Waredaca is proud to have its 2012 August and October Recognized Events sponsored by The Jockey Club's Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P).  The T.I.P is a new program that recognizes and rewards the versatility of the Thoroughbred through sponsorship of TB classes and high point rewards at locally, nationally, and internationally sanctioned horse shows.   www.tjctip.com

Thoroughbreds registered with The Jockey Club are eligible for participation in all T.I.P. classes and rewards.  For eligibility purposes, a "Thoroughbred" is defined as any horse that has been registered with The Jockey Club.  Participants will be required to verify registration in one of three ways.

Facing two months trotting around an indoor?  Do you even have an indoor to trot around? Do the two long, cold months until the show season starts take away your inspiration to ride? This winter Bright Moon Eventing is hosting a clinic series to help beat the winter blues.  Join us every Sunday in the indoor for our clinics to have fun and keep our skills sharp for the spring season. 

Equestrian Promotions, Inc. has just agreed to host the first-ever Retired Racehorse Trainer Challenge at the

Maryland Horse World Expo, January 21-23
and the Pennsylvania Horse World Expo, February 24-26.

Three professional trainers will select three Thoroughbred horses fresh off of three Mid-Atlantic racetracks. Stay tuned for the naming of our VIP panel of judges, the selection of our trainers, and the choice of our racehorses.

Go to our Trainer Challenge page for further details.

Eighty equine print publications throughout the United States and Canada received press releases this morning announcing the Retired Racehorse Training Project and the Retired Racehorse Trainer Challenge.

Help spread the word online. A massive launch will result in the sponsorship interest that we need to pay for all of this!

You really have to see it in person to appreciate it, but the renewal taking place at the Green Mountain Horse Association’s 65-acre South Woodstock, Vermont facility is impressive. A record mild fall has helped considerably to maximize work being done on the Cross-Country Upgrade Project, launched last spring as an effort to rejuvenate the historic course at the multi-discipline equestrian center. Coupled with ongoing clean-up from Hurricane Irene, it feels as though the entire facility is being transformed by excavators, engineers, carpenters, stone masons and wood carvers.

Rebuilt complex along Route 106 features new stonewall jumps for all levels.

Highlights of the project and course designer Tremaine Cooper’s vision include:

Our February 25th competition is scheduled one week   before Southern Pines Adult Camp, and two weeks before Southern Pines Horse Trials I.

The rolling sand-based turf will feature inviting courses at the Novice, Beginner Novice, Maiden and Green as Grass levels. Novice and Beginner Novice courses will include water, banks, and ditches.  The Maiden course will have an optional 'run-thru' at the water complex.  There will be no water crossing for Green as Grass, but the course may include a small bank and ridiculously small ditch.

Come out and enjoy the Spring Trial as a confidence-building warm-up for the start of your Spring season, or simply as a way to enable you and your horse to experience the thrill of Cross Country!
