The Equiery’s 10th
Annual Junior/Young Rider Gallery!
T e quality of the entries submitted to this year’s Junior/Young Rider Gallery was impressive to say the least, mak- ing selecting just a few for our print edition seemingly impossible. After round after round of narrowing down the submissions, what you see here on the next few pages best represent the spirit of this contest, to showcase Maryland’s talented youth. Enjoy this 10th Anniversary of the gallery and don’t forget to check out
equiery.com at the end of the month for more artwork, photography and writing.
Power of Wills Nicole Kristen Williams, 14, Glen Burnie
With his fi ery head held high the grandson of the great Seattle Slew runs like he never could, but was destined to. No amount of seesawing or emergency rein from his puny hitchhiker is going to hinder his escape from the dreaded shadow at the corner.
Ashlen R. Forbes, 17, Hampstead

She knew
that his 16 hh frame and mile-long legs were all the symbols
of the thing they all thought she couldn’t handle. He was the beast that would never amount to anything. But he was the answer to her prayers.
Charleez Azaria Simcik, 9, Taneytown
Moments before stuffi ng her unruly braid into the sooty helmet and donning her two left gloves, the girl ran her quivering fi ngers down the beast’s long, broad face and searched in those same wild brown eyes, for something to trust. She simply whispered in his fuzzy ear Please be good.
Beautiful Horse Salli Mandel, 12, Washington, DC

His body shines in the afternoon sun, His mane sways as the soft wind around shakes it, His tail swishes as fl ies gather around, I take out my paint and canvas, And start to paint the beauty that I wish would one day, Be mine.
