Groom Elite Founder to attempt feat no female equestrian has accomplished

No stranger to doing something no one before her had ever done, Susan O'Hara-Bates, founder, past board president and currently The Groom Elite Program’s Secretary-Treasurer will attempt something no other woman has completed in its entirety when she sets out on May 1 to ride the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada.  The trek starts near Lake Moreno in California the first of May and ends 5.5 months later 30 miles past Hart’s Pass, Washington, some 6800 feet above sea level.
