What Activites Does OPRC/SEC Sponsor?
The 2006 SEC schedule is getting underway. On the books so far is a cross country clinic, braiding/wrapping/clipping, horse massage fundraiser, Christmas Party, tack swap, D2 rating day, just to name a few. OPRC hosted a rally in June 2005 at Tranquility Manor Farm Monkton, MD.
Does the OPRC/SEC have Safety Standards?
To participate in an SEC/OPRC mounted event one must get rated. The D1 test is posted on the national chapter site for western/english skills and is conducted on the honor system. You may remain a D1 forever or one can climb the ranks as high as you wish to be challenged.
Please feel free to contact any officers for additional information. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event.
