Special Olympics!

We Can Ride had a number of clients compete in the Special Olympics Equestrian Event on August 24, 2007, up at Woodloch Stables in Hugo, Minnesota. These athletes have been training for ten weeks at Bunker Park Stables in preparation for the event. It was a beautiful day that Friday and the competitors did a great job; it was fun to watch them compete in classes that included on-lead and independent guiding! Photos will be arriving on the website soon – please check back to see them. Congratulations to all our winning clients!
