We are deeply saddened at the loss of our Team Member Ashley Stout, and her horse Avant Garde. We will be honoring her at the Adequan North American Youth Championship three-day event presented by Gotham North, at The Event at Rebecca Farm, Kalispell, MT., July 24-28, 2019. We thank and appreciate the Stout Family's gesture to express remembrances through donations to the Area II Young Riders program. #ride4Ashley

Shared on behalf of the Stout Family:

***In honor of Ashley, all fellow riders are encouraged to wear formal competition attire (sans helmet) to the services.

A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered. Please join us as we celebrate the life of Ashley Stout. Friends will be received from 2:00PM-4:00PM and 6:00PM-8:00PM on Monday, July 15, 2019 at Koch Funeral Home (2401 S. Atherton Street, State College). The funeral service will be at 11:00AM on Tuesday, July 16, 2019 at Good Shepherd Catholic Church (867 Grays Woods Blvd, Port Matilda) with a luncheon to follow. Ashley’s passion for riding and for her beloved horse, Grady, drove her young life. For this reason, in lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to Area 2 Young Riders Program in Ashley's name.

From Jenni Autry 

Thank You to everyone who came out to Joseph Murphy Eventing's December clinic at Kealani Farm. It was a jam-packed three days that also conincided with the USEA Area II Annual Meeting, and we had a very full house on Saturday with a slew of people coming out to watch his training demo. We also received a number of generous donations from auditors in support of Jonty Evans and his continued recovery. Thank you to Melissa Stubenberg, Gwen Kriskie, Mike, Juan, and the entire Kealani team for being so wonderful to work with, and a special shout-out goes to the entire Erika Nesler Equestrian team for being jump crew superstars. Last but certainly not least, my horse is a LEGEND.
