Rain the night before had made the ground muddy, but University of Dela ware sophomore Kim Cian and her horse, Fabian, were perform ing their dressage movements without a hitch. If they scored well in this, the last of four qualifying shows, Cian was sure they’d make the regional team slated to compete in the North American Young Riders’ National Championship in August “We’ve got this nailed,” Cian thought to herself.
