Mane Top showed up at the VA Horse Center in Lexington, VA on Monday evening, June 28th to school with Jason Berry before the show began on Tuesday.

Tuesday morning MeredithNewman’’s horse, Family Guy (Buddy), showed in the 3ft Green Hunter’s with Codi. Buddy was great and won a 5th and a 4th over fences. Jason rode Mane Top’s Theodore in the Green’s and won a 4th over fences! Theo was the best he’s ever been so we were all thrilled with his performance. Jason also showed Soiree (Bernie) for Codi in the Green’s and the Low Hunters. She is getting better and better each show and ended up getting a 6th on the flat against some fancy horses. Bernie showed at 3ft for her first time in the Low’s and did great. We couldn’t be happier with the progression of our green horses. Thanks again to Jason for all the great advice and awesome rides.

Megan McMahon showed buddy in the Special Children’s with a rough start but she stepped up her game and ended up with a 4th over fences in the Open Hunter’s out of 20 horses! She went on to win a 2nd in the Jr. Eq on the flat, 14 and under, as well as a 4th in the RC Medal. Her medal trip was AWESOME and we couldn’t have been happier with Megan’s riding.

Megan also rode Miss Charlotte in the Medium Pony Hunter’s and did a GREAT job showing off this fancy pony. She was 4th and 5th over fences and 3rd on the flat. Charlotte is getting more and more competitive with every show.  Rick Krason rode their horse, Mega’s Black Gold, owned by Mountain View Equine Hospital, in the Pleasure Hunter’s. Rick and BG looked great in the show ring and are well on their way to kicking some major butt at the shows!

Mane Top also coached a good friend and past student of ours, Tina Trum, for Jason Berry, since he could not be at the show on Wednesday. Tina and her horse Lion Heart ended up 5th over fences in the Open Division out of a large group and was also 5th in the 15-17 Equitation on the Flat. Way to go Tina!

The show was fun and everyone rode so well. Congratulations to all who participated. We look forward to having another successful show at Randolph College on June. 10th.
