Cat and Maverick did their first dressage show putting in good intro tests. After just starting him under saddle a few months prior we were happy with the good moments in the test. Looking forward to improving more before the next dressage show! Congratulations on your two first places and for taking the silver medal in your division.
Amy and Claim The Lead competed in Training Level and Aimslee put in two solid tests to take two firsts and gold medal in their division.
It was a fun day and I can‘t wait til the next show! 

what a fun day with a great group of students! So proud Of everyone! Cat and Maverick competed in the walk trot division and placed first in one of the equitation over poles and the equitation under saddle class. she also took home a second place in the other equitation over poles.  They also took champion of their division.So proud of this pair for working so hard to get ready! They just keep getting better and better with every ride!!
Maddie rode Gem and Aimslee in the walk trot division. This was her first show, and she has only been riding for 10 lessons! So proud of her hard work to get ready and she did such a great job with both horses placing in each class and improving with every ride! Congratulations!!!
Amy and Aimslee had some fun with the jumpers and took first in all three classes and took champion If their division. 

Amy and Aimslee competed at a recognized dressage competition taking a bit of a break from eventing. It was Aimslee‘s first recognized dressage competition and she did great. She took 1st in both training level tests and got both qualifying scores needed to go to regional championships. She also competed in first level after very little preparation and she still managed to pull off two qualifying Scores to go to regional championships for that level as well. She also took a 1st and a 2nd. What a fun day! 

What a fantastic day with these amazing ladies. They have been working so hard to prepare. They both started riding not very long ago and I am so impressed with how far they have come. Their hard work has paid off. Robbie got to show for her first time and did a great job improving with every single course. She competed on Gem in the walk/trot over poles and walk trot over xrails. She received some great ribbons placing in all classes and even took a 2nd place in her walk trot equitation over poles and also in a xrails class. Her last xrail class was so beautiful but an unforunate knocking of the rail cost them from top ribbons. But I was so proud of her for a great attitude and am so excited to see her continue to improve and get back out at another show soon! 

Maddie got to attend her second show also competing in the walk/trot poles and walk trot xrails. She rode Rodgers and did a wonderful job making adjustments in her position to make each course smoother and smoother. She stuck with it even during the rough patches and pulled off several firsts and took reserve of the W/T poles and Champion of the W/T xrails. It was so fun to see how much improvement she made from her first show. Huge congrats to both of you! So proud of y'all and am looking forward to many more fun adventures with you wonderful ladies!

What a beautiful and cool morning for a show. Ray and Sully did their first show ever after only being in lessons a couple months. Ray did a wonderful job staying relaxed and taking it slow and steady allowing Sully a fantastic first experience! They improved with every class and even placed in all of their classes! Cat and Maverick did a great job and it was so great to have them back after Maverick had a bit of a vacation while Cat recovered from her broken foot. The cool weather and rain a couple days before not allowing Maverick to be worked leading up to the show made it not the most ideal circumstances but Cat did a great job working with him, staying patient and just enjoying getting more experience with him. They placed well in the walk trot over poles and even pulled off the reserve champion! They even did their first xrails division to end the day on. So proud of Ray and Cat for their dedication of putting their horses needs first as they all continue to gain showing experience. 

Huge congrats to both of you today! 

 It was a great day with several first time dressage riders and horses. So proud of the group watching them handle the tests, learning the basics of how to ride through the geometry and movements without much time to prepare for the show.  Robbie after much hard work got to take her horse to his first show. Robbie and Sombra took first in all their in hand and walk dressage tests plus an overall gold medal for the in hand junior division and overall silver medal for riding dressage test junior division! Cat and Maverick took three 1sts and one 2nd in the walk and walk trot tests and they took the overall gold medal for the adult amateur division. Ray and Sully took a 1st and 2nd in their walk tests and took the overall bronze medal in the adult amateur division! 

So proud of everyone and their hard work!

I was so sad that Robbie was sick and couldn’t join us at the last second. Cat and Maverick improved greatly from the day before putting in their best walk trot tests yet! The pieces are coming together more and more and it sure was fun watching the tests come together today! They took three 1sts and one second place and took overall gold medal of the adult amateur division. Ray and Sully did a fantastic job on their walk test. It was well ridden and relaxed. They even did their first walk trot test together and he kept him trotting the entire time. These two are continuing to grow and have come a long way in a very short time! They took one first and two seconds plus the overall silver medal in the adult amateur division. Congrats on another great show! 

We had a great turnout for the HSS Christmas Fun Show, and everyone did such a wonderful job!  I'm so proud of all my students! Our classes ranged from showmanship, hunters, equitation, hunters, jumpers, pleasure, trail, and some fun games. I loved seeing how versatile the riders were to adjust and of course Rodgers, Gem, and Ruby were such great sports carrying each rider in a lot of different classes. It was truly wonderful to have an amazing group of people join us for a great day and the weather was spectacular. Such a blessing! Can't wait for our show series in 2024!
