CSDEA Festival & Championship was filled with lots of wonderful memories and times by our riders. The weather was great (even if it did sprinkle a little on Saturday night) and everyone was successful.

Jessie rode Deena Helminiak's Halcyonia Gunsmoke for his first ever freestyle (2nd level) and scored a very respectable 68%. They also showed 2-3 on Saturday and finished with 69.167%, which was good enough for 1st place. For the championship on Sunday they did 1-3 and 2-3 and were Reserve Champion for both of these classes. For his second show this year they did great and we look forward to seeing Hank in the show ring more next year!

Sydney and Jetta took the show by storm! They finished with a Champion and a Reserve Champion and had beautiful rides both days. Congratulations!!

Nora and Halcyonia Black Raven had a great show (and did some bonding as well - see photo) and came away with a 1st place and two other ribbons and had some wonderful rides as well. Congratulations!!

Also pictured is Jessie (Hank) and Leah Peterson (Mojo). Mojo was bred by Jessie and Leah is doing a wonderful job with him and we are super excited to see where they go together.

Hank & Eli (Halcyonia Eli's Song) were old friends from back in the day and spent some time together before the awards ceremony catching up! It's so great to see these ponies doing so great!

We made it to our first show of the year last weekend at the beautiful Otter Creek Farm and had a great time with some really wonderful rides from everyone who showed.

• Josh Solsvig debuted his I1 Freestyle with Lacksette and did not disappoint with a high score of 71.775%. It’s always great to watch these two together and now it’s even more fun with music.

• Deena Helminiak and Halcyonia Gunsmoke (Hank) made their Second Level debut and came away with scores for their bronze medal. So excited to see what the summer has in store for these two.

• Elliana Linn and Tjalke B returned home from college just in time to join us and did not disappoint! Earning themselves 5 blue ribbons and 1 red while showing at Training and First Levels with a high score of 71.667%. We are so excited to have them back with us for the show season!

• Monica Pinkerman and Horseradish recently joined the SGDA family and together they also made their Second Level debut and received the scores needed for their bronze medal and earned themselves 2 blue ribbons over the weekend. Welcome and we look forwarded to a successful show season together.
