This year the Area VII Council held monthly conference calls to keep us moving forward with all kinds of planning activities both regionally and nationally, from working with our organizers on our competition calendar for this year and the next few years, to activities with the Young Rider, Adult Rider and Instructor Certification Programs, to discussions about rule changes, safety and so much more. Although it might have seemed like not much happened this year on the competition front due to the restrictions and safety concerns presented by the pandemic, the Council was busy behind the scenes working hard to make sure we are represented well at the national level. The Area Chair typically serves a three-year term and the Council members also rotate every few years. Like you, we are volunteers and we do what we do for the love of our Area and our sport. The Area VII Council represents our Area at the national level. Season’s Greetings from The Area VII Council! Here’s to a healthy and successful new year!

The future is full of exciting opportunities for Area VII. For those who qualify for the AEC’s, this is a wonderful opportunity to have this prestigious event in our own Area. We are also very excited that Rebecca Farm will be hosting the AEC’s in 2022. We are thrilled that Aspen Farms has agreed to host the Championships again in 20. It is very exciting that the National Eventing Championships will be held in our Area! To avoid a conflict, Aspen Farms will also host our Championships again in 2022.
In 2022, Rebecca Farm will be adding a second event to its calendar and will host the AEC’s in September. Therefore, after much thought and discussion among the Area VII Organizers and Council, the 2021 Area VII Championships will return to Aspen Farms in September. Now with the AEC’s being held on the same date as EI’s Fall event in 2021, it wouldn’t be fair to those who qualify to compete in both the National and Area Championships to have to choose between the two. This is a disappointment in that EI put a lot of effort into its plans to host the Championships in 2020, only to have all of their activities canceled due to the pandemic. In 2021, the AEC’s will be held on the same weekend as the EI Fall event. Regarding the competition calendar, there has been a bit of date shuffling which has impacted where and when we will hold our Area VII Championships in the next couple of years. Our contact information is on our website, section Resources/Area Council. if you would like to become more involved in Area VII activities, please reach out to Luigi or any of the Area VII Council members. Area VII has strong representation at the national level and I’m honored to be a part of our strong team. I’ve enjoyed being Area VII Chair for the past two years and will remain on the Council for the next rotation as I am now on the USEA Board of Governors.
Luigi has prior experience in this role and will be an excellent leader for our Area.
