Touching Story-The NBC Today Show segment featuring Elizabeth Walters' recovery to ride in the Middle TN Horse Trials scheduled for Monday, Nov 23.  A film crew from the NBC News Today Show was at the MTHT in Nashville mid October. They came to profile a Pony Club member, Elizabeth Walters (Peytona PC) who is currently in remission from cancer. Attending the MTHT was one of her goals that she used to stay focused throughout 10 months of treatment at St. Jude's hospital. Elizabeth finished the horse trials in 5th place for the Junior Training Rider division. (3 of the 12 riders in her division did not finish the cross country). Her cross country was clean, she just had some time penalties. In stadium, she just knocked one rail. After the stadium round, her mother made a presentation to the coach who took care of her horse for the year of recovery and to thank all the Pony Club members nationwide that came to their aid. Check out MTPC's new web site design at:  www.mtn-ponyclub.org for a listing of current events.
