Riding At Wildwood

                On Saturday April 13, freshman, Holly Womack participated in an event at Wildwood Hills Ranch, outside of St. Charles. Womack put her horse riding skills to work as she gave a performance for a fundraising event.

                Holly was asked to participate in the event because she has a few years of riding under her belt. As she brainstormed ideas for her routine, she finally decided on “Roman riding”. Roman riding is an act where one rider has two horses and stands with one foot on the back of each horse. Womack only had about three weeks to prepare herself.

                Congratulations on your successful performance, Holly!
