THE SHEL GAFFORD AWARD
Each year VADA honors one of its members with the Shel Gafford Award for
Patti Pierucci Clinic @ Silverleaf Excellence in Sportsmanship. This Award is voted on by the VADA membership
Farm. Kathy Rowse: based on nominations submitted by VADA members. The purpose of the Award is to
recognize those of our members who, like Shel, personify the characteristics of good
[email protected] sportsmanship, and to encourage all our members to aspire to the principles of good
sportsmanship that were so much a part of Shel’s personality. We lost Shel 13 years
Bridlewood Estates Dressage ago, but hopefully through this Award, his influence will live on. Please take a few
Schooling Show– Sanctioned by minutes to nominate someone that you feel upholds the spirit of this award. Nominations should be 200 words long and should be submitted by October 15, 2008. DeSVDA. Jennifer Hippensteel:
tails are available on page 28 of the 2008 VADA “Purple Book”. For anyone who
[email protected]
cringes at the thought of a written essay, 200 words go by really quickly. Most people
write two to three times that and then have to edit it down. The slate of nominations
OCTOBER
will appear in all the VADA Chapter November Newsletters, and each chapter will
11‐12 Jim Koford Clinic @ Silverleaf tally its members’ votes by December 15, 2008. So please take a few minutes and

VADA BOARD MEETING
August 23, 2008
Members Present: Alison Douglas, Jane Palmer, Sarah Kern, Dianne Boyd, Janet Brown, Katherine Graman, Robin Dannels, Alison
Head, Beth Rippel, Melyni Worth, Tina Longaker, Tammy Hryczaniuk, Casey Hobaugh, and Sharon Ackley.
The VADA Board met Saturday, Aug 23, 2008 at the Double Tree Hotel in Charlottesville. Minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved. Melyni added that she will not have a booth at the Equine Extravaganza in Richmond as stated. Beth advised that USDF
will however go forward with a booth.
In the absence of Jessie Ginsburg, there was no official treasurer’s report but Alison Head reported a combined balance of approximately $72,796.00. Tina provided a profit and loss statement for the USDF Region I Adult Team Challenge that showed a gross income of $20,810.00 and expenses of $21,931.74 for a loss of $1,121.74. Nancy Lowey, as show manager, provided a written report of
the event, which hosted 24 teams. She has applied for a USDF grant in the amount of $500.00 which would lessen the loss. Mostly
positive feedback was given by those who had been at the event and all agreed the footing and setting were ideal. VADA will present a
proposal at the November 2 Region I meeting at Morven Park to host the event again next year at Commonwealth Park. More participation by VADA chapters will be encouraged.
Dianne Boyd reported on the planning progress for the 2008 BLM Championships. Holly Voloso is the volunteer coordinator. Casey
Hobaugh has created lots of interest in sponsors this year and is working on local support. Chapters are asked to again contribute
$45.00 for the breakfast cars. Casey reported there are twelve confirmed vendors. There is still a need for class sponsors which
costs $35.00 per class. Chapters are encouraged to be class sponsors. Robin Dannels is publishing the program and stressed that the
deadline for the program is September 15. Sharon Ackley is again handling the awards and ribbons for the championships. A variety of
items have been secured for prizes as well as gift certificates. Diane has been working on various menus with the new food vender at
the Horse Center. VADA will provide all the drinks for the duration of the event, which will help to hold down food costs. Alison will do
the stabling layout in coordination with the VHC, which will handle the daily stable management.
Alison reported that the 2009 clinic contract with Anne Gribbon has been signed. The clinic is scheduled for April 4-5, 2009 at
Morven Park. Format and the rider selection process are still under consideration.
Beth provided a quote from Dietrich Equine Insurance Services for D&O insurance coverage for VADA and for those chapters who
submitted financials. Due to the high cost, individual chapters will have to purchase their own policy and cover the cost if they decide
it is needed. As an alternative to a D&O policy, it was suggested that chapters investigate the costs of bonding their financial officer. Robin moved that VADA buy the coverage for D&O insurance offered by Dietrich for $998.00 per year. Tina seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved.
New Business: Publishing the Purple Book vs. making a CD was discussed. All agree that chapters should provide more support by
purchasing more ads. Robin will present a proposal on ways chapters could contribute. There is definite interest in continuing on with
the hard copy and various ways of financing it will be considered. The printing cost and mailing is approximately $5000.00. In regard
to the 2008 Purple Book, Robin clarified that there is an FEI award for the schooling shows in the VADA awards section. A total of 3
scores must be submitted.
Alison Douglas requested that drop off places be established by chapters for donations to the silent auction for the VADA banquet. Each chapter should designate a person (coordinator) to be the collector. She will send a form to be used. The Feb. 8, 2008
awards banquet will again be held at the Double Tree Hotel in Charlottesville. It will be a sit-down dinner this year.
Chapters were encouraged to contribute to the USDF convention basket by bringing items to the next VADA meeting. Members
interested in attending the Dec.3-6 convention in Denver should contact Beth. The meeting was adjourned at 1:25 p.m. The next
VADA Board meeting is Nov. 16 at the Double Tree, 11:00 a.m.
These minutes are subject to review and correction at the next VADA Board meeting.
Respectfully submitted , Jane Palmer, Secretary

How to Successfully Enter an SVDA Schooling Show or Clinic SVDA wants our members to participate in all SVDA activities! But first, you must fill out and submit your entry forms or clinic applications correctly. Please use these guidelines when entering SVDA events: •
Make sure you mail your entry to the correct entry secretary or clinic chairperson. Check the website for the event’s date, secretary’s name and address. •
•
•
Emailed and/or telephoned entries ARE NOT ACCEPTED! Your entry must be received by the secretary AFTER the opening date. Your entry must be postmarked ON OR BEFORE the closing date. Be sure to use enough postage. •
Please print your information legibly and include a phone number and email address. Entry forms for shows and/or clinics must be signed! •
Make sure to add late fees and/or non‐member fees, if applicable. Enclose a signed check in the correct amount, made payable to SVDA. •
Call or email the secretary to be sure your entry has arrived. IT IS THE RIDER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE AN ENTRY IS RECEIVED. •
Note the rider’s name in the memo section of the check if it’s different from the name on the check. •
SVDA keeps Coggins tests on file until they expire. You only need to submit a Coggins with your first entry of the year, after that, we’ll have it until the expiration date. Make sure all information on your Coggins is legible. The name of the horse on the Coggins must match the name of the horse on the entry form. •
The entry secretary is not required to call riders with the scheduled ride times. The schedule is generally posted on the website the Wednesday before a show or the rider can contact the secretary Wednesday through Friday before the show. •
For schooling shows, entries scratched after the closing date forfeit their entry fees unless a vet note is presented. For clinics, there are no refunds whatsoever after the closing date unless you find someone to fill your spot. •
If your entry is late, you will be placed on a waiting list. The secretary will call you if there is a scratch that you could possibly fill. There is no guarantee that late entries will be given a ride time. •
Entry secretaries (and other SVDA workers) are volunteers! Please treat them respectfully. • For schooling shows: We cannot honor everyone’s special requests for ride times. We will ATTEMPT to honor REASONABLE special requests, such as if you are trailering in another exhibitor. There are many factors that influence how shows are scheduled, so please be courteous and do not make a request that is for your convenience only. •
For clinics: You must clearly request any needs – such as if you are trailering with someone, or if you can only ride in the morning or afternoon due to work obligations. Ride times cannot be scheduled around your volunteer times, or vice versa. If you wish to volunteer and ride at the same show, you must get your ride times first, then volunteer for a morning or afternoon job opposite your test time (i.e., if your ride times are in the morning, you can volunteer in the afternoon). We hope this helps clarify the entry process. Full and pasture horse board available
