Washington International Horse Show

THAT’S A WRAP
On October 29, the Washington Life sponsored Washington International Horse Show (WHIS) wrapped up with a “Red, White and Blue” casual hoedown hosted by WIHS President Sheila Johnson. in the lofty upper tiers of the MCI Center. Johnson has developed quite a fondness for the equestrian arts and owns two horse farms, one in The Plains, Va. and the other in Wellington, Va. Guests enjoyed a live country music band, dined on roast beef and cowboy potatoes and watched Sheila’s daughter, Paige Johnson, and others competed for the President’s Cup, the show’s biggest prize. Paige, who was apparently inspired to start riding after she watched “My Little Pony” when she was seven has become a top equestrian.

WORLD CLASS RIDERS
Olympian Laura Kraut enjoyed the festivities before competing herself. Also in attendance were Georgiana Bloomberg, daughter of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who finished her events earlier in the week, and WIHS Executive Director Susie Webb.
