2005 Annual Meeting:
Friday, January 14, 2005
By Brian Sosby
Friday proved to be a day of widespread celebration at the 2005 USEF Annual Meeting as two special events brought audiences to their feet with thunderous applause and accolades for the national, international and Olympic-level athletes that were saluted for their competitive efforts and hard work in 2004. In addition, those honored during the year’s most anticipated awards program – the Pegasus Dinner – were championed not only for their successes in the past year, but for many tremendous achievements throughout their lives. Some of the greatest equestrians in American history were present for the event. It was appropriate to say, “Greatness was in our midst.”
