ACTHA Monthly | December 2014 | 28
Dolly and Heart have just reached their Gold Medal status and are eyeing the Platinum Medal next. We, and the Rocky Mountain Horse Association are proud to have them as part of the sport!
ACTHA rides help prepare Dolly and Heart for a successful show career, keeping them both fresh and excited to take on the next challenge. Dolly and Heart are the 2014 Illinois State Open Division Champions.
About an hour southwest of Chicago, IL there’s a small (really small) village of Mikooka, IL. But there’s big things going on there; Dolly Pierson and VBF’s Heart in Motion, aka “Heart.” Dolly and Heart are a shining example of how Rocky Mountain Horses excel in a variety of activities. Dolly purchased Heart from Van Bert Farms in 2007, hit the trail in 2011 and hasn’t looked back. Taking a blue ribbon in their first weekend ACTHA event, it’s been a wonderful ride for them both.
