What a great learning and growing day today for all of our riders. We had new partnerships and teams and did amazing.
Anna-Catherine O'Brien and her new boy, Salty, did amazing. They won TIP halter and placed in every class they rode in. Even their first poster and trail class went amazing with a 2nd and 5th against adults too. Way to ride.

Brennan and Moses came to the show ready to compete! They looked so sharp. She won first in all her classes except one 2nd and were overall grand Champions for their division. Way to go girlie.

Sutton and Gt were back as good as ever. They swept the crossrail division and won overall champions. They also placed well in mini hunters and their flats. So proud of them.

Janie and Clifford had their first show together and placed really well with many seconds and a championship to boot. It was a long day to get him there and proud of her determination and patience with him.

Quinn and Moses also had a great day! They pinned in all classes. Had their first canter class and won 2nd in pattern and 5th in trail. So proud of her for cantering and her patterns.

Big thanks to the show staff for a great day and my bestie Samantha Gault for the great horse for anna cate.
