Steeplechasing is described by some as
an ‘extreme sport,’ combining outdoors
action, horse sweat, leather and speed with emotional highs and lows unknown to any other avocation. The women depicted on these pages are visible proof of equality on the racecourse. Shown are winning owners, trainers, riders, organizers and more: they add a soft side to this Virginia game. Don’t be fooled — most of these ladies can ride like the wind. Never underestimate their love of horses and sport.
