Tahquitz had a very successful week of desert holiday! 🎄🎄🎄 Abby and Picturesque Best Dressed were reserve champion in the children’s pony hunter larges and won the classic! Alyssea and Tristan were Reserve Champions in their division and took home a 5th in their Hunter Derby! We also welcomed our sister barn from Colorado, Strang Ranch. Mia and D’Lascivo stepped into the show ring for the first time with great rounds and lots of learning! Caryn and Lucky Boy had fun in the jumpers with top ribbons their first time in the desert! They also stepped up to do a .85 Classic! Annabelle and Good and Plenty enjoyed their first week of showing in the desert with a ribbon in their Hunter Derby! Lily competed with her relatively new partner Chimansky 3 and came home with a win in Children’s Hunter Under Saddle and several other ribbons. Bring on week 2! 🎄🎄🎄
