Congratulations to Maggie McLaughlin for completing her The Dressage Foundation Century Club Ride aboard Hannah! The Century Club recognizes dressage riders and horses whose combined ages total 100 years or more.
Maggie (77) purchased Hannah (24) as a weanling and owned her for nearly 16 years before selling the Fjord mare to her friend, Mary Cuevas. Mary not only loaned Hannah to Maggie for her Century Club Ride but also choreographed Maggie’s First Level Musical Freestyle.
Maggie and Hannah were scheduled to complete their Century Club ride a the Central Oregon Chapter of Oregon Dressage Society Swing Into Spring League Show this weekend. When confirmed cases of EHV-1 in Central Oregon postponed the show, Central Oregon’s dressage community rallied to help make Maggie’s ride happen here at Alliance Equestrian Center. Thank you to Barbara Doherty for stepping in to judge, Laura Swenson for scribing, and Jessie Janego Higgins for presenting the award!
