Website news
posted: April 12, 2008
Our Area 2 site has gone through many changes over the past few months. Thank
you all for your patience in the transition. There have been some suggestions by
members, which have resulted in:
- Reformatting the free
Classifieds to a tabular format (more like the old listings).
- Adding a link to USEA results, so you can
quickly get the links to official results for Area 2 events (as they are
posted by USEA).
Many people have added their events to our free
calendar of events. Take a look sometime, it's loaded with clinics, events,
and schooling opportunities! USEA is working on a feed that will populate our
calendar with all the Area 2 recognized events.
Future plans include offering advertising, creating a stallion roster of Area
2 stallions, and adding a photo gallery.
Keep your positive feedback and suggestions coming. This site is a service to
the Area 2 eventing community, so help us make it best for YOU!

Program and Southern Pines Horse Trials would like to thank Michele Lobsinger

"confirmed"!

Looks like another good season started there!
Band together in support of Darren!
posted: April 16, 2008
Many of Darren Chiacchia’s sponsors have come together in a display of
continuing support by organizing an armband/wristband fundraiser for the Rolex
Kentucky 3-Day Event, April 23-26. Look for your favorite riders to be
competing, wearing their armbands in a display of solidarity. Join us in showing
your support – armbands and wristbands will be available at Rolex from
participating sponsors and retailers. The suggested donation for armbands is
$100 and wristbands will be available for a free-will donation. All proceeds
will go directly to Darren’s fund at the Equestrian Aid Foundation.

Volunteers and Volunteer Opportunities in Area 2
posted: March, 2008
We all know this sport couldn't exist without volunteers! Volunteers
enjoy fun, camaraderie, goodies, and the undying thanks of competitors,
officials, and organizers.
New requirements for the Area 2 Awards Program also include submitting
volunteer hours to qualify.
A suggestion was made by an Area 2 Member to have a section on the
website whereby volunteers can hook up with different events to help out,
and events can find potential volunteers.
New Classifieds and Resource Section
posted: March, 2008
We are in the process of streamlining our ads and resource listings. As of
today (March 19, 2008) the new ads are the default. You can still get to the old
ads, but not for much longer!
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ADS AND LISTINGS!
If you browse the listings and find your facility or ad, you can request that
your userid be assigned to that ad, then you can retain ownership of the listing
and edit and add or delete your own listings as needed. You'll need to first
create a login,
then email the webmaster to have your login
assigned to a particular listing.
