The End of an Era

Tonight we threw a Retirement Party for 3 really remarkable horses. Rubincon ( Rocky), Montague ( Monte) and Secret Tea ( Secret) were celebrated in a well attended get together honoring these three unicorns. They each are greatly adored by their moms who just want them to live their best lives. They have been amazing teachers, show partners, emotional support animals and best friends to so many people in our barn. They deserve nothing but the best for the rest of their lives and that's exactly what they will get!

The MHSA Regional finals always marks the end of the season. It's traditionally a pretty large show and this year was no exception. We had three that had qualified for Regional Finals and two that completed in the heavily attended 2'6 schooling divisions in their first indoor show.

Downtown Brown and Anne Brown completed their 2023 season with Champion in the MHSA Low Adult Finals. Winning one over fence and the hack.

Complement played double duty by competing in the Low Adult Finals with Rebecca Gonser winning a 2nd, 5th, 8th and Long Stirrup Finals with Sloane Gonser winning a 2nd and an 7th.

The new partnership of Kelly McNew and Garden Party made great strides forward this weekend ending with a 7th over fences in a 30+ entry division and a 3rd under saddle in a 40+ division.
