Congratulations to Zone 5 reserve champion rider, Abbie Storandt, on her placing in the 2022 Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund/USHJA Emerging Athletes Program National Training Session! 

"I had a lot of fun and I learned a lot. It is really nice to have a lot of people that believe in you and think so highly of you, especially amazing clinicians like Colleen Reed and Peter Wylde," commented Storandt on her experience. "I feel like we all did a really great job and we all worked really hard for it. I am just really grateful I got picked to be Reserve Champion."

As Reserve Champion, Storandt received an invitation to a 2023 Gold Star Clinic, a handwoven belt from Boy O Boy Bridleworks, a pair of Parlanti paddock boots and a SmartPak gift card.
