What is the MVEA?
|
The Miami Valley Equestrian Association is a non-profit organization comprised of equestrians like you who are passionate about growing our local equestrian community. Our goal is to promote equestrianism and the sport of Eventing by preserving our local green space and providing access to community education and equine focused events. Much of our fundraising effort is dedicated to the conservation and improvement of Twin Towers Horse Park in Fairborn, Ohio, which is a valuable schooling and competition venue in our area. To support our mission, MVEA hosts organized schooling days, sanctioned and unsanctioned horse shows, riding clinics, and various other events at Twin Towers. All equestrian enthusiasts are welcome in our group! There are plenty of opportunities for spectating, participation, and learning with both feet on the ground at our events. You do not need to be a member to participate, but MVEA members receive discounts on participation in our shows and clinics. Our schooling shows offer a variety of classes including leisurely touring the grounds of the park, dressage tests of choice, jumper rounds, and mini trials. Many of our members participate in competitions called Horse Trials which you can learn more about at www.discovereventing.com and www.useventing.com |

Beth’s interest in horses began at an early age; she caught the eventing bug in the 1990's and has often found herself at the top of the USEA leaderboards at Training and Preliminary levels. Beth's interest in Twin Towers Horse Park as her favorite schooling facility has inspired her to donate generously towards building the water and bank complexes.
