Spring is here and the snowbirds who were able to escape this past winter are back home! Everyone was busy this past Florida season and they have some wonderful competition results to show for a lot of hard work and training!
🌴Under winter trainer Susanne Hamiltion, Friendship re-entered the FEI world with Susanne on board for several PSG tests. Lovingly owned by Abby White, Freddie and Susanne had four rides down centerline together with scores ranging from 61.176% to 66.618%! It was a wonderful and successful start to the season for Freddie! In March Abby took over the ride on Freddie and received her qualifying scores at third level, receiving a 64.5%, 66.375%, 66.25% and 60.25%. The duo topped off the season with one 4-3 test and earned a 62.361%. Well done to everyone involved with getting Freddie back into the show area; it was a blast to see him shine in the Florida sun this winter!
☀️Karen Wilson and Idola B dipped their feet in the show arena at White Fences at the end of the season and continued their FEI journey. The pair rode two PSG tests earning themselves a 63.382% and 61.618%. Both days Karen and Idola won the class and took home the blue. Congratulations to starting the 2026 season off well!
💫Vickie Kahn-Sinclair and De La Vie Bang stepped up a level, making a splash in the third level ring at Global and earning themselves some great scores! The pair started the season in February at 3-1 and had two scores of 69.865% and 73.514%. After that they moved along to 3-3 and earned three scores of 69.25%, 69.5%, 70.75%! Out of all 5 tests, they took home 4 1st place finishes which is pretty darn impressive! Congratulations to everyone on such wonderful accomplishments and a very bright start to the 2026 season!
