Dude looks like a lady: USDF treasurer Steve Schubert

Incumbent Region 6 director Donna Longacre bested challenger Peter Rothschild to win another term on the USDF Executive Board. Outgoing Region 8 director Fern Feldman was feted, and newcomer Debra Reinhardt was welcomed. GMO awards were bestowed.

And that, folks, was about it for the BOG, which wrapped two (yes, two!) hours early.

Now I'm off to two horse-health-related education sessions, followed by my own "Looking Back at London" panel discussion and then the Salute Gala and Annual Awards Banquet. Whew! Stay tuned for more news and photos.
