Culver Students Participate in Presidential Inauguration Parade

Cassie Kaplan ‘17 and Carly Chandler ‘17, Culver Military Academies seniors, had the honor of helping their school continue the tradition of riding in the Presidential Inaugural Parade. The Equestriennes and the Black Horse Troop practiced four days a week for several months, hoping to perform in person. However, they returned early from winter break in order to be filmed for the historical event. Culver Academies’ Black Horse Troop and Equestriennes know that the many hours they and the rest of the 71 riders practiced were worth it to see themselves on TV during the 59th Presidential Inauguration.
