Moorpark Youth Wins 3 Top Ten Awards at Arabian Horse Assoc.
Youth Nationals
Megan, a member of the Conejo Valley Arabian Horse Association, won in
Hunt Seat Equitation, Hunters over fences and Hunter Hack. Megan has
been riding since she was two out at Two Winds Ranch (now Dos Vientos)
in Newbury Park. You could get a pony with a saddle and halter on it for
$5.00 for as long as you wanted to hike around in the hills. She would
say "Mom, can I ride Sparky A Pony?" (Sparky the pony). She also liked
to ride the "Quarter" horse outside K-Mart when she was little. Grandpa
says that's how she got her start was on a quarter horse. Megan also
rode on the beach at Pismo and would ride double with her mother when
visiting relatives in Ohio. She also insisted when she first started
lessons at Fieldstone on having a lesson in the rain, which they gave
her. Since she was 5 she has wanted to be a veterinarian.
Initiated in 1993, Youth Nationals has been The Arabian Horse
Association's premier youth event. Family members accompany the young
competitors for a week of competition and fun-filled activities.
Competition in English, western, side saddle, native costume, working
cow, dressage, and hunter disciplines combined with leadership training,
games, contests, parades and dance parties make this junior rider event
one of the best in the nation.
As a member of CVAHA Youth she is also a member of the Arabian Horse
Association. CVAHA puts on various clinics, seminars and shows
throughout the year. Their next show an ALL BREED SHOW is November 2nd
at the Simi Valley Equestrian Center and is Free to the Public to come
