Mid Circuit Recap

We had a fantastic time at HITS Ocala with 3 consecutive weeks of showing in February & early March, adding some new team additions and great rounds by all our horse & rider pairs. Thank you to our amazing staff for their hard work and all of our riders on a great middle winter circuit! Some weekly highlights over the past several weeks include:

Colette Arslanian & Diamond B Casanova were Champion both at the HITS Ocala Tournament & Masters weeks in the Younger Amateur Jumper 1.0m Division. Congratulations to this impressive pair!

Grier Van Rooyen & Clair de Lune earned top ribbons in the Low Children’s Hunters during HITS Tournament week including a second in the under saddle & won 3 classes to earn Champion for the Master’s week. At HITS Ocala Winter Finals week, this girl power duo finished with another set of blues to be awarded Reserve Champion for their third show week. Congratulations Grier!

Laura Van Rooyen & Gandalf earned top ribbons both at the Tournament & Masters weeks in the Adult Medal classes including a 3rd in the NHS, 4th in the Ariat and 6th in the 3’ Adult Medal out of a competitive groups. We are so happy to see this pair back in action this show season!

We were happy to host professional Sue Lyman & the adorable Ifwhizkycouldtalk both weeks helping them in the Green and Take 2 Thoroughbred Hunter Divsions, where they earned top ribbons both at the Tournament & Masters weeks including a 4th in the 3’3” Green Incentive & Reserve Champion in the Thoroughbred Hunters during the Masters week.

This past weekend, Java got to have his mom, Maggie Greene, visit for the weekend for some riding in the sunshine. Maggie is currently working in sports public relations for some large reputable brands in NYC so we were excited she was able to get away and visit us in Ocala. Java certainly was too!

We will be rounding out the winter circuit with 2 additional show weeks at HITS before we head to the Florida Horse Park in April, then making our annual trip back to our home base in NJ.

We love getting visits from former clients!

We love getting visits from former clients!❤️ Sarah rode with us until she was 17 & we even helped find her current horse for her. She’s now grown up & married but we get to see her when we are in Ocala. And since she’s short, we even recruit her to help with the ponies!👌🏻
