Presently, Beth is partial to her 6-year-old Oldenburg Silhouette. He is currently competing at First Level. “My favorite horse is Spider, a 7-year-old Holsteiner/
Thoroughbred who was new to the program this past year,” says Lindsey Elwell, a Junior at Johnson and Wales. “He came in as one of the greener horses with an eventing background.

Georgia, and then he came up to stay,” she continues. “Splash is a Holsteiner gelding. He’s a great jumper. When we got him here, he’d only done dressage. We quickly learned that he was better over the fences.” Lindsey agrees. “One of my favorites, Splash, came with
