Young Islander rides to victory

Madeline Bergman and her horse Vertigo finished a successful show jumping summer with a championship and Sunday Classic victory in the 3’6” division at the Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC, at the end of August. 

The pair started the season with two weeks in Calgary, Alberta, at the Spruce Meadows Show Park, and came home with first and second place plaques in classes with as many as 45 riders.

Bergman is a junior at Vashon High School.
