"It was a wonderful experience to be on a team with such supportive people," said Chloe. "While Area V did not have our own team in the 1*, everyone else from Area V encouraged each other and helped each other out in the barn. Our combined area 1* team allowed me to meet new, incredibly nice people from areas other than Area V that I may not have had the chance to meet otherwise."

"This has been a very exciting year for me and I am very pleased with the season that Chapter Two, aka Deuce, put in this year," said Rebecca. "There were many firsts for both of us and Deuce handled them with class.  We ran our first FEI event this spring which was the CCI2*-S for the Youth Team Challenge at Aiken.  We then competed another CCI2*-S at Unionville to finish second individually for the Youth Team Challenge.  I cannot say enough how thankful I am for my coach, Missy Ransehousen.  Without her knowledge and words of encouragement, I would not have been able to have all the amazing experiences I had this season."
