JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2014 OF THE MONTH New EFJ Board PRESIDENT BETTY WATES VICE PRESIDENT JOHN WALTER TECHNICAL ADVISOR ANTHONY PASMORE SECRETARY AMBER STEWART BOARD MEMBER LESLIE HAMILTON TREASURER CHRISTINE JOHNSTON BOARD MEMBER MAËLLE JOHNSTON As the new board of the EFJ, we are doing all within our ability to create a positive and noteworthy year for our horses and riders. We would like to invite anyone who would like to volunteer, (riders, non-riders and parents) to contact any of us if you would like to help with any events, activities, etc. If you have any great ideas of how you can help the EFJ, please feel free to get in touch with anyone on the board. Let’s all work together to help to grow, maintain and build our riding community. It is the year of the horse, after all, so lets hit the ground running (or for better words, hit the ground, get the right lead, sit deep in the saddle and keep the canter forward and collected). SADDLE UP! BARBADOS HERE WE COME! The CEA trial for Barbados took place on January 11th at Ponderosa in Bog Walk, and the competition will take place on February 14th and 15th. The under 16 trial was won by Claire Schwapp of Kingston Polo Club and the under 14 was won by Annie Stewart of Ponderosa. Best of luck ladies, GO TEAM JAMAICA!!! 2 CLAIRE SCHWAPP ANNIE STEWART
