Ride for Life...

My Dressage instructor, Nicky Vogel, alerted me to a great event in Upper Marlboro this past Saturday....it was a fund raising event for breast cancer called the Ride For Life, and the venue was the Prince Georges Equestrian Center...The event in particular that we anticipated seeing was the Dancing Horse Challenge...the riders were International and Olympic level competitors...they were so beautiful and talented! The Big Brat, Little Brat, and I made the trip up to see what all the fuss was about, and were greatly impressed....we also learned that we have a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG ways to go yet, that's for sure! They were performing maneuvers you wouldn't believe with a flick of the wrist...It was an impressive show, and I encourage you to attend the likes in your area...it's a win-win for everyone!

Happy Trails,
Leah
