What a weekend at the PSJ Cupid Classic A show! A weekend truly worthy of 'tears'. Thursday Firecracker was Champion Best Young Pony. Then on Friday Ceci and Rollingwood's Sticky Situation had a clean sweep of the 11 & under equitation - winning all 3 and Champion. Then Erica and Beaverwood's Robyn, as well as Angela and Rollingwood's Unequaled (Linny) both won a schooling pony o/f and were 2nd in the other, neither did the flat and so they tied for Champion! On Saturday Claudia made a clean sweep of the Short Stirrup Eq. on Linny. Sunday was a continuation of the same... Ceci started the day by winning the USEF pony medal with a near perfect trip and qualified for Pony Finals. Gabi was reserve champion on Comic Gold in Pre-Childrens, Ceci and Blue Jay were reserve champion in the childrens ponies, Claudia was champion in the short stirrup hunters on Linny, who was champion with Angela in the regular larges and qualified for Pony Finals, Robyn and Erica were reserve champion in the regular larges. Ceci, Angela and Erica topped out the Washington Pony Medal (1st, 2nd, 3rd respectively). Thanks and Congratulations Everyone!!!

~BYE-BYE MONKEY~ Challenger's Rock-n-Roan (AKA Monkey) was the first pony born at Challenger farms and because of that, the first to ever be on our home page. He gets that spot now because he will have a new home. The best thing is - we know it is THE RIGHT HOME. He turned 2 years old June 10th, and he will be loved by a 2 year old girl for years. His face and his temperment are unequalled by any pony I have had. We will all miss him! Special thanks to Whitney Carmouche (who has also purchased our Rosmel's High Roller) for the short and long talks every day since we met, as I know now that I will hear about my Monkey for as long as she has him.
