As 2019 comes to a close, we are reflecting on what an amazing year Horse & Rider has had. One of the highlights of our year was the CSHA Gymkhana State Show of Champions!
Nearly every one of our 15 competitors finished in the top 10 of their Division (winning a buckle), and two of our riders won 1st place in their Division, each winning a saddle!! Unbelievable!!
Some of these kids are as young as 10, and they competed with such poise and strength. We could not be prouder of our amazing Gymkhana competitors!!!
Here are the results, broken down by Division:
Division 3:
11th: Addison Heitmann & Rascal
