Hart & Horse had an amazing weekend at the H&H Show! Thank you to all the organizers for a great weekend! Weekend Recap I:

A last minute horse switch (decided two days prior) resulted in Alexis showing Devil with only a couple rides beforehand, and wow did they astonish us with their natural partnership! They won champion of the future jumper division, TB high point for the show and 4th in the jumper derby!

Sophia and Roman competed in the .95 division this weekend and received reserve champion and also second place in the $500 jumper derby!

Tiffannie and Sharpie competed in the adult crossrails and won both of their flat classes! They ended up reserve champion of the division!

Elise took Finn in the adult crossrails for her first non-IHSA show! Finn has been her steady companion for almost four years now so it was perfect that he got to be with her for this special time! She took home a first place over fences and a couple seconds and thirds as well!

This weekend was the first time that Julie showed Cece and they had lots of fun and great results! They won champion of the adult crossrail division due to her smooth course navigation!

It’s been hectic; posts were missed. A couple weeks ago we went to a Neigh Show and had so much fun! Boo helped Jillian navigate her first (non leadline) show and they placed very well! Claire Blunk & George had several lovely rounds in the 2ft hunters and Eq! KitKat & Grey, Sharpie & Erin, Sophia & Roman and Reece & Charm all had a great time in the jumpers! Thanks Maggie and team for hosting a great show!

Thank you Chris Kappler for another amazing clinic weekend! Many thanks to and for organizing!

Another IEA Banquet in the books, and they keep getting better and better! Thank you Mallory and Jenny for organizing a wonderful event to celebrate our team!
