Riverwood Travels to Lexington for the 2007 TRAV Show

The weekend of October 13 & 14 2007, five Riverwood students, three horses and eight staff and volunteers traveled to Lexington, VA. Our riders spent the weekend at the 15th annual Therapeutic Riding Association of Virginia Horse Show. The show hosted over 125 riders along with their horses, coaches, volunteers and parents. Riverwood has attended this show for the past 6 years and each year continues to amaze us when we watch our students perform. This year, our students competed in 4 classes each in 3 different divisions. Chris Hamilton and Jillian Rogers competed in the minimal trot division; Austin Holloway competed in the intermediate trot division; Liz Baldwin and Moriah Shore competed in the advanced trot division. All riders participated in trail, pole bending, and equitation and dressage classes.
