What a show!! We had the BEST time at Always Fun Inc. Beach Party Horse Show!! All our horses were on point and riders were dialed in too!! Jia Hawkins and Acer won in the 2’ Hunter division, put in some fabulous rounds, had the most miraculous save of the whole weekend, and showed just how much they have improved since their last show! Jia also piloted Joleen around in the crossbars for some great ribbons!! Jamisen Bellach and Lulu stepped up to 2’ for the first time AND did it in the jumper ring!!! This kid and pony are a force to be reckoned with and so fun to watch, bringing home the blue and other multiple top ribbons along with Reserve Champion!! Olivia Corona competed in her first show on Joleen in the walk/trots, and was just fabulous!! Multiple wins, top ribbons and Reserve Champion!! Ellee Ziegler and Reba stepped into the jumper ring as well, and brought home the win and a second place in tough classes with lots of horses!! Ellee has improved so much in her riding it is so fun to see!! Kerrington Jeffcoach and I Love Lucy set the goal of starting to canter their courses this weekend and they KILLED it!! Champion and Reserve Champion along with a WHOLE bunch of great ribbons!! Addyson Gharibeh catch rode Acer this weekend for the first time, and they were very impressive winning the Flamingo Eq Challenge and getting 3rd in the Bitsy Shields Equitation Challenge! Rylee Becker and Elle Woods grew so much this weekend as a team together, bringing home the blue, other great ribbons and Reserve Champion!! Summer Fun was his usual fun self jumping around and continuing to progress in his journey playing with different heights and having LOTS of fun!! (He even won some $$)! Wyatt Antonsen and Joleen KILLED it as usual in their leadline class!! As great as all the results are, I’m most proud of the improvements and progress everyone made!!
