Pasquale Lopetrone

The Show, promoted from the Province on my proposal, was treated from Pasquale Lopetrone (Right). It wanted to remember the most important figures of the Calabrian monachesimo: Gioacchino from Flower, San Francesco from Paola, San Nile, San Daniele, Beato Angelo d'Acri, Sant'Umile. The Show went through the most important town of our province and collected a considerable success.

Western Pleasure

Delta has a mind of her own, so it’s important to work her. We work on western pleasure the most. Trail class and Horsemanship is also important. Delta’s mane was done so she’d look pretty.
