Bellhaus riders had a great short week at ledges fitting nicely inbetween weeks of severe weather and crazy hot temperatures!
- Claire and Lopez De Montana continued to work on their summer goal of consistency in the 1.20s
- Clara and Defying Gravity had a fabulous week with their smoothest rounds yet in the .95 children’s jumpers including a win!
- Amanda and Trevor put together smooth 1.30 trips working on improving jump off lines and turns
- Max showed Katie’s horse Bonitha in the 2’6 for her Hunter debut. Excited to see Katie back in the Hunter and eq rings this summer!

Back home for a few weeks then returning to Lamplight in July!

Bonitha made her hunter ring debut at 20 years old last week at Ledges! Bo had a long and very successful jumper career and now is moving into her next stage of life with owner Katie Nichols Spitzer. Excited to see them in the Hunter and eq rings this summer!

Congratulations to Junior rider Clara and Gaia on a great start to their show week at Ledges! They were clear yesterday earning 2nd place and clear again today to win the .95 child jumpers! We’re incredibly proud of all the hard work they’ve put in these last couple months and have more than earned these awesome rounds and results.
