Washington County Fairgrounds, Lake Elmo, MN
2011 MWHA Early Bird Show
2011 MN Horse Expo
Horseback at the MN Horse Expo: I have never had this much fun experiencing four seasons in three days (sunshine and 70s, rain and clouds, snow and wind)!
I rode Gift of Freedom, my seven-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse mare as part of the Minnesota Walking Horse Association demonstration team. We rode in the daily Parade of Breeds, Breed Demonstrations, and I was a demonstration rider for National Gaited Clinician Gary Lane.

Rum River Equestrian Farm in Princeton held the Minnesota Walking Horse Association’s Second Annual Trail Clinic. Gaited and non-gaited clinic participants learned how to ride their horses with more confidence how to negotiate and ride over and through obstacles and minimize spooking. Participates enjoyed a “just for fun” broomball game Saturday evening.
On Sunday, riders tested their new skills and challenged their abilities in a friendly competition.
