Meet Ali Peterson

Local equestrian blogs about her experience in Traverse City’s big event, Horse Shows by the Bay.

Know your courbette from your capriole? Your rail from your spread fence? Thought not. That’s why we called in up-and-coming young equestrian Ali Peterson to help us all get more out of Horse Shows by the Bay at Flintfields Horse Park in Traverse City, July 8 through August 2. When she’s not competing herself (watch for Ali and her Arabian, Kassidy, in the hunter jump class), Ali will be blogging in our Community to give us an up-close and behind-the-scenes scoop on this equestrian festival that draws thousands of award-winning horses and riders to compete in show jumping, dressage, show hunter, equitation and polo.
