| Best Daddy's Helper Award goes to Camilla! |
Abby Brauer and Frost were champion in the Baby Green Hunter, Mackenzie Boyer and Huck were champion in the Low Adult Hunter, Maren Nordhoy and Pete were champion in the Low Children's Hunter and Bugsy in the Novice Hunter. Hannah Fisher was champion in the Children's Hunter and won the Children's Medal, securing Hannah as Best Child Rider on a Horse, and Kendal Thomas was reserve champion in the Short Stirrup Eq and Hunter divisions on Rocket Man. Despite the rain, it was a great weekend and everyone pulled together as a team to make the hectic schedule work. All the kids rode very well & we're proud of their efforts. Many thanks to Deb and Pat Patterson for bringing sandwiches and drinks for everyone on Sunday!
We've had a bit of entertainment back at the barn as well! Resident barn dad, Ed Conway, recently made a bet with his daughter Bella that he would be able to post in his very first riding lesson. Bella, as well as some other young ladies in the barn, assured him that it couldn't be done, so Ed stepped up to the plate to challenge her.
Karen Pollack was kind enough to lend us her horse Abs for Ed's first lesson. Ed had quite an audience for the event, complete with a videographer (Stephanie) and wine and cheese for the adults (provided by Rick). We're proud to share that Ed did a great job, and indeed managed to post by the end of the lesson! We love that Ed is willing to try new things and push himself to set a good example for Bella! What a great life lesson.
Ed tells Linda, "Bring on 3'6!". Maybe not yet, but perhaps Daddy Leadline at Ludwig's 2013 could be on the horizon?
