Here are our results from the second week of the Duke Benefit Horse Show!
We were proud to participate in the annual “Jump for the Children” Duke Horse Show in Raleigh, NC, the weeks of November 4-8 and 11-15. Since their first show in 1984, Jump for the Children has raised over $2.4 million for Duke Children’s Hospital. It’s a wonderful community event for a great cause. We had two great weeks in Raleigh (see our previous blog post for photos and results from the first week!)

The RASS crew headed down to the Virginia Horse Center for the Maryland Horse & Pony Show. The weekend finished with our own Patty Foster winning the Jack Stedding Memorial Trophy. This trophy was donated by the Schindler Family to the Maryland Horse and Pony show in his honor to a deserving trainer who exemplifies what Jack Stedding stood for:
– Horsemanship
– Showmanship
– Success in the show ring
– And always working to strengthen the show hunter industry
