Our final Florida recap highlights and gives a sincere THANK YOU to the people behind the scenes who make the successes in the ring possible.  From keeping the barn and the tack immaculate, to early morning lunging, running horses to the rings, bathing, clipping, weekly bran mashes, pulling twisted shoes, blankets, night checks…. The list goes on and on and on.  It is your early mornings, late nights and attention to every little detail that make our goals attainable. Andres, Frank and Carlos, grateful is an understatement. 

Brittany many THANKS to you for keeping the barn running at home in the cold and ice and wind all winter! There was peace of mind knowing you had your keen eye on all of the horses and students while we were away.

Here’s to making many more memories together both at home and on the road this summer!

Our last two weeks at HITS Ocala were a whirlwind, with everybody trying to squeeze every last ounce out of our time in Florida. We had some highlights in fun classes like the Jr / Am National Hunter Derby and the 1.05m and 1.15m Jumper Classics, culminating in Maddie Mushok and Ava Stantial competing in the Grand Prix ring.

📣 Hybris appreciation post!! 📣

Emi and “H” finished the circuit with a weekend that included THREE trips of a lifetime, including a National Derby score of 86 (nailing ALL the 3’6 options, thank you very much!), a large jr hunter classic score of 86, and a 🥇 in the hugely competitive jr hunter handy! 😍💪🏼

Two short years ago, these two were learning their way around the low children’s hunter division — Hybris fresh out of the jumpers, Emi transitioning to the hunters. They’ve put in the work, taken it slow, learned to trust each other, and the results are plain to see!

So proud of them both!
