Spring Ride-A-Test with Danielle Menteer
Saturday, April 30th, 2022 at Masterfare Equestrian Center
Three juniors and five adults participated in the Ride-A-Test clinic. The juniors earned schooling show scores that helped them for the Ohio State Fair. Drizzly rain in the morning did not hamper Danielle’s pace in judging/coaching the participants. The afternoon cleared and a scratch allowed for a more relaxed pace in the afternoon.
