Red Stag Equestrian

First show of the season in the books! Miss Lydia and Davina had their partnership debut this weekend at the SRHJA schooling show and absolutely ROCKED it. It was a blustery day, first show of the season, and Lydia’s second show EVER, (and first time in the hunters!) and I cannot begin to express how proud I am of this pair. There were some learning moments and homework to work on, but this young lady’s sportsmanship, attitude, and enthusiasm were above and beyond from start to finish. The pair has been working SO hard this winter, and it sure paid off in the show ring! Every goal we had for the day was met by leaps and bounds, and even got to take home a few blues to boot in some TOUGH (and big!) classes!!💕 I may not be able to convince this jumper-at-heart to play in the hunters very often, but I’m hopeful they’ll give it a go more often after this show!

We’ve got a few days to rest before we head over to Meadow View Farm for the Columbia Hunter Jumper Outreach show, where we’ll have a few more riders in the ring for the first time this spring! Show season is off to one heck of a start, and we can’t wait to see what’s to come! Congratulations Lydia and Davina, and good luck to our riders competing this coming weekend!

Very proud of these two young ladies this week! They’re working SO hard to prep for the upcoming season, each on a brand new mount, and each growing so quickly in their skill, confidence, and horsemanship in and out of the saddle 🥰 great job girls, it’s going to be a fantastic season!

Cannot thank Sally Parks and the Parkwood Equestrian team enough for helping us match these two kiddos to the most perfect horses for each of them 🥹♥️ Lydia’s confidence and love of the jumpers have been able to blossom with the help of the sweet-and-speedy Davina, and Edison has been the perfect gentleman (with just the right amount of personality) for Addie to hone her technical skills for the Hunter and eq rings!

First shows coming up in just a few weeks - we can’t wait!!!
