GKS Equestrian

Mother Nature thought she would scare us away Saturday with some nasty weather but we showed her what our kids are made of! GKS Equestrian had a fabulous day with great horses and friends and each of our riders showed great progress and results. It’s so rewarding when the hard work pays off!

Rosie Scavotto and Gonzo Z started us off in the chilly rain with some strong trips in the 2’ Training Hunters. Their performance included a 1st place in the under saddle class and earned them a Reserve Champion ribbon in a big group of horses!

Caydence Harry and Narcos Me had their best trips of the season so far in the Pre-Children’s Equitation and came home with the Reserve Champion tricolor!

We ended the day in the sun with Taryn Varney and Casstalino earning the Reserve Championship in an extremely competitive Children’s/Mod Adult combined Equitation Division. This pair is on a great path forward!

Congratulations to our riders - we are so proud of you!

Last weekend we took a trip to Mystic Valley Hunt Club and it did not disappoint! Our newest member of the GKS show team rode in her first show ever and earned the title of Champion in the leadline division. Due to an unexpected scratch by her planned mount, she rode Caydence Harry’s Narcos Me and he was such a good sport! Caydence herself had a great day placing Reserve in the PreChildrens Equitation division!
