April 2014

We made it through the long winter! 

On April 19^th, Pink Ribbon Farm went to Blue Goose Stable’s schooling show.  Doug and his new horse, Country Dandyman, gave a good showing, riding Intro B twice to get “Danny” some miles in the show ring.  Liz and Blue Shadow won their Intro B class and placed second in Training 1 with two really nice rides.  Tracey and Irish rode to the blue in Training 1 with a forward consistent ride and Kris rode Irish to a third in Training 3.  The Show Season has started!!!

On April 25^th and 26^th, Kris took Linda Swank and her Morgan, WB Momint, and Tracey Norcini and her Arabian/Irish Sport Horse, IMA Irish Playboy, to the Mason Dixon Classic (an Arabian/Morgan recognized Breed Show).  On Friday, both horses were shown by their owners in Intro C and Training 1 (in their respective breeds) and came out with the blue in all four classes!  In the afternoon, Kris showed both horses in Training 3 and earned second place on both (in their respective breeds).  On Saturday, Linda took “Wilee” back in Intro B and Training 1 under a different judge and again won the blue in both classes!  Wilee, who is 21-years-old, has been back in training for four weeks after being “retired” from pleasure riding for over five years.  And to make the show even better, the Pink Ribbon Farm riders took home four High Score Awards!  Tracey and Irish were High Score Intro (78%) and High Score Training (74%) for the Arabian/Half-Arabians.  Linda and Wilee were High Score Intro (71%) for the Morgans.  And Kris and Wilee were Reserve High Score Training (69%) for the Morgans.  Needless to say, we all came home smiling!
