July 6th, PSEC Beginner Event & Combined Test

PSEC’s 15^th annual Beginner Event & Combined Test had some volunteer issues which Stacey Robbins handled very well. The weather was pretty nice - hot but otherwise good - until the end when rain clouds convened and a gust of wind blew the awards table over smashing the Mystical Magic trophy jumping horse topper which will have to be fixed to get it to this year’s Pony Champion, Charlotte ridden by Gretchen Bloom. The House Chef concession was a hit.
