From the Woodward Academy:

JOHNS CREEK, GA – Woodward North second-grader Sasha Popham won first place in the United States Eventing Association (USEA) Pre-Amoeba Combined test held at South Willow Riding School in Johns Creek on October 23. The event included a dressage test, working with a horse on the flat, and a show jumping test, working with the horse in the jumping arena.

Each test is scored individually, with the lowest score winning. Sasha received the lowest dressage score and earned a score of zero in show jumping. Sasha has been horseback riding since the age of 3 and has been riding her horse, Rain, since that time.
