💐🌟 WEEKEND RECAP 🌟💐
Wow… what a weekend! Despite what Mother Nature had planned for us 🌧️⛈️, our competitors battled the elements and represented our program with pride. We couldn't be more proud of the way everyone rode, competed, and conducted themselves all weekend long ❤️
This weekend we had three teams out representing us:
✨️ Our Trillium Team competing at WCP at the Slide Into Summer Trillium Show.
✨️️ Our Black Creek Rodeo Team competing at the Metcalfe Rode.
✨️Our Jackpot Team competing at Horse-A-Rama in Athens
🐴 TRILLIUM TEAM
🌸 Callie aboard Morton's Platinum Kat had an incredible weekend, earning Reserve Champion in the Modified Pony Division! Against a very competitive group, the pair brought home some fantastic ribbons, including a 6th in the Medal, a 3rd in the Stake Class, and a 3rd Under Saddle. We are so proud of how far this partnership has come and can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings! 🎀
🌟 Kylie and Sincerely Yours also had a fantastic weekend in a large Adult Amateur 2'6 Hunter division. They won their Stake Class and earned several other top ribbons, finishing only a few points shy of Reserve Champion. What an incredible showing from this pair! ❤️
🏅 Anna and Gina KG II continued their successful season, earning Reserve Champion in the 0.75m Jumpers. The pair claimed two class wins, taking home 1st place in both the Power and Speed and Speed classes. We're excited to continue watching this partnership grow and can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for them! 💙
⭐ Justine and Happy Hour put together some of their best rounds to date. We love seeing the progress and confidence these two have built together. Out of a very competitive division of approximately 30 riders, they achieved several personal bests, beautiful clean lead changes, and consistently found themselves near the top of the leaderboard in a large and competitive group. We are so proud of the growth this team continues to show 💙
💚 Unfortunately, we didn't get to see Evelyn and Paradigm K complete their division this weekend. After having a great warm-up, severe thunderstorms and lightning brought an early end to the day, forcing the cancellation of their division. We were certainly looking forward to seeing these two compete and can't wait for their next outing together
🤠 BLACK CREEK RODEO TEAM
After torrential rain turned the arena into one giant mud puddle 🌧️🤎, our rodeo crew still went out and gave it their all.
🐑 Little Gage kicked things off with his very first mutton busting ride and came away with a 2nd-place finish! We are so proud of him. Staying on that sheep took plenty of grit and determination, and he certainly gave everyone something to cheer about!
🔥 Gabriel returned aboard his new mount and, despite the slick conditions, came through with a successful catch. We are incredibly proud of him and all the hard work he's put into building confidence and developing this new partnership
👏 Keegan also had a strong run. Unfortunately, the muddy conditions made for some tough luck. His steer was delayed coming out of the chute, and when he finally got his hands on it, the slick conditions made it nearly impossible to hold on, with the steer unfortunately slipping right out of his hands. While the outcome wasn't what he had hoped for, we're incredibly proud of the effort, determination, and grit he showed
🏇 JACKPOT TEAM
We wrapped up the weekend on Sunday with Danielle and Jett competing at Horse-A-Rama in Athens
Competing at a new venue and against some of the biggest classes they've seen to date—with some classes reaching as many as 42 competitors—Danielle and Jett rose to the challenge. Despite less-than-ideal footing thanks to the rain, Danielle gave Jett the confidence he needed to go out and do his job
💙 The pair achieved some exciting personal bests, including a 1st place finish in the 2D Dash and a 4th place finish in the 2D Poles. We are so proud of this team and excited to watch them continue to progress
❤️ As always, none of this would be possible without our incredible village.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our riders and competitors, as well as those working tirelessly behind the scenes at home. From hauling, horse care, organizing, and cheering from the sidelines to lending a helping hand whenever needed, your support means the world to us
👏 A special thank you to our sponsors, supporters, farriers, equine bodyworkers, volunteers, and everyone who helps keep our horses, riders, and facility at their very best. From matching team gear to farm improvements, maintenance, and all the countless details in between, your contributions never go unnoticed
🏡 It truly takes a village, and we are fortunate enough to have the very best one.
Congratulations to all of our riders, horses, and families on another incredible weekend! We can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store. ❤️🐴🤠🏇✨
