To finish the day sophomore Sarah Wung won her walk/trot class. Overall, the team won 19 blue ribbons throughout the day and every team member worked incredibly hard to run the show. Some members arrived at 5:00 a.m. to prepare the horses and had the difficult task all day of preparing to compete while managing the horses. The Pioneers continue next spring as it hopes to qualify for zone finals as a team.
