Sorry for the late update on the Carolina Classic tournament in Pinehurst, NC;
The USPC Team comprised of Gracie Gill, Emma Bellet, Nick Balogh, Peter Balogh, Andrew Diemer, and Catherine Hannigan played in B grade and were undefeated the entire weekend. They played superbly and won numerous individual awards and honorable mentions. Peter won Best #1, Emma won Best #2, and Catherine won Best #3 with an honorable mention given to Andrew. Pinky (Peter), Stella (Andrew), and Willow (Catherine) all received honorable mentions for Best Horse.
Trevor Birr also attended playing with Sandie Creek on a borrowed horse in D grade.

The team is selling t-shirts to raise money, and had a fantastic live auction at the tournament.
