| On Saturday, September 26th, a number of members gathered at NEECA for our second annual "picnic at the park". Attendees were encouraged to try out the newly completed trail loop up to Davenport Pond, ride in the arena and take part in the "Great American Trail Challenge." Pete Whitmore, from It's A Pleasure Training, put on a demonstration with the 3 year old mustang "Isaac" that he is training for the 100 Day Mustang Challenge. You'll see Pete in some of the pictures to the right, he's the one STANDING on the horse w/ the American Flag! Thanks to Pat France, we've got some great pictures to help us remember the day. These shots range from folks heading out to use the trail, spectators enjoying Pete's demonstration, a hungry horse and rider grilling up a burger, and all the riders who took part in the Trail Challenge Class. Many, many thanks to Althea Bramhall for organizing this day, and to Pete Whitmore for putting on a great show with Isaac! |
