2011Deep Run Hunter Trials November 20th
Report by Pattie Boden
FHC riders had a great day at the Deep Run Hunter Trials! Congrats to Champions Emily Bassett, Kiki Osborne, Shawnee Baker and great riding by Emily Digney and Dale Dealtrey.
Whitney Digney and I had a hard time keeping up with all these ribbons for sure! There were about 22 riders in each age group and division, so these ribbons and trophies were well earned.
I think it is especially great that our riders won most of the ribbons in the "best turned out" class - we should all be especially proud of how great we were represented in some very tough competition.
More photos to come soon from Emily and Whitney.
