Greystone Farm headed to October Bruce’s Field in Aiken and came home with ribbons, memories, and plenty of reasons to smile!

Horse shows are about more than testing our skills, putting our training to work, or conquering a challenge. They’re a chance to step away, spend time with our horses, old friends, make new ones, and recharge before heading back to the responsibilities awaiting us at home. It’s our thing and we are so incredibly grateful.

Here are the highlights:

💙 Krista Jones and Janita
Brought home the blue in the Challenge Round, along with 5th in a Low Adult over-fences round, 8th in the Low Adult under saddle, and 8th in the USHJA 2’9”. Janita and Dale teamed up for 3rd in the USHJA 2’9” — need we say more about the difference between the pro and the ammy? 😉💙

❤️ Maren and Claim to Fame
Claim to Fame wrapped up his Baby Green year with both Maren and Dale in the irons. Dale earned 3rd and 4th in the Baby Greens, while Emily took one for the team with a 6th under saddle. Maren finished the weekend strong with 3rd and 4th in the Low Adult Hunters and 2nd in the Challenge Round. What a way to close out the year! Finley is ready to take on the 3’ Greens and Adults next season! 🎉

🏇 Emily Hamilton and Street Smart
Finished strong in the Middle Adults with 5th and 6th, plus a 12th in the USHJA National Hunter Derby. Way to go, Emily and Street Smart!

💝Lissette Leon Cring and Helios
Lissette and Helios had some lovely rounds in the Low Adult Hunters, continuing to build on the work they’ve been putting in at home.

🙏🥰We’re forever grateful for our horses, our barn family, and especially our trainer Dale Wright, Lauren Donahue and staff, . The ribbons are wonderful, but the memories we make together are what keep us coming back.

Happy Birthday to our fearless leader, Dale Wright

🍂Aiken Fall Festival was a competitive show but the Greystone team held their own. 💪 Many thanks to Dale Wright, Lauren Donahue and Marc❤️

JUMPERS
💙☔️🦄Ellie and “I Love a Rayne Night” in their second show as Jumpers, moved up to the .85s and brought home the blue!

🤩Penny entered the show ring after a ~20 year hiatus on her green, but oh so brave, OTTB “Made You Blush”. They both did phenomenal and also moved up to the .85s! We are excited to watch this pair continue to develop.

HUNTERS
💛🥉Liz and “After Eight” put in solid rounds and came away with a 5th out of 22 in the 3’ Greens and collected a 5th, 6th, and 7th in the younger adults.

🔥🏇Emily and “Street Smart” put in very accurate and consistent rounds in a large and competitive older adults division. They came home with two 4ths, a 5th, 6th and 7th.

🙌Lissette and “Helios” overcame some issues and finished with a beautiful Challenge round minus the unfortunate rail. Their ribbons included a 3rd, 4th and 8th in the Under saddles and a 7th in the Challenge. 🙌

💅Krista and “Janita” pinned 6th in the USHJA (without Dale tuning her). They also secured a 5th in the division and finished with a 4th in the Challenge round.

What a summer it’s been… hot, sticky, rainy, dry—you name it, we’ve ridden through it! 😅☀️🌧️

Back in the middle of July, Greystone loaded up and headed to Tryon. Here’s the highlight reel:

🏆🥈 Vera and her Zone 3 teammates, Brooklyn and Peyson (Virginia Beach) jumped their way to Team Silver in the 1.20m Junior Team Finals with some outstanding rounds.

💙 Talia and Glamorous kept the momentum going in the Jumpers, earning a blue ribbon and continuing to gain confidence. Just wait until these two start dialing in their speed!

☔️💧🦄 Ellie and I Love a Rayne Night also made the move to the Jumpers. Rayne keeps impressing us every time this greenie steps into the ring.

Good job riders!
Thank you Dale Wright and Lauren Donahue and the staff❤️

Not bad for their first finals! 8th in the Classic. Under Saddle up next and Handy tomorrow.

Greystone Farm ventured to beautiful Upperville, VA to participate in the Loudoun Benefit Horse Show the second week of June 2026. With several Caniacs at the barn, it was a lot of horse showing coupled with cheering the Carolina Hurricanes to an eventual Stanley Cup! Talk about horse show hangover. Thanks to Dale Wright, Lauren Donahue and the crew for making it happen! Oh, we also survived a tornado. Here’s a recap:

🏆🥈Vera and Catch Me 53 jumped fantastically to a 2nd in the 1.2m Jr/Am Classic and secured Reserve Champion in the division. It was such a great round, mama Britt shed a tear🤗

💝🐕Liz and After Eight (“Duncan”) laid down some great trips in the Younger Adults, ribboning in a large and competitive group. They also had a blast in the Jr/Am derby, scoring an 83 in the handy! Plus Duncan finally met his new doggie siblings, Pippa and Graham!

🐴🐈✨ Isla and Cat Sherry had some of their best rounds to date in the 1.0m Amateur jumpers. Another great weekend, and they can’t wait for Zone Finals next month!

🤩 Talia and Glamorous had solid rounds in the Large Pony division and got to do their first jumper class and they are hooked! Watch this space closely to see where this goes:)

💅 Krista and Janita also had solid rounds and also did their first jumper round! See pics for a snap of it all coming together.
