PLEASE BE AT THE BARN AT 4 PM. NO LATER OR YOU WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH DAYLIGHT TO RIDE. If I am not there yet, please go catch your own horses and start tacking up. If you are a bigger kid, please help the smaller ones until I get there.

So proud of all my girls this year. Some did not make it into the top 10 of their divisions and that is ok! All kids were awesome and worked hard this season. The overall 2023 results came in this afternoon and are as follows:

SWVHJA End of the year results for Team VF:

Kelsey and Jackson- Champion Low Hunter
Kelsey and Mags- 10th TB award

Jamison and Z- Champion TB award, reserve champion TBs, 8th Adults

Katie and Jackson- Reserve Champion Children’s, 5th Jr Eq
Katie and Finn- 9th Jr Pleasure

Mackenzie and Gadget- Reserve Champion Intermediates

Renee and Winter- 8th TB award

Ana, Kenley, and Kayton all worked really hard and only showed a couple of times. They didn’t end up in the top 10. But that is ok. We have some big goals and things to work towards this winter for next season.

Looking forward to a great 2024!

Y’all. I really can’t say enough good things about our day today. Thank you thank you thank you to parents and friends and kids for being AMAZING at the trailer so I could be at the ring literally all day. I could not do it without you. We condensed 2 show days into 1, hauled 2 trailers with 7 horses, and 8 people showing (myself included). And look at my truck. I seriously could not be more proud. People stepped up to fill divisions, rode great, learned some lessons, and were taking back homework for everyone. Way too many results to remember and post. But some highlights: Mackenzie and Gadget: Reserve Champion in the Intermediates and the Harvest Moon Medal finals. Kenley and Puff: 3rd in the Harvest Moon Medal Finals as well as high score 18” rider in that medal. Jackson and Kelsey: Champion in Low Hunters. Katie and Jackson are qualified for Hunt Seat Medal Finals 2023! And so many blues and ribbons and good times had today with my barn family. And most importantly everyone was in such good spirits for a long hot day AND I FINALLY got a picture with ALL the ribbons and ALL my riders today!! Seriously my squad is the best squad. I missed Mimi today. She would have LOVED these results. This one was for you Mimi! 🩷

We love a quick and successful show day 🤩 Katie and I snuck off to the show to try to get her close to qualified for the medal finals and I decided to show myself since I was there already and I’m sure glad I did. Jackson was a unicorn as always helping me to champion in the 3’ Low Hunters. Katie and jackson had good ribbons in the Combined Childrens and Adult Hunters including a win over fences. The were 3rd in the medal, leaving her 1 point away from qualifying but with plenty of time left in the year to get qualified, and 6th in the Jr. Eq. We love being done before lunch time!
