Co-Captain/Treasurer: Teddy Holman
Teddy is our senior rider at age 64, but she has found during her drill experience she still has lots to learn. Her younger counterparts are so fantastically patient and encouraging to her, she is brought "up to date" regularly. Teddy rode as a girl and then took up riding again after meeting her husband, Berkeley, who purchased Maggie for her: A dream come true.
Drill is a dream come true, with Tina Donald leading us and all of us caring for and supporting one another. There's nothing like it!
Teddy rides Jessie's All Dun (Maggie) a bay AQHA mare her husband Berkley purchased for her. In Teddy’s own words: "Maggie is a senior rider's dream horse, at 14.2 or whatever. She is really easy to mount and dismount from".
Teddy enjoys the support of her husband Berkley
