Ponies of the Track - Cisco: Amanda Ropar's Pride and Joy
"For nearly ten years, Amanda Ropar has ponied racehorses. Since the age of fourteen, Ropar has traveled to various tracks all over California, as well as tracks in states such as Arizona, Idaho, Iowa, and Oregon. She has been aboard an abundance of horses in her lifetime, but in 2008, Ropar encountered the horse of her dreams.
