Emily B. Cornelius, recipient of the Hornor Foxhunting Scholarship, with Karen Kressenberg as they prepare to go cubbing with the Hillsboro Hounds
The Ann Eidson Horner Foxhunting Scholarship was recently given to Emily Cornelius who, as a result of this award, will be hunting this year with the Hillsboro Hounds in Tennessee. Emily is a freshman at Middle Tennessee State University and a member of Cedar Hills Pony Club and though new in the field, has shown enthusiasm and dedication to foxhunting. Emily has raised and trained several American Quarter Horses and now studies Centered Riding when she is not hunting or at her college activities.
The Ann Eidson Hornor Foxhunting Fund was established in 2008 by Annie Mahr (nee Lou Bayly Hornor) in memory of her mother, for whom it is named. Mrs. Hornor was raised in Markham, Virginia and hunted from age 4. Her husband, Colonel John “Jack” Hornor, a West Point graduate and career military officer, founded Mells Foxhounds in 1964 when he moved to North Alabama and was one of the first to bring the sport to the area. Karen Kressenberg, a former Master of the Mells, is the administrator of the Fund which is to be awarded annually. The purpose of the fund is to enable a junior rider who otherwise would not be able to afford this experience to foxhunt for a season. This is accomplished by the Fund paying a selected junior’s hunt dues for one year.
Annie Mahr commented “Mom and Pop both were especially interested in nurturing young riders, which I think is evidenced by the photograph Karen and I have of the first Mells opening meet field …. it is almost all kids!!”
For more information on how to nominate a young person for the award, or to make a donation to the fund, please contact Karen Kressenberg at 5260 Campbellsville Rd, Pulaski, TN 38478. Karen can also be contacted through email at kkressenberg@bellsouth.net. Nominations should be received by August 1st for consideration in that year’s award.

2011 Annual Meeting Sign-Up (revised)
Club/RC Visits
Our regional Vice RS’s and I are continuing our club visits. October will certainly be the busiest month! (See attachment - Club_Reports). I am receiving wonderful feedback on the organization and cooperation within the clubs visited to date. This is outstanding news. Club leadership is a ‘team relationship’ just as much as our member rally teams. Thank you for being good adult role models and teachers for our members!
 Mule Rider for West Point!
To the right is a photo of Samantha Dorminey (Pennyrile) and ‘Raider’ taken on September 10, 2011 at her first college football game as a Mule Rider for West Point Military Academy! Her Mom said, “She had a blast!”
(Cool job on the hip letter!).
Midsouth’s 2012 Rally Calendar
For planning purposes, here are the dates for the 2012 Midsouth Rallies. We will be
discussing Tet and Dressage Rallies at our regional meeting.
Quiz (Cool Springs Marriott, Franklin, TN) – March 3
Games (KHP*) – March 31
Polocrosse – To Be Determined (typically April or May)
Tetrathlon (tentatively KHP) – during MegaRally, exact dates TBD
MegaRally (KHP) – June 19- 22
Midsouth Pony Club Horse Trial (KHP) – June 22-24
*KHP = Kentucky Horse Park
Used Tack/Riding Apparel Sale?
Do you think it is a good idea for the region to ‘host’ a used riding apparel and tack sale? This idea has come up before but nothing definite was ever decided. Would we have time to ’round up’ our stuff in time for our regional meeting in Louisville? OR, should we plan for Quiz or MegaRally? Please let me know if you think such a sale is a good idea.
As to format, I was thinking folks could bring items for sale to the regional meeting with an envelope safety-pinned to the sale item. On the envelope would be written the following information: seller’s name, cell #, size information and price. We would display these items at our meeting location. To make a purchase, the buyer would simply place the $ inside the envelope and sealed it. All sealed envelopes would then be placed in a box and later returned to the seller at the conclusion of the meeting.
Sellers must take home all unsold items.
What do you think?
Warm Regards,
Nancy, RS

Midsouth Nominating Committee – Allison Deaton (DC Long Run), Beth Grote (DC Miami Valley) and Hilda Horton (DC Chattanooga) have agreed to serve on the region’s Nominating Committee to develop/present the 2012 Slate of Officers for our region. USPC By-laws allow up to 5 members on this committee, which means there is room for 2 more folks. Is there anyone else interested in serving on this 3-month committee? You would be welcome!
[USPC By-laws require the Nominating Committee be approved by the Midsouth 'Regional Council' members (= Midsouth's Corporate Members, i.e. DCs, JtDCs, RCAs). Because our region encompasses a large geographical area, the region is permitted to vote to accept these committee members by 'proxy' vote. If anyone does not wish to accept the above nominating committee members, please email me at njssmith@aol.com by August 9, 2011.]
Midsouth Fall Regional Council Meeting – November 12

If you have topics/ideas of special interest that you would like the Board/Council to address, p-l-e-a-s-e email me. I currently have two regional policies up for discussion.
2012 USPC Dues have increased over 2011.
New Members = $130 (up $5)
Renewing Members = $110 (up $5)
[If a member rejoins after being inactive for a year or more, they rejoin as a renewing member, not as a new member.]
Pro-rated New Member= $160 (up $10)
[Pro-rated memberships start 9/1/11 and are good through 12/31/2012.]
Pro-rated Renewing Member = $140 (up $10)
[Current members can renew early too.]
Late Renewing Member = $120 (up $5)
[Current members renewing after 11/15 pay a 'late' penalty.]
Reminder: Riding Centers are to send individual family checks for membership dues, not a Center check.
No Change in Midsouth Regional Dues – Regional dues remain at $20. There is a $5 late fee for members who renew
after Jan 1. Pro-rated dues (Sept 1, 2011 year thru Dec 31, 2012) are $30.
Club Reports – Attached is a spreadsheet of the clubs in the region showing who has turned in forms and which ones. Please remember to forward a copy of these forms to me.

List of Ratings Examiners – Attached is a list of Ratings Examiners that were used by clubs and riding centers for their 2011 Spring Ratings. Email club contacts for details/references. Also attached is an Examiner’s Evaluation and Apprentice Evaluation form. Please encourage your upper level members to apprentice (train) with an adult, experienced Examiner. The following is an excerpt from USPC’s “Organizer Guidelines D1 to C2 Rating Tests”:
“Ensure your selected Examiner(s) has been trained by and apprenticed with an experienced Examiner, attended a Standards and Ratings (S&R) Clinic, and has scribed for or “shadowed” an experienced Examiner before allowing that Examiner to rate in your club.”

Duck River Club Visit
 I had an opportunity for a brief visit with Duck River Pony Club in Murfreesboro, TN this past June. Duck River was founded in 1994 and currently has 12 members. Corey Rice, DC, organized a mounted meeting for the club, which began with a short trail ride followed by a jump lesson at the farm of Brenda Wagnon. It was wonderful to meet club officers and members!
Stay Cool!

Midsouth Boardgram – July 2011
Hot, Hot, Hot!
Congratulations!
Alison Koelling, from Keeneland, received her HA rating on June 26. Kelsey Wawrzynice from Boskydell and Rebekah Green from Davis Creek received their HB’s on July 10. Wow! Well done. [Thank You, Parents, for all your support!]
Congratulations also to Dalles (Phillips) Lee, our Midsouth Horse Management Organizer, for achieving USPC’s Horse Management Judge “Chief” status. Well deserved.
A Special Word of Appreciation
Thank you to our regional Treasurer, Sharon Leonard, for keeping track of all our regional bills, reimbursements, judge’s fees, deposits, clinics, entry fees, refunds, capital expenditures, quarterly reports, Tax return (and audit), W-9′s, the list goes on…all throughout the year. And she does all this with quiet grace and humbleness. T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U, Sharon, for all the hours you spend in service to our Midsouth Region!
USPC National Youth Board (not Youth Congress)
Check out http://nyb.ponyclub.org for information on this group of twenty dedicated older members, whose purpose is to increase communication between USPC’s Board of Governors and our pony club membership. Each Board member represents several USPC regions. Emily Nash is our Youth Board Representative. Please encourage your members, >18 yrs. with good communication skills, to consider serving on the National Youth Board. Applications are due by September 30th! Not only is it a great way to stay active within pony club, but a very fun way to meet upper level pony clubbers from all over the country! Contact Emily Nash at emilynash.nyb@gmail.com for the ‘inside scoop’.
3rd Horse Management Seminar
During Championships, USPC will be presenting a wonderful Horse Management Seminar to be conducted by Connie Jehlik. Cost is $70 per person. The region will reimburse you $50 of that cost if you stay for the whole Seminar. Contact Connie Jehlik at instruction@ponyclub.org to sign up.
Nominating Committee
The region is seeking 3-5 persons to serve on a regional Nominating Committee. This committee will take nominations for the following regional offices: RS, 4 VRS’s, Secretary, Treasurer, Regional Instruction Coordinator for Upper Level Ratings (RIC 1), and Regional Instruction Coordinator for Club-Level Instruction ( RIC 2). The Nominating Committee will present a slate of nominees for each of these positions, which will be voted upon at our Annual Meeting in November. Email me by July 31 if you are interested in serving on this committee. Once formed, I will email all DCs/RCAs the names of the Committee members for their approval.
(Note: Regions, by virtue of size, can vote by ‘proxy’. Clubs cannot.)
Reminder: Clubs too must have a means of nominating officers. USPC Club By-Laws
4.1.5 state this is to be done through a Nominating Committee. The DC can propose a Committee of 3 to 5 Sponsors. But the Club Sponsors must vote to accept the proposed Committee. The Nominating Committee must be elected 3 months prior to the club’s scheduled Annual Sponsor’s Meeting. The Committee’s purpose is to generate and present a slate of 2012 club officers for election by the club Sponsors. Officer nominations can also be taken from the floor. (Please refer to pages 34 and 78 of the USPC Guide for District Commissioners.)
Club and Riding Center Visits
As RS, I (or my appointed representative) am required by USPC to periodically review the activities of each club and riding center in our region and make a report to the national office. I find it impossible to visit all 32 of our Midsouth clubs/riding centers on an annual basis but I/we do try to personally visit them all over the course of several years.
The purpose of these visits are to:
• review the club’s overall administration and instructional program;
• evaluate of the club’s involvement in regional activities, USPC By-Law compliance, as well as the club’s/riding center’s interactions with other clubs and riding centers;
• evaluate the club’s/riding center’s overall potential for longevity/growth, volunteer / member involvement; and,
• consider the stability and management of club’s finances.
We will be calling some of our DCs and RCAs over the next few months to schedule Fall visits. Personally, these visits are one of the highlights of my year! I love meeting club/riding center officers, members and families. Last year I managed to visit 8. This year, I have only visited 2 so far. With the able assistance of our VRSs, we should be able to visit many more.
USPC National Championships
This year Midsouth is sending 57 (!) competitors to USPC’s National Championships held at the Kentucky Horse Park. Attached is a listing of all the teams/clubs/riding centers. Move-in day is Monday, July 18. Tuesday is the official opening day with Opening Ceremonies at 6 pm. Wednesday through Friday are mounted competitions days, with final awards on Friday afternoon. If you are heading to KHP during this week, please plan to stop the Midsouth tent and share a few refreshments with us. We’d love to see you.
Regional Communications
ALL CLUBS: Please continue to send me meeting minutes, club calendars, member achievements, and fund-raising flyers. I do read them and I really appreciate including me on your distribution list.
Also, for the regional files, don’t forget to send:
- Identification of your Nominating Committee members,
- Notice of Annual Meeting,
- List of Officers,
- Annual Meeting Minutes,
- Renewal Membership Packet (surveys too), and
- Club Policies, latest version. (5 clubs have not sent me their final, revised, Sponsor-approved policies. Please finalize/send.)
Thank you all…it is a pleasure to know and work with every one of you!
Very sincerely,
Nancy Smith, RS

Awards went to six Pony Clubs who regularly take the greatest percentage (based on total number of club members) of active Pony Club members hunting, based on the required number of hunts needed by each member.
