Star-Studded Competition, continued...
Silver Spring and now training out of Pennsylvania,
rode
the seven-year-old Hanoverian mare Diantha, owned by a good friend of the Ride for Life, Tanya Horning. Tanya is a breast cancer survi- vor, and was an en- thusiastic member of the group from North Carolina called “Caravan for the Cure.” She and her friends came to the show in the past to compete and brought pledg- es from their ambitious fund-raising eff orts. When Brendan relocated to Pennsylvania at the end of April, it was decided that Diantha should come with him for more training and then show at the Ride for Life, where Tanya would meet them and bring her mare home. Happily, Brendan said, “Diantha started to come into her own a couple weeks before the show.” T ey won all three First Level tests with 70.2% in First Level Test 2 and 72.1% and
74.1% twice for Test 3, which was the High Score in First Level and High Score for the show. For Brendan, the Ride for Life was a return home. He enjoyed seeing old friends, including Mi- chele Wellman, the Chairman of the Ride for Life. T ey have been acquainted since long ago at Red- demeade where Michele was a young instructor when an even younger Brendan started his rid- ing career.
