Zone 10 is Double Gold!
Team Day at Young Riders is long and stressful, yet exciting. Not only do the horses and riders have to jump a difficult, long championship course, they have to do it twice. For many riders this is their first opportunity to experience the pressures and rewards of riding on a team, and the Zone 10 kids, sponsored by Great American Insurance looked like pros. The Juniors led off first thing in the morning, and the water jump proved to be the biggest challenge. Course Designer Olaf Petersen, Jr. not only provided a related distance, he did not intend to make the distance tricky. "The juniors need more practice riding water," said Petersen. "Even with a related distance they had a difficult time." The rest of the course proved challenging as well and it wasn’t until the 31st rider (out of 33) that anyone saw a clean round. Zone 10's Lucy Davis executed a smooth, efficient ride aboard Mister Mind and posted the first zero on the scoreboard. ... Read the full article
