We had a great first week of summer camp last week. Our campers learned both on and off the horse. Their counselors showed them what tack was needed and why and how to get it all together before putting their pony in cross-ties, as well as teaching them about different parts of the bridle, saddle, and horse. They learned how to groom and tack up their ponies, as well as how to untack and hose them off after their ride. A little obstacle course was set up to practice guiding. They also spent a lot of time practicing their posting at the walk and the trot, and even got to trot over some poles. Before getting off, everyone did some stretches on their ponies, and thought of some new ways to ride (like backwards and criss-crossed😂). When everything was done at the barn it was up to the house to eat lunch in the air-conditioning and swimming in the pool, but not before a popsicle from the barn freezer.

Always a fun time at a Horse Shows in the Park, LLC at The Grand Oaks Resort. Lots of ribbons and more importantly lots of great rides from these girls! Big congratulations to Marlena who showed for the first time since her knee injury in October, she has worked so hard both on and off the horse to get here and we are so proud of her. Marlena and Blanket Approval changed speeds and put out beautiful hacks in Pleasure Horse/Pony (3rd, three 4th, 5th, 6th). Another sight for sore eyes in the ring this weekend was Nicole Hicks on Blugatti KSF and they took a 6th in the Derby on Saturday out of 16. Hillcrest Blue Bandit enjoyed a relaxing Saturday getting turned out and being barebacked to deliver lunch to Mrs. Debbie, but he and Angeline were ready to work on Sunday in Walk/Trot 10& over, and Walk/Trot Crossrails 10& over (3rd, 4th, two 5th, three 6th). Ila and Samster the Hamster rode beautifully together and had wonderful trips in Walk/Trot Crossrails 10& over and took home a Grand Champion (two 1st, 2nd, 3rd, two 5th, 6th). Ariana and Virginia Blue continued to grace the Walk/Trot Crossrails 9& under together (2nd, four 3rd, two 5th, 6th). Maiya was back for her second show on Blanket Approval in Crossrail Jumpers, and unfortunately for her parents we think she caught the horse show bug. We are so excited to see Maiya grow and move up in her riding(4th, three 6th). Sofie and Surprise Party showed in the 2ft Jumpers as well as Short Stirrup, it’s harder than you might think to switch disciplines that quickly and Sofie did it effortlessly (2nd, two 3rd, four 4th, 5th). Avri and Girl on Fire showed in the 2’9ft jumpers for the first time and if the trips they had give us a look into the future we can’t wait for it to come (two 2nd, three 3rd, 5th). Aniston Middleton and Quite A Roc are coming so far and did so well together in the Low Childrens 2’6ft Hunters, and took 3rd out of 16 in the Derby on Saturday (1st, 3rd, two 4th, two 5th). Tillie and Culture Icon had a great weekend taking all 2nd’s and 3rd’s in the Thoroughbred Hunters 2’3/2’6 ft. A new four-legged face made an appearance for Mardebri Manor. Alexa showed Caszillino in the 0.60 Jumpers on Saturday where they took Grand Champion and 2’3ft Jumpers on Sunday, which was also Alexa’s first time showing at this height. These two are still getting to know each other, but soon we are sure they’ll be winning everything (two 1st, two 4th). As always Mardebri is so proud of everyone who showed this weekend!
