We're counting down the days until we meet all these selfless people back in the show ring, continuing to make these memories!!

Who can forget last year's incredible moment in the Dixon Oval when Take Center, LLC rider Kylee Kelly won the Grand Champion title catch riding Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Academy 2024 Therapeutic Horse of the Year, Molly, using borrowed tack from Special Equestrians!

This incredible moment is a testimony to Kylee's talent as a rider, with her first ride on a new horse being in the biggest of all classes of the competition, to Molly's adaptability and eagerness to suit her riders, to the beaming kindness of Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Academy and Special Equestrians to support this competition and its riders.

A kind member of the public took time to reach out to PATH Intl. to share something beautiful she witnessed at Devon Horse Show in PA about the extraordinary camaraderie between PATH Intl. Centers. Read and enjoy!

“Dear PATH Intl. Not sure if you recognize via awards or newsletters, but if you do, I wanted to highlight the beauty that can happen when the community comes together.

This weekend, I was supporting the Therapeutic Riding Division of the Devon Horse Show and witnessed what riding should be about. On Saturday, the riders competed and on Sunday the champions of each division came to the Devon Show Grounds to receive their awards AND compete for the Grand Championship.

A rider from TaKE Center Rehabilitation Services (Kylee) wasn't able to bring the horse to the Devon Show Grounds on Sunday to receive her award or compete in the Grand Championship. Marie Guggenheim and Carol Laulis from Thorncroft Equestrian Center noticed this and immediately started to put a plan together, they were going to try and get one of their horses on a trailer to lend it to her. That's when Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Academy heard what was going on and offered their 2024 Horse of the Year, Molly, who was at the ceremony to receive her award, to Kylee to ride. The catch was that they didn't have a saddle for Molly since she wasn't being ridden, just receiving the award. That's when Special Equestrians heard about the situation and ran back to their trailer where they had spare tack to lend her.

Kylee was able to ride in the Grand Championships on a borrowed horse with borrowed tack because all three programs were selfless and worked together. To add to the smiles, Kylee ended up winning the Grand Championship!

What a beautiful community your local teams have! I hope you are able to somehow celebrate them.

Thank you for your time,
Chrisanne”

It's times like this that we are reminded what this sport is truly about!
Our very own Kylee, went to Devon to receive her Champion Hiltop Trophy and chose horsemanship first knowing it was in her horses best intrest to stay home due to her still being new to the showing environment. That is when the equine community came together.
We can't give enough thanks Maire Guggenheim, Carole Laulis & Thorncroft Equestrian Center for doing all the behind the scenes, Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Academy for generously lending their amazing unicorn, Molly who so deservingly earned herself 2024 Therapy Horse of the year, and Special Equestrians for equipping her with tack to compete.
The cherry on top was that Kylee rode her heart out to be crowed the Grand Champion of the Therapeutic Riding Division of the Devon Horse Show🎉
None of that would have been possible without everyone's selfless acts of kindness. Congratulations to all, it really is a place "Where Champions meet"!!🩵🤍

Copied and it’s worth reading…

As we enter Horse Show Season
1. Horses don’t get broke at home. Be brave and enter!
2. EVERY disappointment at the show is a learning opportunity..... Be humble, be open to change.
3. Everyone gets nervous. Everyone has bad days. Everyone makes mistakes. Literally: EVERYONE!
4. Don’t watch others in the warmup ring and start changing what you have been doing - if you see something cool or you want to step up your game that’s homework for after the show!
5. When we run out of knowledge, we often punish our horses. Seek help instead.
6. Be a competitor! But be a horseman first. There is always someone watching who sees you as a role model.
7. Supporting your fellow competitors and engaging with people will enrich your show life.
8. Know the rules of competition! Make sure your attire and tack is legal. Read the rule book, ask questions and be well prepared.
9. Have FUN, don’t sweat the small stuff!
