What a fantastic Mid
Atlantic competition! This year the weather cooperated to
make it a beautiful weekend. To make it even better we were joined by a
large group of our friends from the Mounted Games Across Canada
organization. They pushed us hard in all heats and finals and we
had some top-notch match ups over the weekend. Each of the Finals
from C through A ended up with great head-to-head competitions between
all the teams!
Thanks to all the
riders and parents of MGAA and MGAC for pitching in and making this a
memorable competition from beginning to end!!
Thanks go out to the following officials for their time and effort
– Diane Hickok, competition organizer. You did a great job of
pulling it all together! Thanks also to Donna McCready who flew out from
California to be our
TD and referee. Charlie Hickok, head guru of equipment was everywhere at
once and keeping all the crew right on top of things. Thanks also to ALL of the equipment pit crew for all their
tireless work lugging equipment here, there, and everywhere. I will not
attempt to name everyone because I am sure that I would forget someone
important. Just know that without you, we could not possibly run these
competitions.
