While not everyone was showing this week, Lily Hatch brought her new baby, Hooligun, to get some schooling in, and it was a great week for the pair as they continue building their partnership.
A huge thank you also goes out to the incredible support crew that keeps Team Sugarland running:
🥤 Marissa Schechla kept everyone fueled with dirty sodas and getting us on the board in the ranch riding ring.
💨 Larry Dale faithfully kept the swamp coolers running at the barn, which both the horses and riders appreciated more than he probably knows.
⏰ Ripper Hatch—even though Lily wasn't showing—you still manage to keep track of ride times. Your organizational skills and point counting remain undefeated!
It truly takes a village. Whether you were showing, cheering, cooling the barn every single person played a part in making this an unforgettable week. We couldn't do it without such an amazing support system, and we appreciate each and every one of you.
A special thank you to Shady Schneider and Gold N Grand All Breed Open Horse Show for putting on another outstanding event. Your hard work behind the scenes created a fun, well-run show that everyone genuinely enjoyed. We appreciate everything that goes into making an event like this happen and are already looking forward to the next one!
Congratulations again to our Silver Hills Team!!!
