Part 2 of the V Spurs gymkhana recap! Here is all of our prize winners from the day.

Bella and her horse Mocha had an awesome day placing them 4th overall in FC 15 and under earning themselves a lead rope. They even got through hurry scurry like a pro! Great job 👏

Miya rode Max the lesson horse. Max is a big step up from LeeRoy, but Miya handled it well! They placed 4th overall in the A division for 15 and under. They also got to pick out a lead rope. Way to go Miya and Max!

Guess and I ended up placing 4th in FC 16 and older as well earning a lead rope. Guess had some ups and downs, but she pulled through in the end 🖤

Gabbi and Mak the lesson horse received a salt block for placing 3rd overall in FC 15 and under. They also had the smoothest hurry scurry run out of our group. Great job!

Sophia stepped up from Annie the lesson horse to LeeRoy the lesson pony at this show. They did amazing placing 2nd overall for FC 15 and under earning a bottle of liniment. Way to ride Sophia! LeeRoy isn’t the easiest, but you got the job done and got it done well!

Hannah rode her horse Goof to win a bottle of liniment for 2nd overall in A 15 and under. Good job Hannah! Goof has come such a long way. You’re doing a great job with him!

And last, but not least, our biggest winner of the day! Alicia rode her horse Lady to win FC 16 and older. They received some nice reins for all their hard work. Alicia’s goal was to help Lady slow down and get more rideable through the patterns for when our other riders need a backup. They certainly accomplished that goal and beat everyone else while they were at it 😂😂 Great job!

Huge thank you to all the volunteers that run this amazing gymkhana club. Thank you to all the friends and family members of our riders that support them in every way possible. You guys are truly appreciated 🖤

We had so much fun at the two day gymkhana in Warner Springs! Like last time I’m going to do our gymkhana recap in two posts.

Reagan rode Max in AA winning 4th overall for the weekend. They also won some jackpot money 💰 Great job!

Gabbi rode Mak the lesson horse. They did amazing improving so much from the last gymkhana!

Sophia had a horse swap to Annie this gymkhana. They did so great. You’d never know it was there first event together. Good job girls!

Reagan rode her horse Farley winning 5th overall in her division. That got them a really nice saddle cover.

Hunter rode her horse Leroo. They took it nice and easy focusing on getting Leroo the practice hauling and staying overnight. She handled everything very well!

Molly rode her baby horse Hank the first day. They did really well taking it nice and easy. The overnight stay ended up being too much for Hank stress wise so they scratched the next day. Good job Molly on making that call.

Beth rode her horse Belle in their second competition ever. They did so amazing! Good job for sticking out that crow hop session the first day, first event too Beth!

Cynthia rode the Peppy horse winning some money in the jackpot. Good job Cynthia!

Colbie rode her horse Snickers. They did so amazing! We had a couple pattern malfunctions, but that’s okay. Pretty soon they’ll have all those patterns down easy peasy!

Katelyn rode Scooter. They really kicked it up a knotch this weekend. There were some ups and downs that come with the speed change, but overall they did so amazing. Good job being brave!

Karly rode the Sugar horse. They learned a lot this time around. Good job Karly for sticking it out and learning a new style of horse. That isn’t easy to do!

Julia rode Mareica in her second competition ever! You’d never know she started riding less than a year ago. Great work this weekend.

Kailey rode Surprise. This was their first competition as a team. They did so great and learned a lot about one another. I’m excited for the rest of their gymkhana season!

Thank you to all the volunteers that make these events happen! Thank you parents for supporting your kids in this sport they love!

Another V Spurs gymkhana in the books! This gymkhana we had 14 horses and 15 riders attend, 12 of those teams competed.

Jazzy rode her horse Zach. They had some great moments showing amazing improvement. Now they just need to put it all together.

Bella rode her new horse Mocha in their first ever event together. They did awesome! I can’t wait to get these two out more.

Brixton rode Max the lesson horse. These two had some great highlights throughout the day. They have improved greatly throughout this season.

Reagan rode the Ed horse. They were super consistent all day winning them an all around prize.

Colbie rode the Snickers horse in leadline. They did awesome, but I think it’s safe to say she is ready to be set free to ride on her own.

Tyler & LeeRoy also tagged along to support the crew. It was so much fun having Tyler back with the girls again.

Molly rode her horse Zoe. They did super as always winning them an all around prize. To top it all of they received the custom belt buckle they won at a previous gymkhana. Congratulations Molly & Zoe!

Capri rode her horse Surprise. They competed in the A division for the first time after moving up. They were against some pretty tough competition, but held their own!

Katelyn rode Snickers the lesson horse. They did awesome and even got some speed in a few events.

Hannah rode Mareica in some time onlies. Mareica did awesome. We are hoping to utilize her more in the future.

Olivia rode Crunch. They had some ups and downs that come with not being very experienced in the gymkhana world, but handled everything beautifully and had some great moments in between.

Hunter rode Guess in her second gymkhana ever. They had a lot of baby moments, but got a good experience overall.

I rode the Dottie horse. She did amazing! We added the tiniest bit of speed and she handled it all greatly. I’m so excited to see what the future holds.

Overall we had several riders get all around prizes and had big accomplishments throughout the day. Thank you to all the volunteers and parents who make this possible!
