Sterling Hill Stables had an amazing weekend spent with barn family and friends at the GAIG Region 8 Championships! Riders Paige Dolon, Sophie Rutherford, Emelia Lewis and Sara Essig represented Sterling Hill so well and we are incredibly proud of each of them for their accomishments over the weekend! With some huge classes and tough competition, these girls held their own!
Paige was 6th in AA training level championship with a 70.4% out of 43 riders
Sophie was 4th in 2nd level and 3rd in 3rd level championships and 1st in DSE 14-18 Semi Finals with an 85%
Emelia was 5th in 1st level and 8th in training level championships out of 31 riders on her just 5 yo PRE
This was Sara and Kid's first trip to regionals and they finished 13th out of 31 at training level with their best test of the weekend

I'm so proud of these girls, their horsemanship (they do ALL the work, braiding, tacking, packing etc of their own horses) and their love of their horse and their teammates! On to US Dressage Finals!!

Thank you so much to all those who helped us get here and be out best
Thank you to our sponsors
The Distinguished Rider
Comfort Fit Equine
Thank you to wonderful parents who make these trips so fun!
Thank you to those at home keeping things running smoothly
We couldn't do it without ALL of you!!
