Alex And Pegasus Mid-flight!

This great shot was taken by la Patrona Polo & Equestrian Club during Alex' jumping competition over the weekend.  The Club, facilities, stables and grounds are just stunning and remind me of skiing at Deer Valley or Snow Basin back in Utah.  Just amazing.

As usual Alex' team, though small and riding on "rescued horses", continued to show that they are a skilled group at all jumping heights in every contest.  I say "rescued" horses because most of the horses Alex' team uses have been "rescued" from neglect, indifferent owners or just plain abandoned. Goes to show that with a skilled trainer, a good coach and dedicated riders many of these horse have been given a new life and the results can be fantastic.

The horse Alex' is most fond of is "Pegasus" and he is a rescue with a less than pleasant personality most of the time.  Alex is the only one who really wants to train and compete with him and they are doing great things together.  Alex placed in 5th place at the 65cm height and competed for her first time at 75cm.
