The Clarkston Junior Equestrian Team includes Sashabaw Middle School seventh graders London Davis and Lucy Vassallo with head coach Abigail Davis and assistant coach Mandy Mollette.
“The team did wonderful,” said Abigail. “Both girls competed in classes they have never competed in before and they even placed first in some of those classes. It was a fun new experience for us all and can’t wait for what the future years bring for them.”
