HITS Post Time Farm
Ocala, FL

Another great week horse showing in Ocala, this time at HITS. If only we could have showed in our final classes of the divisions without the weather ruining it for us! Oh well, it was another great barn family gathering and we all celebrated Valentine’s Day together!

Amelia and Emerald City were reserve champion in the Pre Children’s Hunter and Equitation!
Kallie and Rhoda were 2,6 in the medium Children’s jumpers and fourth in the classic (3 kids tied for second place with one time fault). This was their very first time showing at a meter and first horse show with us as they just moved here from out west!
Katie and Pause For Fame were in the top ribbons in the medium adult jumpers and the fastest four faulter in the classic.
Michelle and Ooh La La got great prizes in the Young Hunters 3’.

World Equestrian Center
January 27-31, 2021
Ocala, FL

What a week it was at WORLD EQUESTRIAN CENTER! This place, WOW is all we can say! There was certainly a learning curve in getting to know the layout of the huge facility and understanding how everything worked, but we figured it all out with the help of our entire barn family! All the classes were huge, so even earning a ribbon was an impressive accomplishment! We can’t wait to come back with another big group in March!

Here's how we did:

Pause for Fame and Katie won the HUGE low first child/adult class and had a heart breaking rail in the classic’s first round.
Emerald City was was 2,4,4, in the NSBA hunters with Michelle and Reserve Champion in the Long Stirrup hunter with his new mom, Amelia, at their first show.
A Lacey Remembrance and Sam were second and fifth in the .65 open and low child/adult jumper division.
Ooh La La ribboned in the baby greens with Michelle and pre children’s with Mary Kate but those gorgeous indoor arenas were very spooky for many horses.
Stark and Ellie got ribbons all week in a very competitive low adult jumper section and were seventh in the child/adult classic.
White Diamonds and Mary Kate got top ribbons in both the 3’ equitation and Children’s Hunters at their very first big show at that height!
Belle and Isla debuted in the lead line class in style and earned a beautiful blue ribbon!
Finally we helped out a dear friend in need. Stillman and Courtney were seventh in the high adult jumpers in the uber cool derby ring, that looks like a stadium!
