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!
Mane Top Goes to Sweet Briar College for Glenmore Hunt Show!
09.29.09Mane Top has been one busy barn lately with a horse show almost every weekend and a full lesson schedule during the week. This past Sundaywe were at Sweet Briar College for the Glenmore Hunt Pony Club Horse Show where we had a very successful day.
We brought a trailer load of ponies and started the day off with Reilly and Remy competing in the Beginner Equitation division where she WON her first walk/trot class! Tina rode Charlotte in the Hopeful Hunters and had many BIG improvements jumping around. We hope to sell that fancy pony for Ms. Lauren Lenfest in the near future but will hate to see her sweet face go! Grace and Slippers looked beautiful as always in the Intermediate Hunters where she was second and third over fences! Mackenzie and Remy had the most FABULOUS hunter course A in the small pony hunters and got a second in course B in a very competitive class. Megan and Hershey (together as a new pair to watch out for) ended up WINNING the SWVHJA Pony Medal! And with a change of heart, Megan Trum let her sister Tina show her fabulous pony, Connor, in the Large Pony Hunters and had some very impressive catch rides! Great job to all and we look forward to our next show, House Mountain, at the Virginia Horse Center on October 10th and 11th.
Also coming up is our series ending Fun Show on October 17th where we will be giving out high point awards and announcing the big news for our Winter Show Series where we will be offering CASH prizes and great door prizes with the support of sponsors from the area and some high class judges as well!
