“The EAF is an excellent example
of how the equestrian community
is there for each other! Great
riders, staff and countless workers
all volunteered their time for the
help of equestrians needing help,”
said Courtney King-Dye. “It was
not only a great cause, it was a
blast! I awarded the FarmVet Team
an extremely high score simply
because they showed the team
spirit that embodied the night, flled
with cheerleaders in honor of Super
Bowl night!”
MeadowView’s Nicki Simpson
earned second, riding to “Save a
horse, ride a cowboy.”
Umpired by Marcelo Cabeza
of MAC Polo on his pink, polo

With all the points totaled from
each discipline, it was Team
FarmVet with the victory for the
second year in a row!
“I am very excited about the
success of the event and how many
people showed up to support EAF. I
look forward to 2013,” said Christian
