ILLINI EQUESTRIANS SUMMER 2015

Info

Driving Demonstration

Thank you to Dr. Kline for coming out to teach us about driving. Also, thanks to one of our members, Taylor, for letting us use her horse Audi! We all loved coming out to learn about driving and a few of us even had the opportunity to try it out ourselves! This is just one of the many exciting aspects of being a part of Illini Equestrians!

The weekend of April 24th, many members of the club traveled to Kentucky for Rolex. Some people went on Friday morning to see the Dressage part of the competition, while many left Friday afternoon after classes. Although it rained all day on Saturday, it was still awesome to see the cross-country. Saturday night we went to a reining competition, which many of us greatly enjoyed. Sunday was very enjoyable as well and it was very exciting to see show jumping. I know many of us loved this experience and cant wait to go again next year.
