Congratulations Amy Zettler and Baymeadow Fantasia, owned by Heather Allison Heider for qualifying for today's finals of the Theodora A. Randolph Field Hunter Championship in the gorgeous Mellon country of the Piemont Foxhounds. F***y is by Idlehour Lions Share and out of Idlehour Mzuri Sana, ex Ramblers Renown. Best of luck today!

This 3/4 CB mare was also Champion of the Cleveland Bay Division at Upperville this year, and overall Reserve Champion of the Mid-Atlantic Cleveland Bay Show Series. Fitting that she qualified at Piedmont - both this hunt and the Uppercille C**t & Horse Show were founded by Col. Richard Dulany.

Congratulations also to Sarah Kirk for participating in the TAR championship week with Bellavista Chancellor. Although the duo was not picked for the finals, Sarah reported that 3 Piedmont members offered to buy him after seeing him yesterday. That's a great endorsement!

Note this may affect start time for our classes!

It's been a heck of a dry summer and we all prayed for rain. But not for our Miller Toyota/Warrenton Toyota $5000 Hunter Classic. It's being rescheduled to tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM. Hunt and Go format.
This is one of our most iconic classes. So rise and shine, grab a coffee and come out and support this special class. We are strong.
