Congratulations to the Omro School's Equestrian Team. The team competed this past weekend in district competition earning Reserve Champion status. This qualifies the team to move on to the Wisconsin School's Equestrian State Championships to be held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison at the end of October. A special shout out to the parents and families of the team whose success would not be possible without the countless hours dedicated to their children. This season's riders are Holly, Josslyn, Makenzie, Lilly and Katelyn. Barn helpers are Damion and Bobby.
