Reader Photo Challenge: Be Bold
Be bold, be brave.
If there’s one thing equestrians are known for, it’s being bold — after all, we’re involved in a sport where our “teammate” is a 1,200 lb. animal. We wanted to see our readers being bold and you delivered! Whether in the ring, on the polo field or hitting the trails, here’s a round-up of our brave, bold, talented readers going on adventures with their horses!
