Great Horse Show Season!

A belated congratulations to all those who participated in horse shows this year. Just one more BISC schooling show to go!

We had a great week in Canada at Thunderbird. Everyone had success and won ribbons. Congrats to Isabella King and Dare to Dream on their reserve championship! Addie Carion had a fantastic learning experience on Cloud 9. Malena Delgado and My Turn had some gorgeous rounds. Emily Hoskins and Corduroy were very competitive in their second showing in the medium ponies. Laura Ward and Charlottes Web had a lot of fun in the A/A division. Harriette Thomas and Dixie Mae got better with each round in their first big rated show.

We recently returned from the Octoberfest show in Auburn with a group of first time horse show-ers. Haven Low and Dare to Dream came away with a reserve champion in the short stirrup ponies. Cedar Williams and Acapella had a great time in the short stirrup ring, and Elise Ran and Cloud 9 learned a lot about horse shows! Thank you to the students for being such good help and we look forward to next year!
