The best first pony is coming available for L!
Bee’s Knees aka Buzz (12.1h, 2008, grey) is the pony everyone wants in the barn to start their kids on the A circuit. Good mover, great jumper with auto change. SS to the division though preference given to 2’ and under job as he is getting more mature. Preference also to finding him a local job close to NC as the owners are very attached!

Available for L or P after Pony Finals!
Orchard Hills Finest Hour (14.2 h, 2014, welsh cross gelding)
Munchie is your quintessential stall to ring large pony. He is big bodied, attractive, and will always get you to the other side. He is a packer at any level and would be perfect to take a child from short stirrup to their first pony finals but is also quality enough to be competitive with a more seasoned rider. Low/mid five L depending on job. Mid/high 5 P.

And now it’s time to wish all our kids and their ponies the best of luck as they head off to Kentucky for Pony Finals! Enjoy the ride, girls!

We want to extend a big congratulations to Claire Deutsch on winning this year’s NCHJA Children’s Medal Final on Julia Slade’s Love Dreamer 2. Though they’ve only been partners for a short time, they put it together to top a competitive field at last week’s NCHJA Annual Horse Show.

Though Tryon Spring 4 was a wet one and Friday was a learning experience for some, everyone made the best of it and we came out with some great success on Sunday! I can’t thank our amazing clients enough for pitching in all weekend and especially on Sunday to get me on the road home so quickly!

It’s been a busy May! From Lexington, VA to the CHP in North Carolina- and now off to Tryon! Congratulations to all of our horses and riders on a successful few weeks of showing.

A special congratulations for Laurel Tinney for winning the derby last weekend aboard Melissa Jones’ Caballe. It’s hard to believe she was showing in the jumpers last May!
