Eavan Bronfman and Anna Moellenhoff, fourth-graders at Glorietta Elementary School, competed in a horse show at Leap of Faith Farms in Walnut Creek on Saturday, May 12. The show was a benefit for the Leaps & Bounds Equine Assisted Therapy Center. The show featured more than 30 individual events, both Western and English, and 80 participants ranging in age from seven to 72.
Moellenhoff rode her own horse, Jezebel, and won four ribbons, including a blue ribbon (first place) in 11-and-under Walk, Trot, Canter English Equitation. Bronfman rode Sweet Pea, a pony owned by Leap of Faith Farms, and won six ribbons, including a blue ribbon for High Point scorer of the day. The girls teamed up and won second place in a fun event called "Drag Bag," which included two riders, one horse, and a dress-up bag of clothes.
This was the first Leaps & Bounds horse show, and it raised over $10,000 for the program.
