The Lexington Spring Open, held in Northern Virginia, runs through the end of February for several days. Junior Skylar Fulcher competed in the Children’s Hunter and Children’s Medal classes, jumping at three feet on her six-year-old mare, Lina.

Skylar, a dedicated equestrian, began the sport 11 years ago. She currently boards and rides her mare, Lina, at Princess Anne Farms. 

“Hard work six days a week and determination is how I got here,” said Skylar.
