Oaks Blenheim Summer Classic Week 1 Aug. 6-10

What an amazing week!

Once again Stephanie and her Asterix 311 were Champions in the Children's Jumpers with 2 wins! And again taking 3rd in the Children's Jumper Classic. They also took a spin around the Eq ring for a little fun & stayed in the ribbons! Way to go Stef!!

Roxanne and her Twenty Twenty attended their second AA rated show. They toured around the Long Stirrup and moved up to the Green Rider Hunter division. Pinning extremely well the entire weekend Roxanne managed to take home Reserve Champion in both divisions!! Wow!

Atreyu schooled around the 1.35 ring with great success and clean rounds.

Littorio and Angelina toured the 1.00M jumper divisions. With a rough start in the week Angeline changed leaps and bounds by the weekend and showed she is going to make it to the top of the sport. We are very excited about next week!

Showpark Aug. Festival 7/30-8/3/08

Asterix 311 and Stephanie Meyer were Champions in the Children's Jumpers with a 1st, and 2nds. Stephanie & Asterix also took 3rd in the very competive Ch/AA Jumper Classic.

Atreyu ribboned in all of his classes and also moved up the 1.40 proving once again that we have yet to tap into this young horses scope. Thank you to Everardo Hegewisch for putting in the great rides at the show.


7/18/08

It has been a while since I have up-dated the show news. We have been to a few horse shows since the last up-date including The Oaks & The Santa Barbara National Show.

Congratulations to the Kozlowski's on their Atreyu taking 2nd in the Channel Island Level 7 Jumper Classic out of a field of 14. This was Atreyu's second time jumping level 7 and he was one of 3 to make into the jump off! Thank you Everardo for riding him to this great success.

Rich Devin attended his first out of state show with his new Jurassic Park. He accomplished all of the goals we set for the horse show, two which including pinning in the very large 1.00M division, as well as going double clear. We can't wait to go do it again and tackle more goals!

Stephanie Meyer was Reserve Champion Children's Jumpers at The Oaks in June, pinned in all her classes at SB & was 5th in the classic. She also rode Rich Devin's Jurrasic Park to ribbons in the 3'3" classes over the weekend.

Angelina Kozlowski was 9th in the Low Ch/AA Jumper Classic. This was her first classic. Great job!

Naturally the Best showed with Stephanie Meyer and Everardo Hegewisch in the 2'- 2'3" hunters at his first ever out of state show. For being 4 years old he handled everything with class. Even the flags blowing along the arena side, right in his face!

Those are the highlights of the June & July shows so far. Aug. brings up 3 weeks in beautiful Southern California. We look forward to escaping the heat.




Show Park June Jamboree & SP County 3

 
Denise spent 1 1/2 weeks in Del Mar after the LAEC show. The first weekend was spent with Angelina's "Atreyu" & Sarah Velliux's "So Good" at Denise's trainer Everardo's barn. On top of doing lots of riding & giving lessons, Angelina's "Atreyu" competed at the county show that Sunday in the 4' Open jumpers bringing home a 2nd & 6th.

Staying on for the next week's show The June Jamboree, Denise was joined by Angelina, Diane, & Stephanie along with the rest of their horses. We had an amazing show.

The horses and riders all performed at their best, and it shows in the prizes. Congratulations to Diane Vogelzang for bringing home great ribbons & Reserve Champion in the Long Stirrup Hunters on Tres Jolie.

Angelina Kozlowski & her Littorio were Champions of the Low AA jumpers at only their second show!!

Stephanie Meyer & her Asterix 311 won all three of their Children's Jumper rounds bringing home the Championship as well as taking 3rd in the Ch/AA classic.

Everardo Hegewisch rode Angelina's young horse Atreyu in the 1.20M on Wednesday with the win out of 22, then moving up to 1.30M for the first time where he went double clear bringing home 6th, as well as going double clear in the rest of the 1.30M classes with ribbons, proving he has what it takes to be an amazing top horse.

Congratulations again to all the riders & horses.

Well HEF riders do it again...

Lauren and Social Affair were Champions Short Stirrup Equitation, and ribboned extremely well in the Mini Equitation with a win over fences.

Roxanne Tracy and her Twenty Twenty ribboned very very well in both the Mini Equitation and Long Stirrup. Having moved up from walk trot to jumping up to 2'3" we are all impressed with her success.

Ashley also rode Roxanne's Twenty Twenty in the Open Hunters taking reserve Champion! Yet more great riding Ashley. Thanks.

Delani Denton and her Class Act were Champions in both Long stirrup Equitation & Long Stirrup Hunters!!! Also pinning high in the competitive Restricted Riders division

Rich Devin and his Jurassic Park rode in the Low Jumpers putting in some really good schooling miles. Having only been together just 3 weeks, it is impressive how well they have bonded!

Alyssa Everett and her Simply Irrisistible finished off the team to beat as Champions in the Restricted Riders winning 3 out of her 4 classes, and Champions in the Modified Hunters with two blues and two reds. Wow!

Tonya Torgerson and her Hey Sailor attended their very first horse show. They entered the walk-trot division finishing with a first, fourth and seventh. Tonya and Sailor have come a long way in the past months and we look forward to more greatness! Congrats on your very first horse show Tonya.

Thank you to Stephanie Meyer for riding Robert & Denise's just now 4 year old Naturally The Best in the Baby Greens & Modifieds. "Tommy" placed in a nice class of horses on Friday with two thirds in the babies, and a fourth on the flat in the Modifieds. This was Tommy's first time really showing, and first time showing 2'6". He was amazing. Looking forward to a great year watching him grow up.

Thank you to Danielle Scarano for riding HEF's "Captain Underpants" in the crossrails horse division on Sunday. They put in some great rounds. It is a lot of fun to see him growing and learning. He is already a great asset to our lesson program, but we are very excited he is going to be such a fancy and well trained show pony as well. Thanks Danielle!
