Part of the Paradocs Farm IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) Team at a recent competition.
At the IEA shows, contestants compete in various divisions, both under saddle and over fences, not on their own horse but on an unfamiliar animal whose name they just drew prior to riding in that class! Very challenging, but our young team has done a good job in its first season!
