Attention Junior Members - Volunteer Hours Change
The number of volunteer hours required for junior members to be eligible for a BREA year end award and inclusion on a BREA team has increased to compensate for their free BREA memberships.  For 2009, junior members need to complete six (6) volunteer hours to be eligible for a year end award.  In order to be eligible for inclusion on a BREA team, junior members need to complete an additional four (4) volunteer hours.

Clarification of Allowable Entries at BREA Competitions
When competing at BREA organized events, only one Horse Trials or two Combined Tests are allowed per horse per competition.  However, competitors may ride additional dressage tests if they wish.

Notice for Upcoming BREA Shows
BREA show entry forms must be received, not just postmarked, on or before the closing date.  Late entries will not be accepted unless approved by the show secretary.  Approved late entries will be subject to a $10.00 late fee.  In addition, entry forms now specify that Cross Country opens at 3:00 PM the day before the competition (Course maps will be available in the Pavilion).  Competitors will be expected to complete Cross Country immediately after their Show Jumping rounds.

BREA Shows Now Registered With USEA
Anyone participating in a BREA sponsored show is required to fill out and sign a USEA Schooling Show Release Form.  The show secretaries for BREA sponsored shows will have the Release Forms available on the show grounds, however releases for participants under the age of 18 must be signed by a parent or guardian.  Please note that participants are not required to be members of the USEA in order to participate in USEA registered schooling shows.

Submit Volunteer Hours and Points Online
Tired of carrying around those tattered BREA Volunteer Hours or Points Validation Forms.  Well, you're in luck because now you can submit your hours/points online via the web.  Click here to go to the online submission forms.

Southern States Labels
If you feed Southern States brand grains, please consider saving the labels/bulk tickets and sending them to Linda Oberlender.  The BREA receives funds for each label submitted which are used to support the club's activities.  The more labels you submit, the more the BREA can do for you.

It's Team Time Again
If you are interested in riding on a BREA team at either the Ark Team Competition, the Midsouth Team Challenge, or the Chronicle of the Horse Adult Team Challenge, be sure to check out the team requirements and submit your team application as soon as possible.  If you have any questions or would like to help organize team activities, contact Sue Jellum by phone at 540.365.2499 or by email.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF THE RIDERS AND HORSES COMPETING IN THE BREA/SWVADA SPRING HT, CT, & DS THIS WEEKEND.  STAY DRY AND HAVE FUN!
