🔥An absolutely fantastic show for the Forza team at the Brookside Bonanza All Breed, AQHA and APHA Show at Brookside Equestrian Park!
Stacy Ansbro Hopper and Spook Ojay were super consistent in all events- ranch trail, ranch rail, and ranch riding- making solid scores and ending up High Point Champion for the All Breed Amateur/Youth W/T Ranch division and Reserve Champion in the All Breed Ranch Open W/T division!!
Bonnie Dennison and SJR Sparks Garbo had great rides in their ranch classes and tied for 3rd overall in the All Breed Amateur/Youth W/T Ranch Riding class! They also schooled well through the ranch trail courses and took the opportunity to work on not rushing through obstacles.
I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of showing not only Spook Ojay and SJR Sparks Garbo this weekend, but also a new mare, Tierra Tucker, for owner, Debbie Stewart Avila. It was a weekend of firsts for this mare- first ride with me, first ranch show, first time doing ranch trail, and first ribbons in ranch horse classes! She handled it all like a champ and seemed to really enjoy her new career!
Thank you to my clients for trusting me to ride your wonderful horses and coach you! Thank you MJM Show Services, Bill Madden, Lorraine Smith, and all Brookside staff for making the weekend so enjoyable with great awards, great evening events, and beautiful accommodations! Also special thanks to Isak Carter for setting up and maintaining the trail courses, as well as keeping exhibitors on task.
Looking forward to the Ranch Horse Spectacular at Murieta Equestrian Center in a few weeks!
