Vaulting on horseback - now that is something I would really like to see.  This looks like a great event.

Hi Susan - EquiFest on Saturday was a rousing success!  Weather was perfect, and record numbers of people attended.  Its rare to see such a diverse group of horse people come together to show off what we do.  Kudos to all our performers, and of course our wonderful sponsors and the volunteers who make it all possible.
