- Presentation Ainsley ‘Dolly’ Lehne Presentation: Dolly is in Grade 10 and has been participating in riding since she was 4. She hopes to instruct. She is the youth rep for the North Region of the Canadian Pony Association. She is going to France and taking training close to Paris France. She will get to wear the Canadian Flag during her showings. The Show in July will be from the 8th to the 16th. She is hoping for any type of sponsorship to support her training. She is teaming up with local businesses as a youth influencer in order to help fund her trip. The training in Europe will be done on horses supplied by the school. She will be one of 14 people going and the only Canadian involved.
