We have had two amazing show weekends back to back.
Swan Lake Local last weekend was a long very amazing day. We had several fist pairs (horse & rider) at the show and several moving up or trying new things. So proud of each of the riders for giving it their all and sticking it out for a long day.
Hannah & Glen Ardan taking home 1st in a huge o/f hunter class and taking home several other ribbons. They had beautiful rounds.
Brooklynn & Landon had beautiful rounds in the hunters.
Arabella & Linked In had amazing clean rounds in the jumpers at .70 & .80’s
Morgan & Only Certain Details had a little bit of a tough day, but they killed it in their last round of the .80’s. She never gave up.
Kaya & Serene Northern Shoshoni had some tough rounds, Shoshoni reminding Kaya she can be a stubborn pony. Kaya came back at the end of the day and showed Shoshoni who was boss, ending on a great round
Vivienne & Pippin were rockstars hanging on ALL day to ride in the 2’ Equitation division putting in some amazing rounds and proving they are very much ready to rock this division this season. This pair has come so far recently and I can’t wait to watch them blossom this season (Upperville debut this year)
Paige & Straight & Narrow had their first show where they cantered and they did it amazingly. She got some amazing ribbons and learned so much. So excited to watch these two (Upperville debut this year)
Haley rode Cooley Limited Edition in their first 1.05 rounds, continuing to be super competitive and showing they are ready to move up to the Jr 1.10
Annika & Sparo had stellar rounds in the .80 & .90. Their hard work is paying off and Sparo is jumping better than ever.
We then attended The B.E.S.T show at the Prince George Equestrian Center. We were very thrilled with how well this show was ran, the classes offered and the facility was super.
Athea rode Glenridge Theodore in his first ever show and her first ever show (outside IEA) and did absolutely amazing. Glen just turned 4, so we have been taking it slow with him, but Athea has been an amazing pilot for him in his training and it showed this weekend just how amazing she’s been doing.
Athea & Straight & Narrow did the Short Stirrup and had amazing rounds. Athea’s first show again and she made it look like she’s been doing the short stirrup classes for years. They had amazing rounds!!
Logan & Polly T stepped into the hunter and jumper ring. Logan has done all of Polly’s training and is doing an amazing job. As much as Logan doesn’t enjoy Hunters, they looked amazing out there. Polly is only 4 and took everything in stride. Took home a ribbon in a huge class.
They then went to jump in the .60’s and put stellar rounds in. Polly doesn’t enjoy going anywhere fast, but they have worked hard and it showed.
Reagan & Nutella T did their first show together in the .60’s. Nutella just came from her breeder in Florida about a month ago, and Reagan has been doing an amazing job with bringing her along. They are going to make an awesome duo in the jumper world.
Brooklynn & Landon stepped back into jumper world. They had an amazing round in the .75, just a wrong turn but found their way finished strong. Landon was definitely keeping Brooklynn on her toes and even giving her huge jumps, but she stuck with him and continued to prove how far she’s come in her riding.
Kaya & Merry Legs Lady Ophelia had two absolutely stunning rounds bringing home Champion in the .75. Only Kaya’s third time ever riding her and their first show. It was amazing to watch Kaya out there have fun and have a mare that loved the jumpers as much as Kaya does.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there, SARC moms and the rest. You all are the real MVP’s of the world. 💐❤️
Now to get some rest before another show weekend next weekend back at Swan Lake and then to Welcome Baby Eilidh to the world.
