Demo at World Equestrian Drill Team Competition in Athens, TX
The Gold Star Pacesetters once again attended the World Equestrian Drill Team competition in Athens, TX. Here they performed a demo in front of an enthusiastic crowd of fellow equestrians. The girls practiced on the barrels outside the arena for most of the day as people looked on and asked questions. This gave the girls the opportunity to share information about their sport and teach a few some of the basics. Then it was time to get ready to perform. The team dressed and prepared Gus for the big debut. At show time, Anna, Lily, Alyssa and Carolina performed the compulsories at the walk. Adelee performed them at the Canter. Then it was freestyle time. Alyssa and Carolina performed their freestyles at the walk. Lily performed a freestyle on the barrel and Adelee performed a freestyle at the trot. To Finish off the demonstration, four of the members of the team put on their Pink Ladies jackets and jumped onto the 4 barrels across the front of the arena and went to town with a synchronized barrel routine to "Rockin' Robin" What a crowd pleaser and performance. The girls pulled off one of the best demonstrations they have had. We are so proud to call these girls "The Pink Ladies of Gold Star Pacesetters" Pictures by Malia Maureen Photography. See Photos
