Sound Bite: Karl Cook on winning the NAYRC Individual Gold
"Winning young riders is a culmination of a lot of hard work and a lot of preparation. I landed of the last oxer and I was like, 'Oh-my-God, I won!' I really couldn't really believe that I actually did it. It was really amazing cantering around the ring knowing I just won the North American Young Riders Championships."
Look for Zone 10 articles by Diane Korsh in September's Hunter Jumper Magazine and an upcoming article by Rebecca Walton in ShowBiz California.
Congratulations to all of the Young Riders who performed so amazingly well this year.

Thanks to the countless others whose immeasurable help was priceless, and we look forward to letting you all know how appreciative we are in every way possible.
