What a debut for Margaux and Orange in the Short Stirrup Division at the GOHJA Show! 🎉🐴

They earned:
🏆 Grand Champion – Short Stirrup Equitation
🏆 Reserve Champion – Short Stirrup Hunter Division

But the day didn’t start the way we hoped.

During her training round, Orange refused the first fence and Margaux received her very first excusal from the ring. The jump had standing water in front of it, creating a reflection that looked very spooky to the ponies. The muddy footing only made it more intimidating. In fact, several ponies in the division refused the same fence.

That’s when Margaux’s dad, Matt, stepped in and came to the rescue with a rake and helped level the footing and remove the standing water. Once the jump looked safer, the ponies began jumping it without issue.

What I’m most proud of isn’t the ribbons.

It’s that Margaux didn’t let that first setback define her day. She got back on, stayed determined, worked through the problem with Orange, and went on to complete her courses successfully.

Today was a reminder that champions aren’t defined by how they start. They’re defined by how they respond when things don’t go according to plan.

Congratulations Margaux and Orange! Your hard work, perseverance, and partnership paid off in a big way. 💙💛❤️

Both Margaux and Audrey are officially in “boot camp” for their training for the 4 H State Horse Show in July ! They’ve been riding with no stirrups as part of each lesson and also working on developing a better connection with their horses. They both have come such a long way and their core and balance are continuing to get stronger .

✨ Some partnerships in the saddle never really fade… they just pick right back up where they left off. ✨

After taking a few years away from riding, Kriya Naidu is BACK in the saddle at Marquee Equestrian — and it feels like she never left. 🐴🤍

For over 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of watching Kriya grow not only as a rider, but as a person. Seeing her return to the barn, reconnect with the horses, and find that passion again has been incredibly special.

The confidence, dedication, and heart are all still there… and this is only the beginning of her comeback story. 🔥

Once a horse girl… always a horse girl. 💫

Welcome home, Kriya. We’re so excited to have you back riding with the Marquee family! 🖤

✨ May the horse be with you ✨ 🐎🌟

Not all heroes wear capes… some wear helmets and ride with heart 💫

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Margaux & Audrey for their incredible wins at the 2026 Area East 4H Show 🏆🎉

From early mornings to hard work in the saddle — this is what dedication looks like 👏🔥
Those ribbons aren’t just wins… they’re earned 💙❤️💛
