(Chelsea Update would like to thank Jeff Frank for the information and photos in this story.)
Despite a strong effort, the Chelsea Equestrian Team couldn’t overcome Laingsburg and finished third in District IV of the Michigan Interscholastic Horseman’s Association (MIHA) B-Division competition.
Congratulations to Mason and Laingsburg and good luck at the Regional Meet Sept. 29-30 at the Ingham County Fairgrounds in Mason.
The team thanks coaches Trenda Eversole and Tonya Fisher for all their dedication and hard work to make this team successful and fun. And to all of the parents and extended families, a HUGE thank you for spending 3 days with them in Mason and for everything they do to get the riders through the meets.
Without all of these wonderful people, the team couldn’t do all that it does.
