Owner Ahna Henderson writes: On July 7 & 8, Lola entered her first eventing competition and won the Starter division of the South Farm Horse Trials! She was 10 points ahead after dressage and then went clean in cross country and stadium. This was her first event and after 2 or 3 cross country fences, she "got it" and was galloping along, looking for the next fence. Our next events are the Penny Oaks horse trials in IN Aug. 4 & 5, and then we'll be in Erie, PA Aug. 17 & 18. Hope things are well for you guys and the Chief!
