Thanks to everyone who made
our benefit trail ride a success!
We enjoyed seeing old friends and new, from near and far, young and old- there were ponies, standardbreds, quarter horses, draft crosses, welsh and welsh cobs, arabs, warmbloods, a mustang, and of course thoroughbreds! We had foxhunters, trail riders, show riders, dressage and event riders, and leadliners (including some moms who walked the whole 8+ miles!) The weather couldn't have been better. Special thanks to Lana Wright for marking a great trail; to the folks at Unicorn, Woodstock, and Great House for opening their beautiful land, not to mention all of the mowing and trail clearing; to Louis and Fred for manning the grill; to our ever ready volunteers; and to our riders who arrived smiling and left smiling!
A shout out to everyone who braved the weather to walk, run, and help our rescued animals- to Butch and Polly of Pit Stop Pit Beef for the delicious food- and a big thank you to our hardy volunteers!

The winner of the Beale Wright Morris Memorial Trophy in 2008 was Julie Kessler. Julie is very active in SAPC and was the unanimous choice of her peers for this award. Beale was an internationally recognized event rider and former pony clubber whose top horses were all thoroughbreds off the track. She passed away in March 2005. This award is given annually to the member of St Augustine Pony Club (DE) who best embodies Beale's commitment to pony club, love of horses, and compassion towards others. Julie also received a $100- grant towards a pony club clinic in the coming year. Noted sculptress Nancy Weimer Belden, of Newton, NJ, created the perpetual trophy.
