What a fun day at The Hamilton Hunt Club Jumper/Grasshopper show! So proud of our little team- not only for great rides but for showing great horsemanship and flexibility through the ups and downs of horse show days🩷

Thanks to everyone who leant a helping hand in making the day run smoothly! (Definite bonus that the weather cooperated this time 😝)

Congratulations to Summer Shaikh on a 7th place finish in the Lieutenant Governors Cup for her lovely “Riviera” 💜

Many thank yous to be said to all who supported us this weekend from near and far- but for now off for a good nights sleep 😴 Couldn’t have asked for a better way to wrap up the 2024 season with this fabulous 3yo who we backed in June - can’t wait to see what next season brings after a well deserved winter vacation! Good girl, V!

💙Justine Roberts and Cowboy were Reserve Champions of WSDAC First Level AA (missing champion by 0.05%!!)

💙Hailey Jaques and Professer Sam were First Level Jr Reserve champion (after driving halfway across Ontario and back to attend a clinic @ Jamesview Dressage - we cleaned up ok, I think 🤪)

So proud of you guys, and already looking forward to attending these amazingly well-run shows again next season 🥳 go team!

A great way to end the season for Team Andrews Eq 🌻 despite chilly temps the gang remained in good spirits and reminded me how lucky I am to have the best, most supportive group! Thanks for making my job so much fun!

September show results:

✨Justine Roberts and Cowboy putting in 4 solid tests in WSDAC Level 1 & 2- these two have made huge strides this season and are developing into a consistent, confident team in and out of the show ring!

✨Hailey Jaques and Professor Sam rocked their first level tests, coming out bronze Reserve Champions amongst open riders! So happy to see this team be able to finish the season strong despite setbacks and inclement weather events 😅 thank you to Mallory Haigh for sharing her perfect pony with us (and congrats on another successful show weekend! 💗)

✨Gail Wannop and Des made their Palgrave debut this weekend with great success- coming home Reserve champ of Silver Championships Training level AA, and champion of her division for the weekend! So glad you could join us this weekend, and looking forward to seeing this super team continue to develop 💪🏽💕

✨last but not least, Cheryl Semetok’s Frank was Silver Open Second level champion with scores 67%+ 💗 it has been a long road for this boy to return to the show ring and I am so thrilled to be a small part of his success!

As always, a massive thank you to Andrew Woodley, the Caledon Dressage team and all the generous sponsors making these shows possible! We are already counting down the days until next year.
