Classic Oaks at Ludwigs Corner

Well it was a very hot and long day (again!) but a wonderfully fun day as well at Ludwigs Corner this past Sunday. Our horses and riders were stellar! We came home with more than a few tri-colors and lots of ribbons. Every division was packed full of competitors and we are so proud of our Banbury Cross riders and horses.

Nina and George had some of the best trips of their lives and placed well in the Pleasure Horse and Novice Hunter jumping classes!

Samantha and Slater were great and are learning a lot as a new team at Banbury Cross! Marybeth overcame her fears and rode Ben beautifully winning ribbons in the Novice Equitation.

Gabby and Rosie rocked (again) winning Champion in the Novice Equitation and Reserve Champion in the 13 and Under Equitation! We love this pair!

Brita and Bob had stellar rounds in the Low Hunter Division after not much practice at all... we love Brita's "go and do it" attitude!

Kate rode Johnny beautifully in the TB Hunter Division. These two look beautiful together!

Hanna had decided previous to showing that she was going to win the tack trunk for Grand Junior Horse Champion and by golly, she did! Her and Smitty were Champion in both the 14-17 Equitation and the Children's Hunter Horse.

Despite it being past Christopher's dinner time, he performed beautifully for Kaley in the Adults winning Reserve Champion. If he hadn't had that one rail down, they would have been Champion for sure! Oh well!

Halaine and Guy and Carter and Lexie came to school and were fabulous as well.
Even Morm, Ainsley and Eva came to visit our later riders!

Congratulations to ALL of our riders at this horse show. We are proud of each and every one of you! Thank you for a fun day! There are more pictures on our facebook page so check it out!

Brass Ring at Devon

We had a long and hot, but very fun day at the Brass Ring Horse Show at Devon yesterday! We took some fun pictures of our first few riders but as the day went on we got too busy and ran out of photographers!

Kayla and Tucker showed in the PreChildren's Division and looked beautiful as they got ribbons out of 30 something horses! Here they are over a jump and after showing.

Our Modified ladies (Barbara, Kathy and Lynda) looked great as they cruised around in the Gold Ring! Here's a picture of them waiting to show!

This was Tommy's first show in a while and Shelby rode him great in the Dixon Oval in the Lows. Gabby and Rosie looked amazing together as they cruised around in both the 13 and under and PreChildren's Pony divisions! They are so great together!!! And Guy was perfectly behaved in the Professional Division with Casey aboard!

Even Baby Eva behaved perfectly all day long at the horse show! She owes her grandmother some gas money since she napped in the air conditioned truck for 3 hours!

Thank you to everyone who helped take care of our perfect horse show baby! It's a team sport at Banbury Cross and everyone showed that yesterday! Thank you to everyone who helped including Cassandra, Carter and Barbara R too! And Denise of course who did the early shift and then went home to the farm for the day! We all know that we couldn't do this without the help of our amazing behind the scenes staff who were up very early bathing horses!

Springtree Photography was taking pictures at the show so check out the pictures on their site too... www.springtreephotography.com
