But the trip with the United States Endurance Team for the Trial Run of the Endurance World Championship was worth it! I ended up in...

Last Walk Through in Senior Mare Championship at The Egyptian Event. Could there be any three shows more different than the Buckeye, Region One and the Event? All are older, respected and classic. The Egyptian Event, 31 this year, is actually the youngest of the three shows.
