Owl Ridge Farm

Owl Ridge riders were busy this month with two very successful weeks at Swan Lake!

R River Star double clear and 2nd this morning in the $25,000 Grand Prix at Swan Lake Stables. So many thanks to Courtney Cooper for this divine animal. I couldn’t love him more. 🦄❤️🥇

The first month in Ocala was a great success for the Owl Ridge Team in all 3 rings including:

🥇 Young Jumper Tindetta Van Het Eelshof was Reserve Champion in the 1.15m Jumper

🥇Courtney Cooper’s R River Star earned top placings out of a big group in the open 1.30 with Shana Altschuler

🥇 Dakota Coughlan took on the jumper ring for the first time with Valegro DH Z winning the power and speed and ending up 3rd in the Classic

🥇 Raychel Carey’s Cadillac was 4th in his first 1.10 with Abby Johnston

🥇 Young Hunters Timson van HD and Nero Subine E.B successfully moved up to the 3’ hunters
