Harangue and Claire in the Suitable Hunters
On Sunday August, 16th we attended the Corner Haven Farm Horse Show in Trumansburg, NY. Despite the 95 degree weather, we had a wonderful time! I showed Harangue, a beautiful Thoroughbred owned by Renee Lane, in the Suitable Hunters. We placed forth and fifth over fences, and placed second in the under saddle, as well as second in the Open Hunter Under Saddle. Heather rode Geronimo, owned by Dr.Rob Kiltz, in his Green Puddle Jumper debut and placed 3rd in the Table 2.2b class! Great riding Heather! I rode Rayden, owned by Roxanne Witkowski, in the Puddle Jumper division, placing 3rd, 2nd, and 2nd. Pat, for our grand finale, rode his stunning mare, Suki, in the Schooling Jumpers and came away with the Grand Championship! Awesome riding Pat! Congrats!
We look forward to Corner Haven Farm Jumper Show in October!

Heather is all smiles on Geronimo!

Rayden and Claire go clear!

Pat and Suki take the Grand Championship!

Lynn & Ransom, Claire & Umbella, Heather & Rosey, Patrick & Suki, Nikki & Lucky
We all rode in the Puddle Jumper division at the If Only Farm Schooling Show on Saturday.
I had a successful school on Umbella. Patrick had three wonderful rides and won 6th place
in all three classes on Suki. Nikki, in her first time doing the jumpers, did a fantastic
job and got a 4th and a 5th on Lucky! Lynn had three amazing classes and won second place
in all three on Ransom. Heather, also in her first time doing jumpers, won 5th place and
4th place on Rosey. More important than the ribbons, which I was obviously pleased with,
I would like to congratulate everyone on their wonderful sportsmanship and horsemanship.
I am so proud to have such an amazing group of students that, while working hard on
achieving their own personal goals, support and encourage one another with enthusiasm and
a positive spirit.
Thank you to all you that came out to cheer us on! Rick, Virginia, Chris, Jeff, Lizz, and
all of the friends, parents and grandparents that attended made such a difference in our
day. The riders couldn’t do it without all of your support and assistance!
We are off to great start for the year and I am really looking forward
to the next horse show!
