Been meaning to do an HH post all fall about the shows and how proud we are of these horses and riders, and have not quite had the time to sit down and do it. But, proud is an understatement, and we’ll break it up into a few posts starting with these 4!
I’ve been meaning to do a farm post all fall about the shows and how proud we are of these horses and riders, and have not quite had the time to sit down and do it.But, proud is an understatement, and we’ll break it up into a few posts. We’ll start with these 4 horses right here that happen to be out. Mr Gazzo got to go to his first show since July this past weekend, and moved up to the 1.05 with a great win at the PHA championship. He’s clean, brave, and fast and everything you’d want in a young jumper. This is a huge jump up from the spring where he was over jumping and not turning with great control. We are so proud of him. Thank you to his owners Donna and Tom Jameson. Your look of pride says it all! 2nd in the video is High Minded “Simon”. Mind you, his owner, Adria Murphy, has started him from the beginning. They have grown together, reaching new goals together - and crushing them! They were reserve Champion Amateur Owner both at Buffalo International and at the PHA Finals. 3rd is Pandora. Her name says it all, as she is is an absolute gem. She and her owner Ann Marie Poland were Grand Children’s Champion at the Buffalo International and got some great ribbons at the Kentucky National. Watching these two together has been a beautiful thing, and we can’t wait to see them enter the amateur ring together. Noteworthy that these 3 are all thoroughbreds who excel in any division they go in. They are beautiful, athletic, and KIND. And what more could anyone ask for. Last in the video is Camalii. She and owner Jessica Bennet won the Amateur jumper classic at the Kentucky National. They shine and shine together, no matter the occasion. And also, a huge thank you to Jess for helping out at both Buffalo shows!! We couldn’t have done it without her on those busy days! More to come, but we just wanted to get the ball rolling on some recaps. The biggest thank you to Buffalo International, Kentucky National, and the PH

I think the key to longevity in this business…. Is to start every day and end every day being able to look around and say, …… I am blessed….
