What a wonderful, wonderful couple of weekends!!

What a wonderful, wonderful couple of weekends we have had!! We were wowed by the horsemanship that was on display. There were so many finishes in the top three spots. Congratulations to Skyeler for her first win in Advanced at The Horse Park of New Jersey Horse Trials, and Kelley for her win in Starter-1 and Starter-3 (and the TIP Starter Championship) with her youngsters at Seneca Valley Pony Club Horse Trials! Also, shout out to Brooke for a very successful second trip around an Advanced course.
