Happy Tuesday everyone!
The HITS Ocala Circuit has come to an end and Rolling Acres was very well represented by all of our riders.
Ashley Foster won the Shalanno Style of Riding Award, which is given to the Junior or Amateur rider who best exhibits the American style of riding and possesses the respectful, dignified, courteous, and workmanlike manner of a true sportsman during the Circuit.
Mary Lisa Leffler was 6th in the East vs. West Hunter Challenge with Kiana Fiore’s Zivago, and Kiana was Maiden Equitation Champion on Zivago as well.
Other Circuit Champions included Sahara Reiz in Novice Equitation, Turtle Bay in Small Junior 16-17 with Ashley Foster, Indy in Medium Junior Jumper, and Zivago in Performance 3’3” with Mary. Birley’s Crowned Jewel (barn name Teddy) was Schooling Pony Circuit Champion with Meredith Clay. The horse Carlot (barn name Otto) was also Reserve Circuit Champion in Low Junior Jumper.
Rolling Acres also donated the Laura Pickett Perpetual Trophy for the HITS Circuit High Point Junior Hunter and the first winner of the trophy was Taylor Sutton of Texas.
Congratulations on everyone doing so well!
Now we pack up and head to Atlanta for two weeks, then home to Maryland!
