BRITTANY HAS BEEN RIDING WITH BUCKINGHAM EQUESTRIAN CENTER FOR FIVE YEARS NOW. SHE STARTED SHOWING WHEN SHE WAS A TINY TOT. SHE IS AN AMAZING EQUESTRIAN WITH A TON OF TALENT. LOOKS LIKE BRITTANY IS FOLLOWING IN REBA'S FOOTSTEPS TO THE TOP.
REBA LAYMAN WAS CHAMPION OF THE VHSA ASSOCIATE PROGRAM SHORT STIRRUP DIVISION IN 2008. REBA HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH BOTH A GREEN HORSE AND A MADE HUNTER. SHE SHOWED HER GREEN HUNTER TO TWO NINTH PLACES AT THE CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW. THE SHOW WAS REBA'S FIRST TIME COMPETING AGAINST TOP PROFESSIONALS.
REBA STARTED RIDING AT BUCKINGHAM EQUESTRIAN CENTER AROUND FIVE YEARS AGO, ALSO. SHE HAS SHOWN AMAZING TALENT AND HAS THE "RIGHT STUFF" TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL SOMEDAY. REBA IS ALWAYS DRIVEN TO DO HER BEST. SHE TRIES VERY HARD. MARY SVALSTEDT SAYS, SHE NEVER HAS TO BE HARD ON REBA, SHE IS HARD ENOUGH ON HERSELF. SHE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THIS HER LIVELYHOOD SOMEDAY. SHE GIVES PROFESSIONALS A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY IN THE SHOW RING ALREADY. SHE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO TAKE THE BLUE AWAY FROM THEM.
