This weeks featured team is Laura and Mia!
This duo has been working together for two years. They are always the BEST turned out with matching outfits and pads of every beautiful colour. Laura enjoys riding English and jumping. She has a beautiful seat and is always there with a smile. Mia is an excellent all around horse and does everything from Pack trips to zooming around the cross country field. We hope to see them entered in this year’s Eventing Derby!
Laura and her family also take gorgeous photos around the ranch and the jackpots. We appreciate the captured moments throughout the seasons very much 💜🐴
