Lauren was a bit bummed as Joanie was gimpy for her jog out -
however, she passed with flying colors the next morning!

Happy to drink from the public trough at the halfway point

So happy that Joanie smiled!!!

Pony Club Tetrathalon Rally - July 2009

We enjoyed 2 days of nice weather for our regional

Tetrathalon competition at Jefferson County Fairgrounds.

Sarah the shooter!

Sarah got to help Miss Britt load her pistol


Anthony used a chair to perfect his shot (didn't know that was allowed...)

Alicia had fine form over the jumps in the running phase.

Note, she still keeps her heels down - even when she's running!

April and Alicia were in the same heat.

Alicia kicked butt and came in second!

KEC Fan Club Cheering Section!

Anthony had to jump big over the real crossrails!

On your mark, get set, GO!!

Nice tight knees over the fences Sarah - George Morris would be proud!

Anthony and Miss Britt looking absolutley thrilled to be running at 7:30 in the morning!
Anthony and Angel had a clear round
