It was a successful day at Castle Leslie with 38 riders traveling down for the day and a entourage of spectators. There was a few thrills and spills but everyone came home safe and sound. There was a special question and answer session to the group from Carlos Tabernaberri about horse training and care. The rain threatened all day but held off until we were traveling home on Boyce’s bus. Thank you to everyone
