  • United States Military Academy Morgan Farm Arena Indoor Equestrian Facility West Point, New York
    Introducing the United States Military Academy Morgan Farm Arena Indoor Equestrian Facility West Point, New York West Point Association of Graduates History In 1846, West Point constructed the largest indoor arena in the world at the time (now Thayer Hall), representing West Point’s commitment to and emphasis on equestrian training. From this training developed many Olympic riders. In all, 40 West Point graduates have gone on to become Olympic riders—not to mention those who competed in polo or pentathlon, like General George S. Patton. Patton competed in the Olympics’ first modern pentathlon in 1912. In this event, Patton put to use the skills learned at West Point and received a perfect score in the horse riding competition, placing fifth overall. Riding is truly an integral part of West Point’s history, and although it is no longer part of the cadet curriculum and the indoor facility is long gone, the strong bond between West Point and the horse endures. Today’s West Point Equestrian Team is a nationally competitive team, competing in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, which boasts over 400 colleges and nearly 8,000 riders nationwide. West Point riders have consistently placed in championship positions at the regional and national levels. Site The team currently possesses excellent outdoor riding arenas and stable facilities at the Morgan Farm Equestrian Complex. However, unfortunately, these riding facilities do not provide protection from inclement weather and seasonal changes, making it impossible to ensure consistent year-round training. The team is therefore hindered by a significant loss of practice time each year when compared with that of their competitors.

  • Place Names of Casey and Cardinia
    Place Names of Casey and Cardinia Casey Cardinia Libraries have compiled this list of place names and their meanings from the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire and related neighbouring areas. It includes early schools in the area, as school names often reflected the fluidity of town names in the early days. They also indicate the locations of towns that no longer exist. Army Road, Pakenham Army Road marks the location of the Salvation Army boy's home established in Pakenham in 1900. It subsequently became a home for Girls and then an Old Men's Home. The home closed in the 1920s. The Army Road School. No.3847, operated intermittently form 1914 until 1947. (W, V) Avonsleigh John (J.W) and Anna wright owned a guesthouse called Avonsleigh House at the corner of Emerald-Macclesfield and Emerald Roads. The name was adopted in 1911. The area was previously known as East Emerald. See also Wright Railway Station. (C) Balla Balla The Balla Balla run on Rutherford inlet was taken up in 1839 by Robert Innes Allan. The meaning is uncertain. Ballarat is aboriginal for resting or camping place from balla 'resting on one's elbow; and arat 'place', so it could mean 'resting'. Another possible meaning is 'mud'.There is a Balla Balla river, near Whim Creek, in the Pilbara Western Australia which was first recorded by Surveyor, Alexander Forrest in 1879. The name is thought to be derived from the Aboriginal word parla, from the Kariyarra language, meaning 'mud'. (B) Ballarto Road John Bakewell retained ownership of the Tooradin run in 1856 when his partnership with John Mickle and William Lyall dissolved.
