Swan View Drill Team Wins First Place
in National Competition
The Swan View Therapeutic Riding Center drill team gave a winning performance at the United States Equestrian Drill Competition at Canton Texas in June 2007. The competition featured over 60 drill teams from all around the USA. The 2007 Swan View team was made up of Collin riding Pisac, Cathleen on Durango, Ryan on Victor, and Carolyn on Cadete.
Swan View specializes with Peruvian horses, and the Peruvian theme was carried out in the performance with Andean music, traditional rider attire, and display of Peruvian flags.
Riders are only an arms length apart in the join-up formation.
Collin and Pisac lead the carrousel maneuver, with the team pivoting around Carolyn and Cadete.
Riders Cathleen, Ryan and Collin present the championship flag, thanks to SuperRide Director Gary Booner's sponsorship.
