CONGRATS To The Thornridge Group for doing so well at the 2011 MDA Awards Banquet. I truly am as Proud As A Peacock!!! My biggest regret for heading south on the date chosen is that I could not be there to cheer everyone on in person. Top Row L-R: Loretta/Wally, Linda representing Diane/Zauber, Erica/Cliffy, Jackie/Keely, Kathryn/Magic, Mary representing Phoebe/Windy&Roo, Claudia/Prince. Bottom Row L-R: Amanda/Roo, Suzanne/Country, Ali/Magic, Lizzy/Dreamy. Thornridge riders received a Championship in every division that was applied for in 2011. Everyone put in well above and beyond their required volunteer time for MDA and helped to make this past year successful for the club. In addition to the division ribbons represented in these pictures: Ali and Jackie and Phoebe were awarded special monetary scholarships, Claudia receive the Unsung Heroine Award for her behind the scenes involvement with the club, Phoebe received the Big Mac Perpetual Trophy and was Trainer of the Year. For a more detailed account of individual year end standing, please check back to the current news section of the website....I am working on getting everything updated!!
On a personal note: I would like to thank the MDA for awarding me the JBB Scholarship for long time service to the MDA. Many people may not know, that many decades ago, I was the MDA YR VP, and during this time, I knew Joyce very well. She was always a bright light at every board meeting, show and general social event. I remember her life and her loss like it was yesterday. I intend to use my scholarship money for lessons on Vinca while here in FL. I know Joyce would have loved the silly stallion, it is hard not to.
