USA
Equestrian Approves 2004 Competition Date Applications
|
The
2004 USA Equestrian Date renewal applications for December 2003
through November 2004 competitions have all been reviewed and
the approval and/or permission letters have been mailed to the
competition contacts. In addition, all applications for new competitions,
as well as changes of date, location and rating received through
July 31, 2003 have been reviewed at this time.
"The
Competitions Department staff has been working extremely hard
this year. Due to the fact that 2004 is a date rotation year,
there were many changes requested to competitions, yet the staff
has still managed to turn these date applications around in record
time, said Christine Ruddy, Director of the Competitions
Department.
The
2004 competition dates from December 2003 through November 2004
are currently available on our website at http://www.equestrian.org/calendar2004/2004comp.asp.
