Just two kiddos born and raised at Falcon Hill Farm who crushed a BIG goal this weekend!
Let’s back track a bit…
In 2014, a pregnant Avery Rhodes wandered up to my farm looking for lessons for her oldest daughter.
A few months later in 2014, we welcomed a beautiful buckskin filly by our Wharley Magic Flute and out of Foxmor Blueprint. I begged her not to turn grey every day for a year. With her given name of FHF Pippapotumus, we knew she was destined to be great (and fat)! 😂
A few more months later, future pony rider, Scarlet Akins was born!
At 4 years old, the Akins Family purchased Pippa to bring along for Scarlet! With lots of work from big sister Willa Rose Akins and some natural grit on Scarlet’s part, Pippa and Scarlet worked their way up from walk trot to short stirrup to children’s pony.
This weekend we made their official move up to the USEF Medium Green Pony Hunters and earned RESERVE CHAMPION honors! ❤️👏🏻🎉
Thank you Grace Humber for all the help getting Pippa ready for this weekend! Grace and Pippa were Reserve Champion in the USHJA 2’3 Hunters after just doing 2/5 classes!
Thank you to the Akins family again for pouring so much into your girls and trusting the process of bringing along a young pony and pony rider! ❤️
