Saturday and Sunday!  Thrilling games competition featuring four of the top finishing Advanced Pairs mounted games teams from the 2006 United States Pony Club Eastern Championships. 

We are thrilled to welcome these skilled teams as they compete in the 2006 Founders Cup invitational games competition, sponsored by Mounted Games Across America, Inc. 

The teams invited to the Founders Cup are pairs, with members in their late teens to early twenties.  Teams participating are Lady Hawks, team members Rachel Welniak and Mitchell Vassallo from the Maryland Region of USPC; Crawdaddies, team members Val Brown and Jon Hoke from the Virginia Region; Dual Exhaust, team members Kyley Hellhake (below on Chincoteague Minnow) and Alex Menghetti (right on Skies the Limit) from the Eastern Pennsylvania Region; and Blue Brothers, team members Carson Rutledge and Drew Sargent from the Old Dominion and Carolina Regions.

 Mounted Games, an internationally recognized equestrian sport rapidly growing in popularity across the United States, is composed of a wide range of relay races played on horseback by teams of 2 or 4 riders.  Exciting for spectators to watch and easy to understand, the sport develops strength, agility and exceptional coordination in the rider, and obedience and courage in the mounts.

For more information on mounted games, please visit the website of Mounted Games Across America at www.mountedgames.org.
