In his very first (big!) class at his very first horse show, Colorful Hue took home the blue ribbon. He followed that up with a strong 3rd place out of 19 horses in the baby green 2'9". We are so excited for this young horse and the way he started off his horse show career!

Not to be outdone, his brother, Ritmo Zapoteco (both Hillary Fleming's horses, not actually related) won both Small Hunter classes out of 15 horses with scores of 84 and 85.

Congrats!🥳
