OT: My Niece Wins "Bretina Cup" National Title
My niece Claire Manhard was competing this weekend at the 2019 U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions in the USEF Young Adult 'Bretina Cup' Dressage National Championship division -- and she won the national championship!!!
That's Claire with her horse Wilfonia wearing the upside down "Notre Dame pin."
