Harmon Classic Derby Mania was such a fun weekend, we’re thrilled to be returning in less than 2 weeks!

Katherine and Lonna had great trips in the performance hunters and the derby on Friday for Katherine’s first time in the 3’! They also pinned 5th in the under saddle, 5th and 6th in their over fences trips their first time in the juniors out of 13, as well as a 3rd in the NCHJA Masters Medal to finish the weekend!

Sophia K had a fantastic weekend with Ellie for her first show back in over a year and a half! They knocked it out of the park winning nearly every class they were in all weekend out of a huge group in the 2’6 and 2’9 jumpers. The highlight of the weekend was winning the combined 2’6-2’9 Jumper Classic out of almost 30!

George had a phenomenal time out at his first big show playing his hand in all 3 rings! With Rhianne, he had great rounds for his first time ever in the 3’ Foothills TB division including a 2nd in an over fences trip. He also finished 9th out of 19 in the pro derby with Rhianne. Sophia N catch rode him to a 6th in his 3’ jumper trip as well as grabbing a 6th out of 11 in the 3’ BRHJA medal!

Sophia N also rode Griffin to a great trip in the derby as well as taking him into the jumper ring on Sunday for a change of pace. They both had a blast getting him out of the hunter ring! Rhianne also rode Griffin to two 3rds and a 4th in the hack out of 11 in the 2’6 Foothills TB.

Blair took Kiki for a spin in the jumper ring this weekend, and went from the 2’6” Friday to the 3’ by Sunday! They had great trips all weekend and snagged two 4ths, as well as pinning 7th out of almost 30 horses in the combined 2’6-2’9 Classic.

We always love showing at the Harmon Classic shows, and can’t wait to be back soon!
