This group will be traveling to Special Olympics at Troy University to compete this coming spring!
Due to a student absence, our volunteer, Janet Smith was willing to ride in the drill in place of the student so the drill would be uniform. She also took the opportunity to work with one of our newest equine staff, Sven.
One of the hardest elements incorporated into this drill was two sets of circles. With six horse and riders, keeping spacing and uniformity consistent is a real challenge. The kids did an excellent job!

Even though Jim Bob is our oldest horse in the barn, he is still full of energy and loves to work. Shea also loves to ride and this makes them a great team!
