During the Summer and Fall of 2007, the STPA held a Saddle Series and under the tutelage of Jim Howell seven riders from Hickman Ranch participated. The first two events fell to the rainy weather we are so use to here in Southeastern Texas with the remaining 5 events stretching from August till the last event November 17th. It was an exciting series with all the girls showing remarkable improvements in their skill through faster and cleaner runs. The competition was fierce and first place wasn't decided till the very last run. When the dust had settled, Kyle Robinson finished in second place, Michelle Goss took fourth, Kate Meyer was 5th and Sara Hunter secured 6th place. Lynn Robinson and Emily Opperman, while not finishing in the money as they say, did show
great improvement and what is most important, had fun. In the younger age group Abby Cousins participated in her first show ever and was by far the best color coordinated one at the show. Pictured at right Kate Meyer, Kyle Robinson, Olivia Robinson, Melissa Warwick, Sara Hunter and Michelle Goss. Congratulations to all.
