Horse-riding champ still dominates

By CASEY OLSON, The Mirror

Lauren Lang and her horse, Rum Brook Immortal Mystic, continued their dominance at the Grand National and World Championship Morgan Horse Show in Oklahoma City.

The Lakota Middle School eighth-grader and her 16-year-old horse walked away from the prestigious horse show in October with the 13-and-under Grand National Classic Pleasure Driving title, the 13-under Classic Pleasure Saddle World Championship and the 17-under Classic Pleasure Driving Junior Exhibitor World Championship. Lang also finished second in the Grand National Pleasure Saddle competition at the weeklong event.

Rum Brook Immortal Mystic has won 13 Grand National and World Championship titles during its career.

This was Lang’s third appearance at the Oklahoma City show and she has won a total of two World Championships, two Grand National and three Grand National Final titles.

Lang rides out of Fire Run Farm in Snohomish under the direction of Elra Tonkin, who just started training here last January after moving from South Africa.
