EQUESTRIAN
COMMUNITY RESPONDS TO TRAGEDIES |
The equestrian community
offers its deepest sympathy to those who are in mourning, offers gratitude
to those who are bravely helping, and shares the feelings of shock and sadness
with all the families and friends whose way of life was shaken by the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
To honor the memory of those lost and to help those who are still suffering,
USA Equestrian is proud to partner with its affiliates nationwide and establish
the United Equestrian Relief Fund. Managed by USA Equestrian, Inc.,
all contributions received will be directed to the American Red Cross disaster
relief efforts in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Please join the equestrian community by making a contribution to the United
Equestrian Relief Fund today. Contributions can be sent to: United Equestrian
Relief Fund, c/o USA Equestrian, 4047 Iron Works Parkway, Lexington, KY
40511.

the U.S., is the regulatory body for the Olympic and World Championship
