Wow is the first thing that comes to mind now that I’ve slept and can reflect on the awesome weekend we had at IEA Zone 11 Finals! The high school team finished in 4th place, just missing the bid to nationals by 2 points!!

Kaitlyn Moyer was 1st in the intermediate flat, 2nd in the intermediate fences, and fifth in the intermediate team flat. Katie was the high school high point rider and will be competing in both flat and fences at Nationals!

Mariah Gallo had great rides in the open flat and team open fences!

Poppy Kinsman was 4th in the open flat, 3rd in the open team flat, and won the intermediate team fences with a perfect round on our old friend, Casper!

Kayden LaBarre was 3rd in the novice team fences and put in a beautiful ride in the novice team flat!

Ian Wallace put in a stellar ride in the novice flat for the win and punched his ticket to nationals!

Monica Proud was 6th in the WTC and represented the team in that class as well!

Addison Vasta rode a lovely trip over fences in the future novice against very tough competition!

Baby G and Solomon came to play and I was so impressed with their ability to switch between so many different riders every day. Our team worked together to take care of these guys down there and make sure everything ran smoothly and were happy to step into any job that needed to be taken care of!

Thank you’s don’t seem like enough for all the horse providers that make such a big zone finals possible, and well as the wonderful ladies who ran the show, doing the utmost of thankless jobs.

Nationals here we come!!! 💙🖤
