Being part of the 2016 Equestrian Team included this and so much
more. A bond between horse and rider as well as among team
mates was forms to produce a force to be reckoned with.
Congratulations go to an Equestrian Team like no other. Every one
of you deserves a massive rosette. A big thank you to all members
of the team, whether rider, horse, instructor or truly loving parents.
Furthermore, none of this year would have been possible without our personal
