Event Team Results

August - Fair Hill International Horse Trials - Elkton, Maryland

Rebecca Gray and her horse, Gogo Kid, led the charge at the Fair Hill Horse Trials finishing 4th in the Training division. Additionally Patty Moshanko had a good time with her The Color Of Kells as did Neal on Hanna.

Courtney did the dressage and show jumping with Teddy and Woody but decided not to run either horse since the footing on the course was very hard because of the drought.

August - Pleasant Hollow Horse Trials - Pleasant Valley, Pennsylvania

In late August it was Kim Russell's time to shine with her lovely mare, Ashanti. She performed well in the dressage and then added nothing to her score to win her Training division. It will be an especially important memory for her as she lost her mare to a bout of colic in November. We are all very sorry for her.

Patty Moshanko and Paul also went to Pleasant Hollow and won a 6th place ribbon in her Novice division.

September - Waredaca Horse Trials - Olney, Maryland

Teddy and Woody accompanied Courtney to Waredaeca in September, both to compete in the Preliminary divisions. Both boys jumped beautifully with Teddy ending up with a 7th place rosette.

September - Menfelt Horse Trials - Fredrick , Maryland

Woody and Teddy then made the trip to Menfelt horse trials in Frederick, Maryland. The preliminary courses were very tough, with show jumping being particularly difficult. Again both boys were up to the challenge and both finished with 8th place ribbons.

September - Fair Hill International Starter Trials - Elkton, Maryland

Patty Moshanko and Rebe Gray took their horses, Paul and Kid to the starter trials at Fair Hill, while Courtney was in Unionville and both had their continued work and efforts rewarded. Both jumped beautiful clears on cross country and Rebe finished 3rd with Kid and Patty finished 4th with her Pinto, Paul.

September - Fair Hill at Plantation Field Horse Trials - Unionville, Pennsylvania

While Patty and Rebe were off in Maryland, Courtney took Woody to the Fair Hill Futurity in Unionville. This competition is set up for Young Horses and is designed to showcase horses and their future ability. Woody jumped superbly and was 2nd in the conformation in hand competition.

September - Middletown Pony Club Horse Trials - Chesapeake City, Maryland

Teddy won the dressage at Preliminary and did not look back. He jumped like a machine the rest of the weekend and won the entire event going away.

October - Flora Lea Horse Trials - Medford, New Jersey

It was the babies time out at Flora Lea, and Justine's first event with us grooming. On Saturday Jim Jam, Euro and Clifton Safari all had very good competitions in the their divisions unfortunately none came home with ribbons but they were all excellent.

On Sunday, the more experienced horses had a chance to compete with Toy Master placing 5th in the Open Preliminary and his half brother Toy Story, Woody, finishing the event with a classy, beautiful show jumping round.

October - Waredaca Horse Trials - Olney, Maryland

The young horses next outings all went much better than at Flora Lea. Jim Jam was 3rd out of 25 in the Open Training with one of the very few double clear jumping rounds. Weatherspoon was lovely and confirmed himself with a 2nd place finish in the Open Novice out of division of 23 starters. King Reilly also jumped right around and finished 9th in his division of his Open Novice. Woody rewarded Courtney's efforts from the season with his best round of the season and Courtney left cross country with a huge smile for his effort.

Justine Dutton performed beautifully on Hanna and finished 2nd in a very competitive Novice Rider division in her first outing with C Square Farm.

November - Fair Hill at Plantation Field Starter Trials - Unionville, Pennsylvania

With the fall weather moving in we took a bunch of students and horses to the Starter Trials in Unionville. Justine Dutton rode our friend Rainey's Squid and finished in the ribbons with a lovely test and jumping rounds. Patty Moshanko took Paul out and also finished in the ribbons. Courtney also took Weatherspoon and King Reilly in the Training division and both finished with ribbons as well.

Two newcomers to the eventing trials joined us. Ashley Bachman worked hard all summer and fall and culminated her work in a ribbon in the Elementary division with Hanna. Lauren Barone also joined us on Jim Thorton's Adrian who she had been leasing. Adrian is quite green to eventing and Lauren did a fabulous job educating him for the future.
