Last Saturday a few of the girls finished up the show year for canter down farm; including a Halloween costume class. Gianna and Camilla dressed as trick riders with all the flashy details included! They shared 2nd place for their designs. G and Booya also finished champion in the steppin up division. Cam and winter were champion in the short/long stirrup hunters, then she and Marin and happy went back and forth winning open schooling classes. Marin also earned 3rd in the eq flat challenge.
And onto Gohja’s final show this weekend!

Rain over Friday night tried to ruin our wknd at gohja; we did have to scratch or move around a few horses for sat, but in the end everyone got to play and win some ribbons.
Judge was the superstar over the wknd; Beth shared him with Kate to let her finish the show year. Beth was champion both days in the beginner hunters, and won both pleasure classes sat. Kate was reserve sat then champion sun in the beginner eq, and was 1,2 in the pleasure classes sun.
Marissa and her new, young tb, Sinatra experienced their first show together; also Marissa’s first hunter show. There were mistakes made, and a wild moment on sun when he decided to launch over the top of the schooling standards, instead the appropriate 18” the jump was set at🙈 but there were also great moments that earned them good ribbons in the baby green hunters.
Erin and Ezra did the smaller jumps in the covered sun, but his size makes navigating that ring and he was getting grumpy being held back. When the outdoor ring dried up, they moved over into the adult eq, finished champion and 1,2 in the open pleasure classes with their best flatting together yet.
Oscar is a great mudder, so they showed both days in the ch/ad jumpers. It wasn’t their best wknd together, but she was able to fix some of the mistakes we’ve been working on, with a couple more to go to make them more consistent.
Kimber is also a great mudder; she showed in the schooling hunters and classic both days with Liz. Sat she was champion and won the classic; sun they were champion again and 3rd in the classic.
Ghost only showed on sun, he was champion in the level 1 jumpers with Liz, and picked up a pair of 3rds with Emily.
Kim shipped in with Ivy Sunday; last time she came in the summer Ivy was very spooky at the fences. This show there was none of that, but Kim felt unwell after the first round; so Liz jumped on for the 2nd round. They picked up a 3,6 in the 2’3” jumpers.
Three days at home and then we head back to grand oaks for the Halloween show!

Congratulations to Jessa and the Howell family on their new, jumper mare, Luna! She had her first lesson on her this morning and learned a lot in a short period of time. And she made me laugh at how demanding she is on the ground already, and they’ve only known each other since Sunday afternoon 🤣

Week 2 of 5 in a row is in the books! This past weekend was Hsitp at grand oaks; somehow we managed to avoid the worst of the storms that hit central Florida this wknd. And the show had great numbers!! Most divisions had 15+ entries; it was great to experience. Saturday everyone was really good; Sunday we were tired and made mistakes, but still had some great finshes. Jessa and Boeing came back after over a year off to finish reserve champion in the high children’s Hunter Sunday, plus ribbons in every low children’s hunters sat and the derby and classic rounds. Tess and Oliver had their first show together since her injury at the start of this year; it was like they hadn’t missed a beat! They won four .70m rounds across both days and a champion. Marin showed both Saki (first time!) and Happy this weekend. Sat she and happy did the easy 2’ jumpers and finished champion; sun they played in the .70 rounds and finished in the ribbons twice. Saki went home with a couple ribbons, too but we are mostly just learning how to ride her as she is the antithesis of Happy. Erin and Ezra showed sat only; their first time together in the 2’6” as well! They went home with a couple ribbons in great company against the pros. Liz and Ghost played in the .80 and .85 classes and went home with some good ribbons; Emily came Sunday and rode a .85 round and pinned as well! Jen and Simon came for extra practice, too as he’s been having some confidence issues in the show ring. They won a couple classes and finished reserve champion in the .90’s. Back to canter down this wknd!

Finally having a slow moment to post! We made a shorter (than normal) visit to WEC last week with a small group of jumpers. Riley and moe finished 1,2 for champion in the open meter division. Liz and Simon earned a 5th in the first .95m of the week, but he had a harder time as each day went on so we’re looking to take a step back and figure out how to help him succeed at his job. And Nicole and Kandy shipped in Friday for their first show back since early summer; they had super confident rounds to finish with a 4th,5th. Onto grand oaks this weekend!

The girls had a great time this weekend for canter down, despite the weathers best attempt to thwart Saturday afternoon. The Lindbloom girls practiced their model class, Camilla and winter had lots of practice in the 2’ divisions, and Gianna and baby Bella had lots of practice in the 18” divisions. Both girls went home with lots of 1sts,2nds and tricolors. Cam also finished 3rd in a huge eq flat challenge class against the ‘big’ girls! Maya and Rufus came back after almost a year off; they were in great form and went home with a few champions. Marin and happy shipped in both days just before their 2’3” division; he was a good boy for her and did his job without question (sometimes an issue!) and finished reserve in the hunters (they’re actually jumpers lol) and 2nd in the medal challenge. Lily showed Red Bull for the first time in a handful of flat classes each day, ending with a clean sweep of the pleasure sat, 1st open schooling, 7th in the eq flat challenge sat, then won both their hunter u/s classes and the eq flat on Sunday. Jessa showed 3 very different horses over the wknd, finishing champion on her pony in the green xrails sat, winning the big eq flat challenge on her young wb, boeing Saturday; coming back with her mom’s tb, Elmo on sun and finishing reserve champion in the schooling hunters. Great job girls! Next up is WEC next week; Oct brings 4 weeks straight of showing as well!
