A new Ms. Stickability is in town this week at #AEC2024, and that’s one Allison Springer (who’s also a World Equestrian Brands ambassador), who not only rode with a broken pinky finger this week but also demonstrated just how much positional strength and the right equipment can help you out when things don’t go to plan on cross country. Check out that lower leg!
By the way, the photo above was taken by Atalya Boytner, who’s shooting as a part of Erin Gilmore’s team at AEC this week. Erin Gilmore will have your division photos ready as each division finishes, so you don’t have to wait for your beautiful photos like this one! You can see options for photos at AEC here.
