The youngest trainer in the program, LaShawnda drew the biggest horse in the group. "She's really had to overcome her fear," said program leader Sue Crane. "I realized I had to have more faith in myself," said LaShawnda. |

| Julia Robinson's Message: |
I spent the summer with four girls from Columbia's public housing as they tamed wild mustangs for a competition sponsored by the Mustang Heritage Foundation. From their first trip to Texas, through a rough summer of training and back to Fort Worth for the competition, it was quite a proverbial ride.
