-
Train with top professionals in the industry.

Sponsored by Mountain King Ranch
THE MKR (Mountain King Ranch) equitation grant was generously started by Colorado native rider, Dominic Gibbs and his family. They wanted to provide the opportunity of experiencing the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) in Wellington FL while training with Stacia Madden of Beacon Hill Show Stables to another Colorado rider. MKR feels that equitation is no longer an age-limited competition; with the rise of amateur equitation finals and numerous medals, MKR wanted to help promote the foundation of our sport to their home community, Colorado.
