Buxton Equestrian

09/22/2024

Our final short course event of the season was yesterday and what a great day it was! The weather was perfect and the riders were excellent.

I am so proud of the 13 (!) riders from our barn. You all have grown and improved so much this year: Ashley, Jayda, Kesleigh, Henley, Aislyn, Finleigh, Andrea, Tal, Riley, Jamie, Austyn, Molly and Dana.

Also a big thank you to our dressage judge, Alexandra Morgan Equestrian, our scribe Joanne Shuttleworth, my mother Pat Melbrew-buxton for running the secretary booth and canteen, my dad Steve Buxton for all his work in the fields and rings, and everyone else who helps keep the shows running!

Thank you to our 2024 series sponsors, we couldn't do this without you!

Zazou
3 y/o 16.3 branded Hanoverian filly by Zoom out of a Hotline mare.
Zazou was started in the fall as she was growing so sticky, and is going happily w/t under saddle. She has a fantastic brain which shows in her willingness to learn.
Quiet enough for an amateur but talented enough for a pro, Zazou will excel in the hunter or dressage rings.
Well handled since birth, Zazou takes new challenges in stride and will be ready to begin her show career in the spring.
A talented filly looking for an equally talented rider!

Updated media will be available shortly.
Mid 5 figures USD.
Colborne, ON.

Far Side of Dublin

4 y/o 15.1 unraced TB mare by Frac Daddy out of Heartstruck Hannah by Nephrite.
'Ducky' is a super sweet filly who absolutely loves to cuddle. She has clean legs and good feet.
Track trained but unraced, Ducky was not started under saddle until winter 2023/2024, so has been allowed to grow and has less wear and tear than most her age.
Ducky is well acclimated to home life and ready to begin her new career: the small horse hunter division is calling her name!

We had a fantastic weekend at QSLB Cadora at the beautiful Doornekamp farm this past weekend.
Zippy was a superstar earning scores in the mid 60's to win all 3 of his first level tests.
Andrea and Dundee participated in their first dressage show and after a learning curve on Saturday which earned them a 5th and two 3rds at training level, they won all 3 of their training tests on Sunday as well as the SR high score of the day.
Looking forward to the final show of the year in September.

Another successful show in the books.
Thank you to all riders, coaches, parents, volunteers, sponsors, spouses, and everyone in between for making the day a great one!

I'm very proud of all the riders, but especially those that represented Buxton Equestrian. There were so many improvements and personal bests today, and everyone came together to help each other out.

Our next and final short course of the year is Sept 21. We can't wait to see everyone again!

As always, thank you to our sponsors.
