When a student spends her whole year working in exchange for opportunity, and rises to the occasion of that opportunity it is no doubt in our eyes she is worth of the APAHA Saddleseat Youth of the Year. Cora Freemyer is a horseman in every way!

Grit, determination and a steadfast smile makes her exceptional in a sea of incredible young horseman. We are so proud of what she has accomplished thus far, and everything she has to come ⭐️

SR Charming Charlie (Baskghazi x Turn My Way)

8 y/o 15.2hh Gelding

Charlie is as his name would imply- charming! This nationally competitive large purebred gelding has been showing with his 14 and under select rider successfully for the past couple years, and is wonderful to handle on the ground. Charlie exudes quality and presence wherever he goes. He is big, beautiful and ready to go for his next rider. He is soft and easy in the double bridle. Charlie has worn a costume, has patterned and is broke to drive and is ready for his next youth or amateur mount.
