Fleur finally convinced us in the third block to do a relay race at the end of the demo. Three Connemaras versus three Irish Draught/Sport Horses, doing a line of jumps with a baton and passing it to the next. This turned out to be a huge crowd pleaser and exciting part of the demo. The ponies and horses were neck in neck! But, my favorite moment came when our farthest traveling volunteer, Wouter van Voorthuysen from Holland, grabbed the microphone and told the crowd, “I am Wouter. I am from Holland. We cannot lose! Go horses!”
