What a great way to end our 2024 Show Season! We went out to Osierlea this weekend for a first show for not just one but TWO of our riders! The girls did a great job navigating their fist show despite the soggy weather and cool temperatures.

🌟Mia P***k showed Unika (owned by older sister Danielle P***k) at Intro B, earning a 75% and Junior High Point for the weekend
🌟Ella Ruth debuted at Training Level with Bay Breeze (owned by Julia Lee) earning a 61% and showing lots of promise for next season

As always, we had a great time and we’re thankful to Osierlea and show management for another great event. We’ll see you all in the ring next year!

Biggest congratulations to Julia Lee and True Colors on a 4th place finish in the USEF 14-18 Dressage Seat Medal Final🏅Special thank you to owner Deanna Hertrich for sharing this wonderful horse with us, and to every one both here in Illinois and at home in California for the kind words and support for this pair. Expect a longer post in the days to come regarding the trip, but we just had to get this one going now. Congrats Julia & BooBoo!

This post is honestly one that we hate to write, because who really likes goodbyes? This month not one but THREE members of the team left us for Colorado State University as they continue their education! While we are so proud of each of you, this goodbye has been a tough one. Wishing the girls all the best in their next step💜

Continuing on our summer backlog, Julia & Bay Breeze represented the team at the JR/YR Northern Championships in Woodside. Achievements for the two included:
🏅4th in their 14-18 First Level Championship
🏅Champion in the CDS 14-18 Equitation
🏅Overall Equitation High Score, bringing home not one, but TWO trophies for one ride!
Additionally, the pair participated in Friday night’s fun “Champagne Class” which was Paris themed in in the spirit of the Olympics, and we think the two were easily the best dressed!
