Courtney is an equestrian who has been riding for four years. You have to have a genuine interest and dedication to the animal Horse showing is one of its re- wards, however, because you get to meet different people from different places, stated Courtney. Courtney has been riding Lionel Train, her favorite horse, for three years of the last four years. During her first year of showing, she won Short Stir- rup Champion. After two years of strenuous showing, she qualified for the American Horse Show Association Pony Finals, a prestigious reward, The Pony Finals were held in Atlanta, Georgia at Hunt Hill Farm. She placed a high fifth Courtney Kneece stops for a moment before she gets ready to saddle up for the Homecoming Parade on October 15. out of fifty ponies. At the South Carolina Hunter Jumper Asso- ciation, Lionel was the Large Pony Champion and the Grand Pony Champion. The hours of grooming and practice required for the many shows Courtney completes in are well worth the effort because as Courtney states, Horse showing is so much fun because it is such a challenge for me as a rider. Many students may remem- ber having seen Courtney ride out on the football field during half-time at the Homecoming game. Because of her electrify- ing entrance, chills ran up and down the spines of Thorough- bred fans. Riding the school mascot out at halftime was a thrilling moment because the fans went wild! explains Courtney. Freshmenf 105
