Congrats to Kendahl for a 4th place finish at IEA National Finals in Varsity Open Jumping!! Another outstanding accomplishment for the highest level of competition at the IEA High School National Finals with 953 riders competing from across the nation throughout the season. Kendahl made it to Nationals last year and finished 6th as a Freshman, moved up 2 spots to 4th this year and made it to the finals in the Flat competition this year and had a great ride. Great job Kendahl!!

Crazy good weekend for Kendahl starting with the IEA Zone Championship at Miami University - Ohio getting 1st in Jumping and 3rd in the Flat, qualifying for both at Nationals in late April. This is a repeat trip to the IEA National Championship. She then had a great weekend on Kingston, in his first 3'6" Equitation classes, they were 1st in the Washington (WIHS Equitation Classic Hunter Phase). Kingston is super happy stepping up to the bigger jumps and looked great doing it. Memphis had some great trips over the weekend also.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

The IEA National Finals are being held this week at the National Equestrian Center in Lake St Louis. The high school students attending had previously qualified for Regionals, then some advanced to the Zone Championships and then the top 18 riders in nation in each category, made it to this week's National Finals. Kendahl qualified for the Varsity Open Huntseat Jumping class which competed this morning. Just before the class starts, the riders are randomly paired up with horses that they only get to ride in a one minute warm up over 2 jumps and then they go straight into the arena with several hundred people watching. .

She entered the class with confidence and did an awesome job, ending her freshman IEA season 6th in the nation. This video shows her ride on Ronnie.

It was a great year and we want to thank Terri Foreman for coaching the Commonwealth Equestrians team. Kendahl loved being part of the team this year. Special thanks to Bettina Guignon for training Kendahl how to understand what a horse needs and prepare her to effectively ride any horse.

Big weekend for Kendahl at the Interscholastic Equestrian Association Zone 5 Finals at Albion College. On Friday, she competed against the 13 top point winners from 12 regions and won the Varsity Open Championship. On Saturday, she competed in the Varsity Open Equitation Over Fences and was Reserve Champion which earns her spot to compete in the IEA National Championship next month. We couldn't be more proud of Kendahl and all the hard work and the great training from Bettina, has paid off with excellent results. Special thanks to Terri Foreman for inviting Kendahl to the team and for all her hard work coaching Commonwealth Equestrians.

Kingston is back! After almost 6 months of taking tender loving care, the big guy gets to start doing what he loves, showing. Beth and Kendahl did a great job easing Kingston back and getting him fit and ready to show. Thanks to Bettina for helping us understand what he needs. Here is a video of one of his classes this weekend during the Prime Time schooling show at the National Equestrian Center. We are so grateful to achieve this milestone and can't wait to see what the future holds for Kingston.

Kendahl had a great weekend at the beautiful Culver Academies, competing in the Interscholastic Equestrian Association. 4 classes, 5 very fancy ribbons. Great job Kendahl! It wouldn't be possible without Bettina's training. Big thanks to Terri Foreman for inviting Kendahl to join her team. One more weekend to be able to qualify for regionals. Good luck, Kendahl.
