✨ HAZEL & BENTLEY TAKE ON PONY FINALS! ✨

What a year it has been for these two. 💙🦄
This week, Hazel and Bentley stepped into the ring at USEF Pony Finals for the very first time, competing in the Small Regular Pony Hunter division against around 120 of the best small ponies and young riders from across the country.

And I couldn’t be more proud.

Pony Finals isn’t a horse show you simply decide to enter. You have to earn your way there. Riders spend the year traveling, showing and working toward qualifying, and just getting that invitation to Kentucky is an accomplishment all on its own.

Then you actually have to walk into that ring.

Hazel is only 10 years old. This was her first Pony Finals, on her own pony, competing on one of the biggest stages in our sport. She walked through that gate and DID IT. 💙

But what makes me the proudest is thinking about where Hazel and Bentley were just one year ago.

The growth in this kid over the last year has been incredible. The confidence, determination, harder courses, bigger shows, wins, tough days, lessons learned and countless hours in the saddle all led to this moment.

A year ago, Pony Finals felt like a dream.

This year, she qualified. She went. She competed. She finished.

And she did it alongside her best little pony. 🥹💙

There will always be another ribbon to chase and another goal to set, but some accomplishments are so much bigger than a placing.

Hazel, you belonged in that ring.

A HUGE thank you to Merilee Ventura and Bethanna Perry for all the time, knowledge and support you have given Hazel. Thank you for working with her, believing in her and helping her grow into the rider who walked into that Pony Finals ring this week. We are incredibly grateful to have you both be a part of her journey. 💙

And of course, thank you to everyone at Grace Lee Farm who has cheered these two on every step of the way.

We are SO incredibly proud of Hazel and Bentley and everything they accomplished this year.

First Pony Finals officially in the books. 💙✨🦄

And something tells me this is only the beginning.

Sloane closed out her IEA season with an incredible finish, placing 6th at Nationals! 🇺🇸✨

After a strong first round, she was called back for a second class, where she rode a completely different pony and rose to the occasion again. Catch riding two different ponies on a stage like this takes serious skill, adaptability, and composure — and she handled it beautifully.

To step into that environment and perform with that kind of confidence and grit is no small feat. We are so proud of the hard work, determination, and heart she’s shown all season long.

Top 6 in the nation is something truly special — and this is just the beginning. 💫

Congratulations, Sloane! 💙
