This week we have worked on having a solid base and correct balance over fences. Starting on the flat we work without stirrups and reins, then move to jumping small x rails before moving on to a small vertical. The main ideas are for the riders to trust themselves and their horses and well as feel how to hold their own bodies over the jump without relying on the horse to hold them up.

These lucky two were the only ones riding when Daniel came out with his camera. Everyone else has made it by without photo evidence 😂😉

We had a great day at Molly Hill last weekend!

Lucy and DADDY'S BOAT MONEY started us off with 2nd and 3rd in Hopeful Hunter for their first show back after Lucy's knee surgery.

Sydney and WICKED HALLUCINATIONS pinned 2nd and 3rd in Pre Childrens Hunter while also winning the Pre Childrens Medal.

Grace and WICKED HALLUCINATIONS brought home her first Champion ribbon with two blues and two reds in Beginner Equitation.

Sarah and BLUE RIDGE RISE AND SHINE won primary colors in Special Hunter for their second show together.

Jen and CHOOSE JULIA won three of the four Special Hunter classes to bring home Champion, along with a few happy tears.

Bella and GM'S AS YOU WISH won the Pony Medal and had good courses in the 2'6 pony hunters.

Chloe and INTRIGUE were 1, 2, 3 in the Low Childrens Hunter walking away with Reserve Champion and had a clean sweep of the Low Hunter for Champion.

This show had a Teal Out class to support Ovarian Cancer Research so we decked ourselves and our horses out in teal for the day in support of one of our barn moms.

Ludwigs Corner Fair 2025! We had a great weekend and could not have asked for better weather.

GM's As You Wish and Bella had some of their best trips to date, including jumping around their first derby with no schooling.

Intrigue and Chloe made huge improvements from last year winning both the Equitation and hunter under saddle classes and pinning in every over fences.

Wicked Hallucinations and Sydney had two good flat rides making it into the call back of two huge flat classes. They also laid down a fabulous trip to earn 4th of 54 in the 2' derby.

RH Rowdy Boy and Sami won several over fences classes on their way to Champion Low Childrens Hunter.

Wicked Hallucinations and Abi played in the 2'9" Thoroughbred bringing home Reserve Champion.

Intrigue and Abi had two good over fences trips and won the flat in a very competitive Low Hunter division.

Battle Aray and Lauren van Dam were 3rd in the 1.10 speed stake and completed their first 1.25m mini prix CLEAR!

It takes a village to have a successful weekend and we have a great one. Thank you to all of our girls and parents for helping each other, Daniel for taking photos, and the entire staff at Ludwigs for being kind and keeping the show running smoothly.

We had a long, hot, successful day at the The Cecil County Fair with all of our riders doing something new! It was Grace's first horse show, Sydney, Bella, and Iris all moved up in divisions with their horses, and Natalie and Sami stepped into the 2'6 Hunter Derby taking the high options. We came home with multiple tricolors and a few sashes! Onto the Summer Sizzle August 2nd.

Thank you to all the volunteers who work so hard to put on the Cecil County Fair open show. The classes were huge and they managed to fit everyone in before it was completely dark. Its also always fun to see familiar faces out and about.
