SUMMIT TWP — Horses and riders got put through their paces Saturday at the annual horse show at Elliott Acres Therapeutic Riding Center, 168 Headland Road.

Nineteen riders competed in three categories during the event which ran from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Because the riders had various physical, intellectual and emotional issues they were accompanied by volunteers who led the horse or were side walkers.
