We’re so proud of Olivia for placing 3rd in the CDHJC Horsemastership Award class, and winning $100!

50% of her final score was based on her equitation classic ride, and the other two portions contained a 50 question written exam, and a hands on practicum, including parts of the horse, braiding, bits, and horse shoe types!

We take great pride in developing our riders into future horsemen and horsewomen, not just in the saddle, but to be well rounded in all aspects of our sport. She has learned so much and is eager to perfect her knowledge for next years award! Thank you Capital District Hunter Jumper Council for giving this opportunity to our riders.

Dream Boy ☁️🌙
2018 Westphalian Gelding

Dream is your hack winner who will jump anything sight unseen. We believe he will make a TOP amateurs hunter for a good riding kid or adult under a professionals program. He has competed at in the baby greens, and the 2’9 hunters this summer with two reserve champions. A true sweet heart in the barn with a little bit of a goof ball personality. He’s a kick ride with an auto change, and ready for the 3’. With a little more experience off property, this guy will be your winner.
More information and contact details on our website bijouequestrian.com. Located in Amsterdam NY for trials.

Current list 📋✅

1. 6yo 17.0h grey Holsteiner Gelding. Grand Prix potential. Imported February 2023 with fully vetting. We see this guy taking anyone far in the jumper ring but he is easy enough for the equitation, and has the movement and jump for the big hunter ring. L or S High Fives

2. 5yo 16.2 dark dun Oldenburg Gelding. Imported February 2023 with full vetting. Brave, super smart, and has scope for anything. Ribbons in the 3’ greens and young hunters. Scope and the jumping style to become a professionals performance, or derby horse. Easy enough for juniors, and could also be a super star in the jumper ring as well. High Fives

3. 5yo 16.2h dark bay Westphalian gelding. Imported February 2023 with full vetting. Ultimate Hunter prospect. Brave to the jumps, hack winner, auto change. Green but straight forward. Will develop into the most incredible amateur horse. Mid-High Fives

4. 8yo 16.1 bay Brandenburg gelding. Experience in the 3’ Equitation, 1.0m jumpers, national derbies and 3’3 Hunters. True three ring horse. Sweet as pie in the barn. Never needs to see the jumps. In house L or sale High Fives - Low sixes

5. 8yo 16.1 Grey Westphalian mare. Experience up to 3’ hunters. 10 front end, hack winner, auto change. Brave, smart, and kind. In house L or S High fives

Shelbi has competed nationally alongside some of the most accomplished riders in the history of the sport. Shelbi is in pursuit of her 'r' judges card under the guidance of 'R' Judge Carol Molony in both Hunter and Hunter/Jumping Seat Equitation. She attended Pace University and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management to augment her extensive hands-on experience in all aspects of the hunter-jumper disciplines. Shelbi began riding at 6 years old where she learned the importance of proper horse care. She rode younger, inexperienced horses, as her career progressed, and prepared them to compete at the national level. Riding a variety of horses grew her talent for recognizing and developing young horses into national competitors. Shelbi rode and competed under the guidance of top professionals in the industry through her entire career. After the completion of her Junior years, she went to join JT Farm in South Salem NY as their barn manager under the guidance of professional Jimmy Toon. Shelbi has qualified for and ribboned at every National Horse Show since the start of her junior career in the hunters, jumper, and equitation. in 2006 she represented Zone II for Prix De States, and was invited to represent Zone II at the NAJYR Championship in 2007. She was invited to ride in the High Jr Jumpers at Syracuse International Horse show in 2006 and 2007 and came home in the top 3. Shelbi’s 20+ years of experience in the saddle, and more than 10+ years’ experience training from the ground, have allowed her to extend her natural ability and passion into a lucrative business.
