News from Joy of Riding Participants

From member Jody Childs:
        "In 2010 Junior (Me Llamo Altanero) and I successfully completed 10 ACTHA competitive trail rides.  At several of the rides I brought with me as many as nine other riders,  so sometimes 10 to 20 percent of the total number of horses at the ride were Peruvians!  I feel this has been a great venue for me to showcase our beloved breed. "
