For few individuals could fit the definition of having so many multiple talents, such a broad base of knowledge, and be possessed of so many diverse interests and hobbies as Miriam Trelstad. ' y "I still have my social life, it's just that so much of it is tied up with the people I meet in athletics, at school, and around horses," she adds. "I really don't feel slighted in that area at all." Almost all of us have felt the romantic lure of horses, but Miriam became one of the few to follow it, aided by her parents, Jerome and Mavis Trelstad, who agreed to purchase her first horse five years ago and a family friend. Bill Hall, who allowed her to stable it at his home. Miriam, a 17 year old senior at Brighton, has exhibited athletic prowess in nearly half a dozen sports, her high honor scholarship reflects her desire for knowledge, and her major hobby, by way of contrast, is that of an equestrian. That horse, a gilding Anglo-Ara- b named Brandy, now 14 years old, has carried Miriam to grand championships in Western Pleasure equitation, and riding, bare-bac- k in work her halter age group, along with a reserve championship in Western Riding. She also has a state title as part of a ten rider team at a show in Nephi in 1977, the same year she was the high point senior at the Salt Lake County Fair, and won two She started out from scratch nearly five years ago, having almost no knowledge about the showing of horses. But, today she competes in almost every field of equestrian arts and wins, if a long list of trophies, ribbons, and awards are any indication. Two years ago she competed in as many as 20 to 25 m A' ribbons at the 1977-7- 8 state horse judging contest in Logan. "Winning in a horse show is like a double victory," comments Miriam, "because you just don't do it by yourself, the horse shares in the achievement, as well. They seem to enjoy winning as much as do "It's really important to pick a horse with a good temperament," people." Obviously, training one's self and a horse to that level of achievement requires a lot of time and effort, the same factors in evidence in her other athletic endeavors. The first three weeks, after obtaining Brandy, were spent in just simply walking the horse by herself.: Workouts number three a day. Today Brandy will respond to any number of voice commands, whether it be to walk, canter, trot, or run, be even responds appropriately to each particular type of riding equipment or training device used in a show. lattar Mrfc.

"In Gymkhana, you do things like tanegg races, musical tires, and "You have to remember that for centuries the only way horses could protect themselves was to run or kick," Miriam continued.

Down the road, Miriam looks at becoming an equine veterinarian, doing her graduate work at the University of Minnesota, the state she and her family moved from nine years ago. Understanding your mount is important not only for the rider's safety, but for the bone's as well. Miriam notes that by riding a lot a person can get a feeling for a horse and can even tell if it's hurting, especially in the legs.
