EDITOR: Elizabeth Jones Help with classlist DISTRIBUTION: Marie Phillips changes for next season! http://mepsa1.tripod.com MEPSA is an educational group for model horse enthusiasts, promoting the hobby of model horse mail-in photo showing. The purpose of this newsletter is to provide information to showers who do not have internet access. It is mailed free of charge (courtesy of Marie Phillips).

  • EAP Current Events Study Guide
    EAP Current Events Study Guide The Current Events Study Guide is the creation of the USHJA’s EAP Committee. It covers the following International competitions: • Olympic Games 1912 – 2016 • Pan American Games 2003 – 2015 • World Equestrian Games 2002 – 2014 • World Cup Finals 2000 – 2017 The Study Guide is broken down by year. The information for each venue includes: • Individual and team medal/top four results • USA placing for all athletes • Horse and rider combinations • Horse descriptions • Horse breeding (if available) • Course designers • Information on the history of the games • Information on the controversy of the games 1 THE COMPETITIONS The Olympic Games are held every four years. Show jumping was first held at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden. Women were not permitted to compete in the Olympic Equestrian sport until 60 years ago. Denmark’s Lis Hartel, individual silver medalist in Dressage at the 1952 Olympic Games, was one of four female riders competing in Helsinki. The first woman to participate in Olympic Jumping was Pat Smythe (GBR), who won team bronze at the 1956 Olympic Games in Stockholm. The minimum age for riders is 18 years of age. Horses must be at least 9 years old. The Pan American Games are held the year before the Olympic Games. The first Pan American Games was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1951. The World Equestrian Games (WEG) is held two years after the Olympic Games. “The first World Equestrian Games was held in Stockholm, Sweden in 1990. The idea behind the World Equestrian Games came into being in the mid-1980’s and was strongly supported, if not originally proposed, by HRH Prince Philip, the then-FEI President.
