Lily will tell you her- self that she did not start the 2012 season with the goal of winning this award or really any big wins at all. “I just really wanted to do well and learn as much as I could,” she said. Of course, suc- cess just fuels confi dence and her year with Logan brought both. Just a few of her big show championship titles include State College Classic Horse Show,

Future Plans Lily does not see herself stop-

has moved on from Logan and Charlie and now is working with a new pony, China Hill, for whom her parents arranged a lease to buy. “We are happy to give her as much support as we can,” Laura said. Lily and China Hill have not shown yet as the pony is only eight years old and still green. “ I just want to do well and be able to ride her well,” Lily said adding, “She loves to jump and is really helping me to become a better rider.” Amy has no doubt that the pair will be win- ning soon, saying, “She is very patient with her ponies. She always is working with the pony to get the most out of it. She is using what she learned on Logan to make the next champion.” As for Logan, he’s
