Last weekend, Frying Pan Equestrian hosted Working Equitation East for action-packed show!

Working Equitation stems from Southern Europe and blends classical horsemanship with the practicality of ranch and field work. Ease of Handling and Speed Trials had obstacles that challenged horses and riders and wowed our crowd, while the Dressage Trial showcased horse and rider partnerships.
