“I wish they made short track speed skating helmets that comfortable!”

On April 18, 2010, the Midwest HorseFair®, one of the nation's top horse expos, hosted ARIAT Jumping with the Stars!, a special event pairing Wisconsin hunter/jumper trainers with local celebrities. To prepare, the celebrities took riding lessons for three months, learning how to walk, trot, canter and jump a course of fences. At the event, held in Madison, Wisconsin, a record crowd turned out to cheer on their favorite celebrities, who were wearing brand new Reliance helmets donated by Troxel.
The event benefits American Family Children's Hospital, a comprehensive pediatric medical and surgical center featuring nationally recognized pediatric specialists in fields from cardiology to cancer. This is the second consecutive year Troxel has participated as a sponsor.
With three "perfect 10s" from the judges, news anchor Leigh Mills (paired with trainer Stephanie Veloff-Histed) was crowned this year's winner. Read the ARIAT Jumping with the Stars! blog to see more photos, stories and video of all the action.
