We arrived back to our winter base at HITS Ocala, FL in December and started the 2025 show year off with a stellar week at the HITS Holiday Classic.
Grier Van Rooyen debuted in the equitation ring with her new horse, Utrillo de Soleil, with great success receiving Reserve Champion in the 12-14 Equitation division and a win in the Pyranha Children’s Medal. We are so excited to watch this pair and welcome Fluffy to the barn!
In the hunter ring, Grier kicked off the new year with great rounds on Clair de Lune in the Low Children’s Hunter division, earning a pair of seconds, both over fences and under saddle. Another great pair to watch this season!
The Van Rooyen ladies continued their winning ways with Laura Van Rooyen winning both the Dover Medal and NHS Medal on long time partner, Gandalf, who we welcomed back to the show ring this season. We are so happy to see this amazing pair back together again at the horse shows!
New Signature Stables addition, Colette Arslanian and her horse Diamond B Casanova, were lighting fast in the jumper ring to receive Champion in the Junior/Amateur Jumper .90 divison. We would like to extend a huge welcome to Colette & Cass to team Signature!
Gearing up for their successful wins, Jenn piloted Luna to earn top ribbons in the 3′ Greens including an under saddle win and Gandalf in the USHJA 3′ Hunters, earning top ribbons out of a large competitive group.
Lastly, we would also like to extend a warm welcome Simone Scotto to the staff at Signature Stables. We are kicking off the 2025 season in full swing this month with 3 continuous weeks of showing, starting this week at WEC Ocala. Good luck to the entire team!
