On May 13th, 2017 Crooked Creek Farm riders invited family and friends to watch them compete in an In-House Horse Show. During the show riders competed at all levels, displaying what they learned over the Fall and Spring. All the riders rode well and the horses enjoyed the cooler weather! Below are highlights from the show for each rider!
