The final two 2025 BEST horse shows this August were a wonderful end to the series. Seeing our green horses progess so beautifully, our novice riders gaining confidence and our advanced riders polishing their skills has been such a joy to see.
Some results from the August shows
Ashley O'Connor and Clovis won Champion at both shows in August. What a wonderful end of this series for them! This was their first season together.
Leslie Wilson and Deja-Blue won their first ribbons ever at the first August show. It was a great day for them winning 5 blues, 1 red and Two Champions. They won Res. Champion and won a class at the 2nd August show.
Caroline Hardie piloted her young horse Catchphrase to Champion in the Baby Greens at the second August show. They have come so far this season. They won a Tri Color at ever show this season.
