What do you get when you combine the sizzling, high-pressure atmosphere of Dressage at Devon's Dixon Oval and 12 junior riders, all girls between 14 and 18 years old?
You get meltdowns, some tears, lots of laughs, friendships forged in the fire of high-pressure, wildly decorated barns, and gleeful expectations. Oh yes, and there's the national championship too.
Led by Noel Williams on Pik-L, who also won the individual competition, Team Liberty grabbed the top spot in the USEF Junior Team Dressage Championship on Sept. 30-Oct. 2.
