The meet was held at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds; athletes trailered in their mounts on Thursday afternoon and got ready for three full days of competition. The team is made up of 10 athletes, three returning from last year and seven new team members. There is a high level of talent and commitment that is necessary to compete in equestrian events at the high school level: Not only do ath- letes have to condition them- selves, but they are respon- sible for the care and peak performance of their horses. Coaches Annie Winter and Julie Knirk were extremely happy with how the team performed, with many suc- cesses in a variety of events. They also commended the team spirit that each athlete showed and the supportive atmosphere that helped buoy each other up when things did not quite go as planned. The incoming winter storm meant that some of the gaming events had to be postponed until the next meet (March 15-17 at Brasada Equestrian Center). coffee stand with truck PHOTO PROVIDED Jackson Robinson and Booker doing working rancher.
