Monster Mash 2022 was wildly successful again, and we can’t thank for another amazing show! This past weekend really took a Villiage, and I can’t thank enough for stepping in to help us, and making the weekend so successful!

Gabby took home her first Reserve Championship on her own “Espresso Yourself”, Rome and MTM Eisenhower were reserve champ in the very competitive Low Ch, Louisa & MTM So Fly took home another championship in the combined Medium/Larges, and the rest of the group all had amazing rounds/ribbons and even better costumes and rocked our barn set up 😜

Thank you for being the back bone of our program. We couldn’t do it with out you!

Thank you to our home team and for holding down the fort!

And Thank you for keeping us looking our best, & for keeping us feeling our best, and for helping us look super snazzy at all times!

We had so much fun at Pony Finals 2022! I am so stinking proud of my girls at their first PF! They rode amazing & couldn’t have asked more from our ponies!

Thank you to our entire team who made this possible! our farriers and chiropractors, our cheerleaders and of course parents & for the lease on Cartwheel Piper! Here’s a run down of the girls perspective!

Rome: Cartwheel Piper and I had such a fun and educational time in the medium greens at this years It was so beautiful and there and the weather was super awesome. First we had lots of fun modeling on Thursday morning. We were in section 1 so we had to wake up very early to get ready. Piper stood beautifully for me, looking off into the stands and standing very cute! I got really nice scores including an 82.94! Afterwards we got tacked up and warmed up for our under saddle. Piper moved cute, (per usual) halted really nicely and stood quietly. The next day we did our over fences. I’m really proud of all that Piper and I accomplished at our first pony finals.

Louisa: MTM So Fly and I had lots of fun in the medium regulars at this years Pony finals! First we got to do the model clinic at the beginning of the week. It was definitely worth standing in line for an hour, but luckily, we got in early before the line got really long. On Friday, we competed in our model. We were in section 10 so I got to watch some before I went in. I got 6th in my section and nice scores overall. After we did that we got our saddle on and warmed up for my flat. My flat went lovely and I got scores in the eighties. The next day we did our over fences and that was also really great. Overall I had a great first experience at Pony Finals.

We wanted thank Bibby Farmer Hill for being apart of this adventure, And Thank you to our trainer Christine Rishell for once again letting us blossom and taking us to these wonderful places to compete with all of these great ponies and talented riders.

I could not be prouder of my girls! They cleaned house in some very large and competitive field of rider!

Rome- Me and Cartwheel Piper did really well in our first time in the medium greens at WEC Ocala. We learned a lot about each other this show. I learned that I need to be stronger and that it’s ok to be tough. I learned a lot about Piper too! She is a very friendly pony and wants to be friends with everyone. Piper helped me work on my position and staying down over the jumps and she is going to be a great project! I can’t wait to turn her into the perfect pony! We may not have placed the top of our class in Ocala but we learned a lot and are ready to face the medium greens at this years upcoming pony finals!

Louisa- Me and MTM So Fly did great this show! We got one champion in the medium regulars on the first weekend. We got fourth in the pony derby the first and second weekend. We got a second in the classic as well. We did great and are ready to dominate the medium regulars at this years pony finals! Then with Brookfield I was reserve the first weekend in the intermediate children’s hunters. We also won the classic! The second weekend we were champion in the intermediate children’s equitation.

Sabrina- Me and MTM Goodnight Moon had great placings in the competitive short stirrup division the first weekend including a ninth in the classic! Then the second weekend we got champion in the equitation then reserve in the short stirrups. We also got an eighth in the classic! We did really well and are exited to go to our next show!

Week one in Colorado was a success! Baby Steel is coming along so well, winning his 1.15 today and moving onto the 1.20 next week. Every one of our girls brought home a blue, Kelly won champion in the 3'3" greens, Kai in the Low/Adults, Mia, Ashley, and Ella took home Reserve in the Older children's, younger children's, and medium ponies. Three horses made it back for the handy out of 55 in the 5k National Derby with impressive scores, Kai won the A/A classic, Mia took home a second in the Children's Classic, amongst many more highlights. To say it take a village is an understatement, and I am so so so thankful for the love and support from everyone that it has taken to get us here.
