Rainy but productive day at Chagrin Valley Farms for the jumper show!

🥳 Emily and Onyx had some of their best rounds to date! They recently moved up to the 2’3” and a small oops on the timer line for the jump off kept them out of the big ribbons, but the progress from these two is fantastic!

🦄 Quinn and Duncan were Reserve Champion in the 2’3-2’6” with three awesome rounds in the rain!

🏆 Mikaela won all 3 of her classes (2 in the 2’6” and 1 in the 2’9”) and was Reserve Champion in the 2’6” novice jumper division as well as winning her first ever 2’9” class!

Extra congrats for series end awards 🥇🏆:
Quinn & Legacy’s Traveler champion 2’3-2’6”
Mikaela & In Your Dreams champion 2’6” novice
Alyssa & Bellamy champion 2’6” open

Another weekend, another horse show!

This one was a bit chilly and very wet, but none of the horses or riders seemed to mind all that much! Thank you Chagrin Valley Farms for another beautiful event! The fences were decorated so nicely, the course was a good challenge, and everyone kept things running efficiently!

Highlights:
Finn rode in the Open Starter Division for his first time. He jumped double clear and ended up second! He got braver as he went and really game as cross country went on… he did remind me that he used to be a turf horse 😂

We had the spots 1, 2, and 3 in the Starter Rider after dressage and stadium! 🥇🥈🥉
- Makenna took her role as Velma a little too seriously and couldn’t find her next jump 😉 should have known something was off when she arrived with her number upside down lol. Despite their elimination cross country, Easton and Makenna scored a 26 in the dressage which was the best score we saw all day 🥳
- Mikaela and Dreamy the Dragon were sitting second after dressage and stadium. They rode a beautiful starter test and had a really smooth stadium round! However, a little slip in the rainy grass caused a run out and they bumped down after cross country. They still managed a 7th place finish out of a large field!
- Last, but certainly not least, Quinn and Duncan the Pumpkin absolutely rocked it! They went double clear to finish on their dressage score and finished 1st 🏆 in a large class at their second attempt at the Starter level!

All these girls rode awesome today and the focus on dressage this summer seems to have really paid off! Looking forward to more mini trials next year with hopefully a little more sunshine ☀️ not too many photos to share as everyone’s fingers were frozen 😂
