GOLD MEDAL RIDE:  Amanda Persons and Neon have just finished their Grand Prix ride on Sunday--the ride that earned Amanda her USDF Gold Medal. Neon looks like he doesn't know it yet! Amanda competed Neon, a 12-year-old Dutch gelding, for the first time this summer at the Grand Prix Level.  They 62.708% score from judge Elizabeth Lewis. Neon is owned by Barbara Shannon who also owns the farm where Amanda teaches and trains in Alpharetta, GA. Their performance was at The Good Horseman/Collecting Gaits Farm Fall Dressage Show Sept. 22-23 at the Georgia International Horse Park.  Amanda knew that she won her medal  even before she left the arena since she could see her score on the EquiVu Electronic Scoreboard, sponsored by Shereen and Jeff Fuqua of Collecting Gaits Farm which is much appreciated.  (Photo by AliciaFrese www.freseframephotography.com )
