⭐️Another JM Graduate update!⭐️
“Hi Mallory!
I wanted to give you a little update on Chunk Norris and I! We started to dip our toes into Eventing back in 2024 when we discovered Chunk’s love for jumping. After a few very successful schooling events, we started training with four star event rider Chloe Smyth and the exceptional dressage trainer Donna Weinberg. Under their guidance we made our recognized event debut and have had an amazing show season at the Starter level.
Some of our accomplishments for the 2025 season include:
- Winning 2 events
- Being a member of the Reserve Champion Adult Rider Team at the USEA (United States Eventing Association) American Eventing Championships
- Reserve Senior Starter Rider Champion at Galway Downs Eventing Championships
- 3rd on the Adult Amateur Rider Starter USEA National Leaderboard
- 4th on the Adult Rider Starter USEA National Leaderboard
- 10th on the Starter Horse USEA National Leaderboard
- 8th on the USEA Pony of the Year National Leaderboard
- Champion Area VI (CA, HI) Adult Amateur Starter Rider
- Reserve Champion Area VI Adult Starter Rider
- Reserve Champion Area VI Starter Horse
So far in the 2026 show season we have had an additional win at the Starter level, had a successful move up to the Beginner Novice level and dabbled in dressage a bit, winning all four of our classes at Training Level at our first recognized Dressage show.
Chunk has proved to be a little superstar who tackles everything we ask him to do with ease and confidence. He has a reputation for being a little professional and is often looked to when another horse on the team needs a confident buddy to es**rt them around a busy show ground or packed warm up arena. Chunk has continued to build quite the fan club and has admirers every where we go. And with good reason for he really has proved that he is a spotty unicorn worth his weight in gold.
When he’s not strutting his stuff in the show arena, he spends his time at home going on trail rides with friends, giving pony rides, doing the occasional fox hunt and mostly just being my best friend. I couldn’t ask for a better partner to have and truly treasure him. Thank you for finding such an amazing pony!”
