on track. Louis Stewart took first
with Clarence McKinley in a
close second. Third place went
to Ahliyah Hisatake.
The most inspirational rider
of the day was Charles Yallup..
Charles and his horse, Magic,
attempted to start during the
younger age division, but despite
Charles’ encouragement, his
horse refused to go. Charles
persevered and ran in the older
age bracket, finishing to much
applause. Great job on the ef-
fort, Charles!
Again we would like to say
a big “Thank you!” to all the
sponsors. Without you, this
experience would not have,
been possible for the kids.}
Thank you for your gener
osity.
Thanks also to all the vol
unteers who helped in so
many ways. Congratulations
to all the riders and We’ll see
you next year. Thanks again.
