  • Equestrian competition at North Mesa Saturday

    The Los Alamos Pony Club and New Mexico Dressage Association will combine forces this weekend to offer a horse show at the Los Alamos Rodeo Grounds.

    The equestrian discipline known as dressage will be the focus of the competition, with both adult and junior competitors performing prescribed movements in a specific pattern, not unlike figure skating. Dressage is one of the equestrian sports included in international Olympic competition, likely to be seen in footage from the 2012 Summer Olympics in London this year.

    For the local adults, however, this will be a practice event, called a “schooling show,” and it serves to prepare them for higher-level shows throughout the state later in the season.
