🐴Nine has been riding at RHS for 6 months now
👯‍♀️ Her two equine partners are Chips and Jelly who she’s owned for 1.5 years and 4 months respectively. 🦄Chips is a 12 year old Oldenburger and Jelly is a 6 year old Welsh pony.
🏆On the show circuit, Chips is known as Mtm Serendipity and Jelly goes by Liberty Blue.

⭐️Sunday student spotlight: Maddie Pape! ⭐️

Learn more about Maddie:
🏇She has been riding at RHS for almost 17 years (And started when she was only 5!)
🐴She has two horses: Luca (3 years old, turning 4 soon) and Maui (10 years old and turning 11 on Maddie’s 22nd birthday in May)
⭐️Her goals this year are to have fun with both of her horses in and out of the show ring and she’s excited to see how much Luca grows as she brings him along
🤓A fun fact about Maddie is that between her and her mom, they have had 10 horses and most of them are still at the barn or at hoof and paw. Maddie is excited that this year she gets to share Maui with her mom after years of her mom sharing her horses with her!
