Calling All Members!
Email Your Photos for the Banquet Slide Show Today!

Dear CFD Friends, 

Our slide show at the banquet last year was pretty neat, right? Well, we'd like to do it again and we need your assistance. All of you who submitted scores for awards are invited to send a photo of you and your horse - it can be a show photo or a casual photo or even a glamour shot with your horse, we love 'em all.

I'm doing my best to make sure all of the folks are reached via email, but if you have friends that did send in scores, please touch in with them to make sure they know about this opportunity - some folks don't check their email often or I might have messed up and put in an email address incorrectly, even with my best efforts. They can send photos to me or Carol Bulmer via email.  

Trainers/instructors- some of your students have had success this year in many areas - new medals, new horses, first time out in the show ring, etc. If you have photos you'd like to share for the slideshow, please send them on.

We also will be gathering photos from all of our events this year, so hopefully, this slideshow can be another fun part of our annual banquet.

Looking forward to receiving photos from all of you.

Best regards,
Janet Buckner
Volunteer - CFD

The Mystery Rider is.....
Jeanie Bell!

Below are two pictures of Jeanie Bell nowadays.  Jeanie was a a member for several years and even when not a member always helped with the Banquet setup.  You have been greeted by Jeanie at the Annual Awards Banquet since Susan Croft started organizing the banquet (2010 for the 2009 awards year up to last year). In years past Jeannie competed individually and in a quadrille. Jeannie recently retired from any competition.  She won the "Old Grey Pair" award for the 2011 year with a combined age of 93 with her beloved DunMan.  Gee, I guess that puts the two over 100 now! Jeanie and DunMan are still going strong with the occasional hack in the Ocala National forest.  
You
Go
Girl!
