Folly Results

06/20/2009 09:37 PM
Today's Outdoor Folly show, held entirely indoors because of all of the recent rain, turned out to be a lot of fun and we had some great successes. Marty and her horse Bremie competed in the Adult Modifieds at their first show together and had a blast. Solid performances over fences and on the flat earned them their first ribbons including a fourth in a competitive equitation on the flat! Way to go Marty. LeAnne and Hank paired up for their first show together and took home three firsts, including an Equitation over fences, CHSA Medal and Modified Hunter flat! Of course they won other ribbons too. Great first show guys. Marlene and Jasmine participated in their fourth show in as many weeks, and Jasmine is back in her hunter chill. The pair earned placings in both the Modified Eq over fences, CHSA Medal and Modified Hunter over fences. Grace and Reilly toughed out a very long wait before competing in the Prechildren's over fences classes. Reilly behaved wonderfullly, congratulations Grace for a good show.

Two short stirrup pairs under the guidance of Bonnie also had a great show. Congratulations Melissa and Louie for their first place Equitation Flat and overall Reserve Champion in the Short Stirrup Eq! A great day. Ally and Serene came up with the Blue (Again) in the Short Stirrup Hunter Flat, and had very, very nice over fences rounds. You go girls!

Toby Champion Guard show
Congratulations

to all the Valkyrie horses and riders for their performances at last weekend's 1st Governor's Horse Guard show in Avon. Ten pairs of equestrians and mounts braved the wet grounds in what turned out to be a beautiful day. The new sand ring at the show withstood the previous night's (and week's) rainy weather with the help of an army of workers who spent the early hours of the morning clearing, sweeping, and draining the ring until it was in very good shape. A big BRAVO to both Pat and Rosemary for participating in their very first show and performing very nicely indeed. Renee with Lil in the Modified Adults at her first show of the year and all six of the short-stirrup kids did amazingly well, congratulations. Of course all participants really enjoyed the support and cheering of the Valkyrie friends and family who rallied around every performance, thank you.
