<strong>FRC</strong> Scholarship Reminder<br />
One of the perks of being an <strong>FRC</strong> member, is that you are eligible to apply<br />
for one of the four $250 <strong>Member</strong> Scholarships that we award each year.<br />
Scholarships can be used in a variety of ways. In the past, they have been used for riders to<br />
defer the cost of going to events such as championship competitions, rare educational opportunities,<br />
or clinics applicable to your discipline. There are only a few requirements to be<br />
considered for a scholarship. You must be a member at the time of your application, and<br />
you also must be willing to share the knowledge you gained through your scholarship experience<br />
with the club in some way (ideas must be approved by the scholarship committee).<br />
This could be a short presentation at one of our seminars, info table or infographic at shows,<br />
newsletter report, etc.<br />
Want to apply for a scholarship, but not sure if your endeavor would be approved- don’t worry!<br />
The application is short, sweet and to the point. If there happens to be an influx of applicants<br />
at any deadline, volunteer service to the <strong>FRC</strong> in the current and preceding membership<br />
year will be considered when awarding scholarships. Application deadlines are April<br />
1 st , July 1 st , October 1 st , and January 1 st depending on the date of the event. Any member<br />
is eligible to apply!<br />

The first weekend of <strong>November</strong>, two <strong>FRC</strong> members, Cathy Berlin and Sue Mullen, audited a trainer's symposium with clinicians<br />
Charlotte Bredahl-Baker and Anne Gribbons, put on by the Georgia Dressage and Combined Training Association and hosted by<br />
Shannondale Farm near Alpharetta, GA.<br />
Fourteen horse and rider combinations each rode two days under the astute and educated eyes of Gribbons and Bredahl-<br />
Baker. Some were on their own horses, while others rode client horses.<br />
Anne Gribbons is a former USEF technical advisor. She has trained and shown 16 of her own horses to Grand Prix - 9 of which<br />
were long listed for the US Equestrian Team. Charlotte Bredahl-Baker is the US dressage developing coach, has been on US medal<br />
winning teams two times, was a selector for two Olympics, and has been awarded the USEF gold medal of distinction.<br />
A memorable saying from Anne: "now she has a nice melody to her trot".<br />
And from Charlotte: "never get greedy - stop before you make a mistake".<br />
It was a fun and inspirational weekend watching two renowned coaches help trainers train!<br />
