A Great Time in Hereford Germany!
Sarah had a chance to represent the United States at the
German
Friendship Games in Hereford, Germany. Held every two
years, this international competition involves junior
riders from 35 nations coming together to compete and
learn from some of the German Olympic riders, currently
the best in the world. The kids compete in two
divisions based on age groups over 4 days. Each rider is
paired with a German counterpart who brings two horses
to the competition. The two compete as a team so that
the emphasis is on developing relationships as much as
competition. But, competition there was amidst pouring
rain and wet fields. Nobody got hurt and everyone had
fun. Except dad who had to stand around until 3 in the
morning for the riders disco party under the tent.
Here are some more pictures. We hope to come back in
2007 as well. |
