Do You Have an Unwanted Artificial Christmas Tree?! If you have an artificial Christmas tree that has been collecting dust in your attic and you want to donate it, please consider QPEE! We can use the branches from artificial trees to stuff our cross–country jumps! This is a great use of a non–recyclable resource, as well as helping to cut down on course construction costs. Your donation is tax–deductible, and we will even pick it up from you! Let us know if you have a tree to spare! email QPEE! |
For Your Consideration... Like a kid in a candy shop, the allure of jumps in a field is a strong pull for our area equestrians! While we know that many of you school freely in Queeny Park, please remember that the St. Louis County Parks and Queeny Park do not purchase, construct or maintain any of the portable or permanent cross−country jumps at Queeny Park. Every obstacle in the fields of Queeny Park is because of the volunteer corps of QPEE. We spend many long hours of construction and maintenance to design, test and build these jumps no matter how small or how large, portable or not! As you can imagine, these do not come cheaply! We raise funds for these jumps with our various events, such as sanctioned Schooling Days, Hunter Paces and the Mini–Event.In order to maintain their safety and longevity, we ask you to respect QPEE's efforts in preservation of these jumps. If you are schooling, and you knock one down, please dismount and put it back together. If you come to a jump that is "weedy" and not groomed, don't jump it — this is both for you and your mount's safety, as well as the jump's. Each big jump (beginner novice/novice and above), costs at least $1000 in design/construction/approval costs. Help us keep our jumps around, and keep your competition costs lower, by helping us maintain our course by considerate schooling! |
C. Marvin Harwood, 1918 - 2008 On Saturday, May 10, the St. Louis equestrian community lost a great friend and supporter in Marvin Harwood. He is survived by his wife Marjorie and children, as well as many family and friends across the country.Marvin had been an active part of the St. Louis equestrian community for more than 50 years. He contributed to a variety of disciplines and organizations, both local and national, including steeplechasing, foxhunting, dressage, and horse rescue efforts, the USEA, USPC, USEF, MHSA, two U.S. Olympic Festivals and Queeny Park Equestrian Events. He had been a registered USEF steward for 30 years, officiating at countless championships shows ranging from Madison Square Garden to the American Royal. For ten years, Marvin was the treasurer of the USPC. Last year, Marvin and Marjorie received the Pegasus award from the USEF. A founding member of Queeny Park Equestrian Events, Marvin served as treasurer for over twenty years and as organizer for seven. He directed his energies toward fundraising. With Marvin's help, QPEE's first grant project won national recognition in 1999. There will be a Memorial service held on May 22, 2008, 11:00 a.m., in the chapel at Temple Israel, 1 Rabbi Alvan D. Rubin Drive, just East of Spoede Road on the north side. We will miss him very, very much and we keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. |
