Championship Show Final Results...

Sunday's awards began with Brianna's eighth place ribbon in the 18 and Over Limit Equitation on the Flat, and then MaKenna's seventh in her age group Limit Equitation on the Flat.

Before the horses were loaded to return home, Makenna and Elite took their turn in the Kloss Family Gambler's Choice, once again receiving the Reserve Ribbon!
 
It was a great show for Team JBE.   Congratulations to our fantastic horses and riders!

Saturday at the Championship Show...

Brianna kicked off the day with an eighth place award in the 18 and Over CWD Equitation Challenge. That was followed by Makenna's hard-earned third out of a huge group of riders in the 12-14 age group of the CWD.  Makenna also picked up a ninth place award in the OCHSA Equitation (Victor Hugo-Vidal) Medal.
Gwen and Richie finished up their week with a third in the Adult Amateur Hunters Under Saddle. 

Just one day left and our victorious horses and riders will be home.  We wish them the best in tomorrow's flat equitation classes!

Friday's color is red...

...the color of the Reserve ribbons presented to Makenna and Richie in their Pleasure class and to Brianna in her Rusty Stirrup Equitation on the Flat class.  Congratulations to both!
We can also report that the "Bad To The Bone" Hunt Team, featuring our pal Richie (and Gwen?  or Makenna?), received the pink ribbon in Thursday's class.

Year-End Champsionship Show Highlights...

The Mother/Daughter Team of Gwen and MaKenna kicked off the winning for John Berney Equestrian on Thursday at the Year-End show.  In the Low AA Hunters, Gwen and Richie picked up a ninth over fences and the Reserve Champion in the hack.

Over in the Equitation ring, Makenna placed eighth in her age group Open Equitation over Fences. Sometime later she came back into the Duncan ring to receive her own Reserve Champion ribbon in the MY Equine Ventures Junior/Amateur Equitation Classic!

Not to be left out, our fearless leader piloted Elite around the course in the OCHSA Professional Equitation Challenge and picked up the eighth place ribbon.

There's lots of show left;  watch here for more results.  And, if anyone has pictures from the show they would like to share, please email them to Margaret!

Worming clinic update

The October Worming and Vaccination Clinic will take place this Friday, October 7.  There will be no lessons given from Friday though Monday.  Lessons will resume on Tuesday, October 11.  Please feel free to check in on your horses over these days!  Hand walking or time spent on the hot walker would be great, as would lots of grooming and maybe a few treats. 

A new partnership begins...

 As promised, photos of our most recent new horse and rider combo - Melissa and Ladino.  We send off best wishes to Melissa for lots of great fun, learning, and success on her new horse.
