It was a marathon of a horse show day for us, as we departed HVS at 5:30 a.m. and didn't return home till nearly 9 p.m. But what fun we had! Special congrats to Lauren and James who were Reserve Champion Foxcub Field Hunters in their first time showing. All HVS students returned home with ribbons and had a great day showing in two rings and the outside course. Lauren and Lexi won third place in the 2' pairs and nailed their last jump! Maria and Ziggy did a great job in the Beginner Hunter Division...Zig's first time out showing over jumps bigger than cross rails. Billy and Calvin had a blast showing Calvin in the Junior Field Hunter Division on the outside course. He was most proud of the third place ribbon they won in a class of 14 horses. Not bad for his first time showing on the outside course! Gary Knoll was on hand to take photographs. To view his pictures of our group, click here. You may order pics directly from Gary's website. Our horse and rider combos included: Allie & Sky, Anna & Dotz, Billy & Calvin, Eric & Easy, Jen & BooBoo, Jerre & Scooter, Jesse & Dex, Lauren & James, Lexi & Nosey, Maria & Ziggy, and Valerie & Sully (who had a blast in the Master's Class). Thanks to everyone, riders, grooms, parents, for making this day such fun. And special thanks to Nichole for being our braider and Ziggy schooler!
Thank you to our photographers for all the great pictures: Kelly, Pete, Jess, Jen and Nichole.
