ILLINI EQUESTRIANS

SUMMER 2015

Driving Demonstration

Thank you to Dr. Kline for coming out to teach

us about driving. Also, thanks to one of our
members, Taylor, for letting us use her horse
Audi! We all loved coming out to learn about
driving and a few of us even had the opportunity
to try it out ourselves! This is just one of the
many exciting aspects of being a part of Illini
Equestrians!

SUMMER 2015

Rolex
The weekend of April 24th, many members of the club traveled
to Kentucky for Rolex. Some people went on Friday morning
to see the Dressage part of the competition, while many left
Friday afternoon after classes. Although it rained all day on
Saturday, it was still awesome to see the cross-country.
Saturday night we went to a reining competition, which many
of us greatly enjoyed. Sunday was very enjoyable as well and it
was very exciting to see show jumping. I know many of us
loved this experience and cant wait to go again next year.
