Amateur photographer and loyal EN reader Kasey Mueller was kind enough to send us a bunch of beautiful photos from show jumping in the CIC2* division at Richland Park. Thanks Kasey!
From Kasey:
What’s wrong with this picture? I looked around the busy warm up area for dressage at Richland, and I noticed that all the volunteers were wearing pearls. I asked myself, “Who would think to wear pearls with T-shirts and jeans?” Apparently, these ladies do! It is an annual tradition for all of the Richland Horse Trials’ dressage bit check volunteers and dressage stadium stewards to wear pearls. This large group of volunteers calls themselves “The Girls in Pearls.”
I wanted to get a picture of all of the classy, sassy and super fabulous volunteers, but they were so crazy busy that I could only corral three of them to represent the whole team. They looked rather elegant as they pleasantly marshaled everyone into the arenas, and the dressage rides were on time all day long. Maybe I will think of wearing pearls to the next horse trial … or maybe not. I don’t think that I could pull it off like the Richland Girls In Pearls.
