Program Notes:
The Adventures of Riley the Colt was inspired by the mascot of Senator Riley Middle School. The students of Senator Riley requested a piece that told a story. That story presented in this piece is a duel, between our hero Riley the Colt, and Sinister Simon, the venomous Prairie Rattlesnake.
