Ryals and Tango 2 wrapped up our memorable week at Louisville last Saturday morning by coming out Top 3 in the 13 & Under Junior Exhibitor Pleasure Championship! My heart was flying above Stopher Walk!
Thank you to everyone who made our 2024 World’s Championship Horse Show such a great one. Our barn family is AWESOME!❤️

WoodRidge Farm was also very proud to put Miss Vivienne Esper and CH With Bells On into the ring at the World’s Championship Horse Show.
What a special pair they make.💕
Things don’t always go quite as planned, but Vivie gained a lot from her ride and we look forward to what the future holds for this sensational young lady!
There are big things to come for Vivie and Belle. They’re just too good together for it to be any other way.🌟🌟🐴🐴
Let’s go, Hollywood!❤️🤩

From July 2023 to August 2024, look what happened in one year’s time!🤩🌟
Miss Ivy Lynn Thomas competed in Academy last season, and then declared she wanted to show at the World’s Championship Horse Show this year!
The combination of A LOT of hard work, finding her perfect partner, CH Arizona Poppy, and the desire to be the best she could be saw Ivy trot into Freedom Hall last Wednesday and leave with a Top 4 ribbon in the 8 & Under Walk/Trot qualifier! But that's not where the story ends:
Ivy & Poppy came back in their championship and left the World's Championship Horsw Show with a third place ribbon!😃😃 From Academy to rhe Green Shavings, mission accomplished/dream realized.💕

Fifth and final day of Horse Camp 2024 ended with a Scavenger Hunt, a special guest speaker joining us via Face Time from South Africa, a mini judge’s clinic, a horse show on foot vs. hoof, and one last round of Horse Trivia and Musical Buckets! Whew! We packed A LOT into one day!
Thank you, Ellen Beard, for connecting us with Garland Poil and for providing the “harness and bridles” for our horse show!
A HUGE THANK YOU again to all those who helped make Camp a success!

Dr. Cooper from Equine Vet Services visited us today giving lots of horse health information and answering several good questions asked by the kiddos. I was very proud of them!
Then, it wouldn’t be Horse Camp if there weren’t Musical Buckets and Horse Trivia. It gets SERIOUS ya’ll!😂😂

Days one and two were full of riding, games, crafts and traveling like our horses do.🐎😊

UPHA Chapter 5 Horse Show made for a wonderful week in Lake St. Louis for our WoodRidge Farm gang! With a combination of bright debuts, new teams making strong steps forward, and our tried & trues coming out strong it was a mix that made us proud!
Here are the photos to prove it. I’m a firm believer in the adage that a picture is indeed worth a thousand words so please look at them all and “read” what they truly represent.
