  • Courtney Wood,      Chico High School
  • Anthony Sanfilippo  Core Butte Charter School
  • Kaydi Lewis,           Core Butte Charter School
It was a pleasure interviewing these candidates and not an easy task to have to decide on the recipients.  All of the candidates were very well qualified and have great records in school and in their extra curricular activities such as 4-H, FFA, &/or sports and other community related activities.  These 3 excelled in all aspects.

Good Job and Good luck.

THANK YOU CEA MEMBERS!! 

About Our Organization:

 

Chico Equestrian Association is made up of an enthusiastic group of Butte County residents who enjoy horses and horseback riding.

 

We are fortunate to have our own special place located inside Chico's beautiful Bidwell Park, a huge, tree-filled municipal park that begins in Chico's quaint downtown area and extends north-eastward up into the rugged, rocky foothills. Nestled in an area just below the foothills is CEA's home, which includes a club house, a fenced riding arena, a dressage arena, a round pen, and trail trials obstacles. From this location, riding trails lead off in all directions, allowing riders to explore the many fascinating areas of the park.

 

Annie Bidwell, who gifted  Bidwell Park to the community back in 1905, said that horses should always have a place in the park. CEA members firmly agree and are dedicated to seeing that Annie's wishes are carried out. Our group also helps promote community awareness of horses, and we donate funds to horse-related organizations. Furthermore, we provide plenty of fun and educational activities all year long for our members and the community. CEA is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
