After a two day testing at Jumping Branch Farm in Aiken, S.C., the United States Pony Club awarded the Traditional A Rating to Eliza Culbertson. She is the first Carolina Region Pony Clubber to earn the A since 2008, and the fifth in her club, Greenville Foothills Pony Club, since its inception in 1970. Culbertson is pictured here with her trainer, Beth Perkins of Hobby Horse Farm in Rutherfordton, and Fernhill Cove, a borrowed mount owned by Annie Eldridge of Southern Pines, N.C. and Duxbury, Mass.
