A Saskatchewan team of athletes went to Ottawa Sept. 23 to represent their province at the Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian Championships.
The group consisted of reiners, dressage riders and jumpers. The reining team members were junior rider Cyane Sperle of Unity, and senior riders Arisha Moen and Carol Weiler. The coach was Shauna Getz.
Due to the great distance, the riders could not bring their own horses. So the Saskatchewan Horse Federation leased horses for the athletes. Leased horses always bring several challenges but with determination and excellent guidance from the coach the team managed well.
The team only got two practice sessions on their horses before they started the competition. All the team members earned top 10 placings over the three days.
When the dust settled, Arisha claimed the senior individual bronze medal.
