Rocking Horse December H.T.

We are very excited to now offer the MODIFIED Division. Rocking Horse Stables will be donating the proceeds of this division to help with ongoing expenses for long time competitor, Jennifer Wiedrick, who was injured in a riding accident in April. Information will be available on site for any competitors that may also wish to help with this effort. Our goal is to raise $6500 for a much needed shower retrofit.
