from CSDEA President Alicia Cozine
The CSDEA Volunteer Seminar and Kick-off Party that was scheduled today has been postponed.
I am checking with those who have volunteered the facility and their time to lead the sessions to determine if there is another date that works.
Email me if you have any questions or ideas.

Phillip Dutton breaks Rolex hex
Becky and Comet take two rails but maintain composure to finish fluidly and take second
Ater five attempts, Phillip Dutton won his first Rolex crown on Connaught. Finishing on with a score of 41.7, Philip and Connaught had one of only two clear stadium rounds in the final phase at the Rolex Three Day event at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY.
Becky Holder on Courageous Comet took two rails in the stadium round and claimed second place.
Unfortunately, Rolex had two tragic accidents that seriously injured a competitor, Laine Ashker, and resulted in the death of her horse and another equine cmpetitor.
The U.S. Eventing Assn. website has this statement about the accidents. David O'Connor, United States Equestrian Federation President, and Kevin Baumgardner, USEA President, are convening a Safety Summit in Lexington, KY, June 7 and 8. Here is their full statement.
Laine Ashker's blog is updated by her family on her recovery.
