Letter from President

​

I know many of you are trudging through the cold and mud trying to keep your horses in work…but think happy thoughts of dry and warm weather ahead!

​

I am very excited for my first year as President of IEO, an organization that I have called my home for the past 8 years.  I am so happy to give back to the community that gave me so many wonderful opportunities to work with my horse and grow in partnership.  I want to thank the outgoing president, Kim Hanlin, for the jump into online entries and laying a wonderful foundation to move forward with.

​

There are some exciting new changes for IEO this year in that after over a decade at Diamond Seven, IEO will be hosting their shows at both Halcyon and Twin Brooks this year!

​

We will continue to have dedicated show managers, as we did last year, to keep our shows running as smoothly as possible.  They did a wonderful job last year and we look forward to their continued success in trying to keep us on schedule.

​

I am very much looking forward to seeing the membership and hopefully welcoming some new faces to the dressage arena.

​

Think happy thoughts of Spring and horses shedding those wooly coats!  See you soon!

​

Emily
