KEC Jaliska and Zoe Crawford strike a handsome pose at the 2011 Vermont Summer Festival
This is my horse KEC Jaliska. Isn’t she beautiful? That is her competing at the 2011 Vermont Summer Festival. She was the One Meter Circuit Grand Champion for the entire six week series. The rider, however, is not me.
My plan is for it to be me, one day.
