Young LisRobin horseriders show well at Skyline Park

 

In their third schooling show of the 2011 season, the Valley's LisRobin Horse Farm's equestrian team - under the direction of Sonoma horse-riding teacher Tiana Wells - took home 16 overall top-five awards, including four first- and four second-place ribbons.

After two energetic efforts at the Napa Valley Equestrian Center and Miwok schooling shows, the young LisRobin horse-riders participated in the Skyline Wilderness Park Schooling Show.
