Three members of the John Berney Equestrian team spent a very long weekend at Blenheim for the Victory Horse Show this past Saturday and Sunday. Due to a limited number of entries, management made the decision to run all classes in one ring which made for very long days for John and our riders.
Maddie discovered that most of the hunter classes she wanted to show Concerto in were canceled due to lack of entries. On Saturday, she did bring home two blue ribbons in Junior/Amateur Hunters. Then, on Sunday, the pair made their jumper debut, placing third in the Modified Junior/Amateur and Preliminary classes, and sixth in the Mini Prix.
Our new horse and rider combo, Meghan McNamara and Here's Johnny placed second and third in the weekend's OCHSA Horsemanship classes, as well as placing third another day in the Equitation Medal. Oh yes, and she won the Equitation Medal one day, too! They, too, took a couple of spins in the jumper ring, picking up first and second place ribbons in the Pre-Training Jumper classes. Welcome Meghan and Johnny - we will do a photo feature on you very soon!
Makenna and Rich completed the trio of riders showing over the weekend. They were consistently in the ribbons in the Children's Hunter classes, and Makenna placed fifth in both her Open Equitation Classes, and in an OCHSA Horsemanship class.
Congratulations to all our horses and riders on their prizes and their tenacity for sticking it out through a long weekend of showing.
