Yesterday was the last show of the year for the dynamic duo of Adelyn and Holly Would and they wrapped it up with a bang! After taking the Champion ribbon in the Mini Stirrup Eq, they changed it up to win "Best Portrayal of Movie Characters" in the Halloween costume class as Jessie and Bullseye from the Toy Story movies. They went back into the show ring in the Mini Stirrup Hunters and missed Reserve Champions by just a few points. This clinched their position as Reserve Champions for the Sussex series for 2026 in both divisions!! On this gorgeous Fall day, Adelyn achieved the goal that she set for herself at last year's awards banquet of being Reserve in at least one of these divisions in 2026. What terrific determination from such a young girl, and what a wonderful partner she has in Holly. Next year will be a step up to the Short Stirrup division and I'm sure I will be just as proud of them then as I am now!!
