It's Halloween-eve but we've been celebrating for a while now! 🎃 Thanks for showing with us last weekend! Let us know in the comments - what was your costume and if you rode in a derby- what song did you ride to? 🎶

It’s that time of the year again. Time to award the Toltec Horse of a Lifetime award. This is presented to the Grand Hunter Champion of the year, the horse or pony that has earned the highest total number of points across all the hunter divisions.

We would like to congratulate Annie B Good - our 2024 recipient of this special award! She was ridden to the win by professional rider Maddie Ma for her owner Tracie Caravello. They are members of the Triton Stables team led by Shep Welles and Megan Ward.

I have also included a picture of Toltec and his owner Vicki Nowell Autry for those that didn’t know him. Truly the Horse of a Lifetime.

CONGRATULATIONS!

🎃👻It's almost time to wrap up an eerie-sistible season with our year-end points and awards at the Sedgefield at the Park Haunted Classic! 🏆✨ We’ve made a spooky change this year, and it’s all published on our website as well:

Sunday, October 27 classes will NOT count towards Sedgefield year end points. All year end standings will be decided based on points starting December 2023 through Saturday, October 26, 2024. This will enable us to be much more efficient presenting awards on Sunday. Thank you for understanding!
*Sunday points will still count for NCHJA Year end awards.*

https://sedgefieldatthepark.com/points/

🕷️ Check your points carefully and let us know if you spot any gremlins or mistakes! 🧐🔍

🦇 If you have one of our trophies 🏆 from last year, please have it engraved and return it by Friday, October 25. Check out the updates and be ready for the big show! 🎃

The Sedgefield family was so sad to hear the news this past weekend that a true legend has moved on to greener pastures. I don’t keep stats on this, but if I did I am certain that Rascal Flatts would own the title of having won the most year end awards in Sedgefield history. And in most cases he had a different rider every year but continued to teach like a true master. Rest easy sweet boy.

This is still one of my favorite pictures of him at the Sedgefield year end show where he always shined. ❤️💔

We send our condolences to all the lives he touched.
