GUIDING EAST TENNESSEE'S EQUESTRIAN ATHLETES SINCE 1977
Despite a deluge of Biblical proportions, the annual Fiesta Farm Fall Horse Show was a success.
Check out OUR ONLINE SLIDESHOW of photos from the show weekend (more photos being added as we get them from riders and parents). As you can see, it may have been wet and muddy, but spirits were high and a good time was had by all!
See you at our Halloween show!

At only their second show together, 9 year old Jane and small pony "Boy Wonder" had a strong showing in Children's Pony, winning first and second in several classes and in the top five in all classes. Most of all, Jane says this show was about learning new skills. She's very proud of how much better she did keeping him straight down the lines and using her space in the ring.
