St. Croix Trail Blazers Compete in Minnesota Special Olympics Fall Games

On August 17th, the St. Croix Trail Blazers, located in Stillwater, had 10 athletes compete in the Minnesota Special Olymipcs Fall Games which were held at the Northwest Saddle Club in North Branch. 

The athletes chose to participate in Western Equitation, Western Working Trail, and Barrel Class events. 

The team came home with six gold medals, four silver medals, four bronze medals, five fifth-place ribbons, and four sixth-place ribbons. 

When the Trail Blazers aren't preparing for Special Olympics, they continue working on their horsemanship as an adapted equestrian team.  The Trail Blazers currently have openings for additional riders. 

Thanks to the Apple River Riders Drill Team, the Trail Blazers had eight athletes who competed in special classes on August 4th at the Open Pleasure and Fun Show in Glenwood City, Wisconsin.
