Silver Slippers and Burke Kelleher showed in they Local Large Pony Hunter division getting some great ribbons against good competition. She was 2nd and 3rd over fences and 3rd on the flat. Burke WON the SWVHJA Pony Medal! Mane Top riders taking the first and second place in the medal classes is so exciting!

Then we moved on to the jumper ring with Amy Amerell’s horse, My Girl Lass, with Jordan Josefczyk up for the ride. They were AWESOME! Lass can really jump! This was her first time showing at the 3ft. She did the Low Jumpers and the High Training Level Jumpers. She WON 3 blues! Very exciting.

Mackenzie and Remy showed again at the end of the week in their first rated division as a team! Kenzie won 3rd place in her second over fences course and 3rd on the flat. Way to go!

It was a long week but all of Mane Top’s students rode extremely well and we are proud of  each of you. Lets do it again at House Mountain this week!

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!
