Get Ready... Competitive Mounted Orienteering

This is the first ever Competitive Mounted Orienteering Meet in Alabama.  Jill and Patricia are out-of-towners at this event.  I walked over and said hello to some of the local competitors.  They looked forward to working with their horses on this new activity and excited to compete today.
