Congratulations Gabi and October Sky..."Dunkin, Dudley, Daisey"! What an awesome day to be able to say you were called back 6th out of 207 ponies in the USEF Medal Finals. You have made us so proud - moments like that make it all worth while. You two will be ones to beat in 2008. You are a great pair.
This year Dunkin has been champion at two A shows at Chagrin Valley, as well as Champion at the Cupid Classic A show in Aiken. He has also received high ribbons almost every weekend!
Shawn took Firecracker to Aiken in January (and thus far only show this year as we are not cold weather horse show people!) and he won his 2 year old class and was reserve champion best young pony. We have decided to let him stay home this year and ride him instead!
Gabi took out "Challenger's Dress Rehearsal" AKA Pop-tart to her first ever show under tack and she was GREAT!! She jumped around all the jumps without a blink, and was 2nd o/f in the pre-green ponies as well as 2nd o/f in the childrens ponies.
Thanks to Angela and Claudia Pollex for joining us for the first and third week of the Aiken Spring Classic. Both their ponies (Knock My Soxs Off pictured at left and Cherrybrook News Flash) received good ribbons in the short stirrup. Both girls also rode October Sky (pictured below) the last day of the Finale weekend with ribbons in every class.
Caroline Tucker also joined us with October Sky for her first time showing him, and was 5th out of a huge class in the Childrens Ponies. What a great first show. Thanks Gabi for sharing your pony and letting him be a GREAT teacher!
