Angels on Horseback


Checking out the canter


Trying a movement

We have had an influx of vaulters at the Meadow Lakes Equestrian Center, their "home" base here in Kentucky for the competitions at the Ky Horse Park this month. Tonight they had a couple of girls from Johannesburg, South Africa, trying out three horses to use for this weekends competition. I'm posting one girl, the coach of the younger girl. We shall see them this weekend in lower level competition. I also met this year's North American champion vaulter (second year to win) from California, Alicin Devita, a real sweetheart. The California team uses only Warmbloods to compete, it gives them an extra measure of difficulty. I'm looking forward to seeing them all compete this weekend, a test for the World Equestrian Games next year!
