April Fun Festival Horse Show- SUCCESS!
04.06.10Mane Top Stables held their last show of their Winter Fun Festival Series sponsored by The Animal Hospital of Lynchburg, this past Saturday, April 3rd. With all the snow the winter festival became a Winter/Spring Festival but even so the weather was perfect!
We had multiple trailers parked out in the field, our judge, Alisa Berry, under her scary blue tent, sat on top of the hill overlooking our awesome courses, thanks Kristen! All of Mane Top’s horses and ponies were perfectly behaved and the show ran as smoothly as possible. We had entries in almost every class/division, the food was awesome, thanks Lambert’s, and thanks to Yvonne McMahon we had milkshakes as a special treat!
We had pony rides, hay rides, a raffle of various items thanks to Harris Tire, Accutemp, The Animal Hospital of Lynchburg, and Y-Nots by Linda Melton, and we can’t forget our fabulous EASTER EGG HUNT! Kristen’s Aunt, Uncle, and cousins were in town to visit their mare, Laura, who is in foal with Mane Top’s baby by Paparazzo, due in July :) Thanks to them, all of the 400 eggs we stuffed with CANDY and MONEY were hidden all around the farm.
The hunt was a successs with big kids and little kids searching around the farm, everyone had a blast. What a success! Thanks to all who supported Mane Top’s Fun Festival!
We hope those of you who trailered in will join us for our future shows!
WE WILL POST OUR NEXT SHOW DATES ON OUR CALENDAR SOON
Randolph College Horse Show Results!
03.22.10This Saturday at Randolph College Mane Top had a blast. We only took Maggie Kelleher and her horse Three Socks and Jenny Melton’s horse Bon Jovi. Beverly Russle met us there with her horse Better Than Red who we’ve been working with for the past few months.
Codi showed Bon Jovi (JJ) and Better Than Red (Beryl) in the Green Hunter’s. JJ ended up 2nd and 5th in the over fences and Beryl was 4th and 6th over the jumps and 5thin the flat. They both are well on their way to being the champions that they are!
Megan McMahon picked up a sweet catch ride on Beryl for the Equitation on the Flat (14 and under) and Special Children’s Hunter’s. She did a FABULOUS job on a horse she had never ridden and had some impressive riding moments. We look forward to Megan having more opportunities to ride and show Beryl.
Maggie Kelleher had a wonderful day on her horse Sox. She was 2nd in the Equitation on the Flat (15-17) and was WON her first over fences class in the Children’s Hunter’s!!! She was 6thin the second jumping class and 4th in the flat.
Overall we enjoyed our horse show an all ran smoothly. Now on to the next! Mane Top will be covering BOTH Sweet Briar College Horse Show AND BridgewaterCollege Horse Show this weekend, 3/27 and 3/28. Look for us there and be sure to say hello!
Thanks to all the parents for their support and contributions at the show!
Wedding and more!
08.19.09WOW! Kristen and I have been so busy these past few weeks after the wedding. Let me catch everyone up…
The wedding was AMAZING. It was a beautiful outside evening wedding at Spring Grove Farm in Appomattox, VA. The photographer was our good friend Sean Wells. He captured the events of the day and evening and onto the next day in a non-traditional “Trash your dress” session. Check out his website: http://seanwellsphotography.wordpress.com/. Here is a few just to get you interested…
As the weekend grew near we decided to go to the Lexington National Horse Show at the VA Horse Center to show Ruby, Rosie, and Roxy. Some how we were able to get ready in time and made it to show in the pony broodmare, pony foal, and pony yearling classes with our 3 fabulous ponies! It was our first time but everyone was so well behaved and Roxy got a lot of really great compliments, even from the judge himself. We learned a lot and saw some BEAUTIFUL young horses.
Intermediate Camp was a success and everyone rode so well! Moving on to our last camp of the summer… Beginner camp!
MORE UPDATES SOON!
