stay safe and take care of yourselves and your ponies.
While we have this quiet period, PLEASE take advantage and check to see if you have renewed your ACPS membership. If you did, you should have received a 2020 membership card by email (it’s possible very recent renewals might not). And thanks!
If you have not renewed, click on the Membership link and follow the directions for either renewing online (recommended) or you can print out a form and mail it in. If you aren’t sure of your status, send me an email at srphelps@cox.net.
We mailed out the March-April magazine to everyone including last year’s members, but we have to start whittling the list with the May-June issue, so please don’t delay. Meanwhile, stay safe!
