Team Work
This is a shot of our riders at the Christmas Parade. We received the Second Place Trophy. There were many unusual things about our group. There were four generations of my family riding. The youngest rider was three and the oldest rider was 73. We had riders and rider's families participating, both as riders and walkers. I especially like the fact that some many family members of our riders joined in. Bill and Lea looked great in their Indian attire and each lead the parade riding formerly wild Corolla Spanish mustangs, with Lea riding a stallion. Our group included three formerly wild Corolla stallions and two mares that will produce this some of this spring's new foals for the Corolla off site breeding program. We had the largest group of riders among all of the horse groups and we rode all but four or five of the horses there and home.
We had about 18 riders and every horse in our group was trained by my riders and me. This is how we do things--together as a team.
Awesome! That is quite an accomplishment. You and your little riders always put on a great show and that is because you all are such a great team!
