Eleven Strides/Sinlimites riders took home colorful ribbons and tophies at the the Hansen Dam Equestrian Center on September 28, 2008, put on by the Kiwanis club as a benefit for therapeutic riding centers. Strides has participated in this show every year since our inception. Twelve of our riders signed up for the show. Unfortunately, Tess was ill and unable to participate. Participating were: Harrison Berlin, Katy Tennesen, Henry Chadavarian, Dina Dror, Melinda George, Kaarya Hammond, Emelia Mancia, Blake Mills, Devin Munoz, and Kyle Porkowsky.
We are proud of all of our riders, who took ribbons in Equitation (demonstration of basic riding skills at the walk, trot, halt, turns, and backing up), Trail (riding through an obstacle course to demonstrate control of the horse under trail riding conditions), and Futures (pre-dressage test,where riders follow a specific set of movements around the arena.)
We don't yet have the complete set of results, but we do have a slide show of the riders (see above). Congratulations to all of you! Our volunteers this year were the best we have ever had, and made the show go smoothly for us, and our horses, Beau, Chiquita, Padu, Mavica and Monoply, were great! Everyone had a wonderful time, and we are looking forward to doing it again next year.
