A whirlwind couple of days between 2 horse shows during a hurricane 🌀

We spent Thursday and Friday down at Lexington National with Lila Trent and her “Caption”. The pair finished 10th in the VFC 2’9/3’ Derby. Lila qualified for her first Medal Finals her first year doing 3’ on a horse. She put in a great round at 10pm Friday night for a 78 and just bumped out of the ribbons by the last horse in the VHSA/EMO Children’s Medal Finals. I was so happy with how she handled the pressure and at such a late hour as well!

Saturday morning we rushed back bright and early to attend the League show at HITS Culpeper! 🌶️
🏆Mary Ficklin and Chrissy Clark’s “Wyatt’s Joy” claimed the 2’3 Pro Schooling Hunter Reserve Champion
🥉🥉”Quinta SE” and Stephanie Wilkinson had their second big adventure earning a pair of 3rds in the Novice Child/Adult Jumpers
🏅Becky Smith and her “Flare” earned top ribbons in the Thoroughbred Hunters

Congratulations to all on a successful few days! 👏🏽

Two months in with the youngster, Reservation. This weekend he competed in his first show! First time over a whole course of fences and he could not have been more perfect. Yes, he was a little late on a change but let’s face it paying full attention for 3 whole minutes at a venue like this is hard 🦄🥰😍

🦄🦄🦄

Lila Trent and “Perfect Peace What a Blessing” on their way to an 84 to clench the Regional Pony Hunter Finals win at Washington International 🏆🎉💙

☀️💫 Resy and Astro having a little jump school fun over the new course on this beautiful day 💫☀️

Young horses are so rewarding 🤩 I love watching the magic unfold. The beginning of this video is this 4 year olds first ride with us August 22 (long sleeve shirt) followed by his videos from today (short sleeve shirt). The relaxation in his top line is starting to really show more and more and he is just so adorable 🥰 Peep his first jumps today too! But my favorite might be the excitement in his owners voice watching him go this morning 😍

Georgia Weidman and “Tarantino” jumping to a 🥇1st place🥇 in the Low Adults with a first round classic score of 87.75! They went on to be division Champion and won the Low Adult Classic out of 25 entries!

Lila Trent and “Perfect Peace What a Blessing” jumping to 🥈2nd place🥈 in the Large Children’s Pony at Loudoun Benefit Horse Show. The pair ended up Reserve Champion of the division and Second in the combined Children’s Pony Classic.

Amy Lewis and her own “Tarantino” got in beautiful trips before the show shut down in the Local Owners 3’. 3rd and 5th out of 30 competitive entries. Well done!

This boy was perfection yesterday 😍 never mind that rider error at the red oxer #theonetimeineededleftrein 🙈

✨COMING SOON✨ Hamilton. 2013 Thoroughbred Gelding Won’t want to miss this one, details coming soon 😍

Trainer, Mary Ficklin.

Mary Ficklin was born in the true horse country of Fauquier County, Virginia. Growing up in Delaplane, Mary's love for horses started at a very young age. At age 5, she began her love for riding at Madcap Farm. Very soon weekly lessons turned into leasing ponies and everyday trips to the barn. Around age 10, Mary started showing on the local VHSA hunter/jumper circuit and eventually broadening into the A circuit hunters.

In 2008, Mary bought her first investment horse, Sebastian. Sebastian was one of a kind and ended up not being for sale as planned. Mary competed Sebastian and many other horses very successfully in the local and A rated Children's hunters, Medals, and Equitation as a junior rider. She has many year end awards including high point rider, high point trainer, and several high point division awards. Since 2014, Mary is an Equine Veterinary Technician at the Piedmont Equine Practice in The Plains, Virginia.
