Hi and Good Morning to All!
We had a fun filled day at If Only Farm!

We all rode in the Puddle Jumper division at the If Only Farm Schooling Show on Saturday.

I had a successful school on Umbella. Patrick had three wonderful rides and won 6th place in all three classes on Suki. Nikki, in her first time doing the jumpers, did a fantastic job and got a 4th and a 5th on Lucky! Lynn had three amazing classes and won second place in all three on Ransom. Heather, also in her first time doing jumpers, won 5th place and 4th place on Rosey.

More important than the ribbons, which I was obviously pleased with, I would like to congratulate everyone on their wonderful sportsmanship and horsemanship. I am so proud to have such an amazing group of students that, while working hard on achieving their own personal goals, support and encourage one another with enthusiasm and a positive spirit. We are off to a great start for the year and I am really looking forward to the next horse show!

Thank you to all of you that came out to cheer us on! Rick, Virginia, Chris, Jeff, Lizz, and all of the friends, parents and grandparents that attended made such a difference in our day. The riders couldn’t do it without all of your support and assistance!

-Claire
