The Born Free Farm ponies were in top form last week at the Fieldstone Spring Festival. Piloted by owner Elizabeth Foster, young Qualen's Commence the Magic (aka "Manny") was Champion Medium Pony Hunter while 2011 USEF & Pony Finals Grand Green Pony Hunter Magical Diamond (aka "Mickey") took the Reserve Championship in the division. Elizabeth & Manny also swept the Medium Green Pony Hunter division to be Champion, while Elizabeth & Mickey had great rounds & ribbons in both the Pony Medals and the $2500 Pony Hunter Classic. New videos have been posted for both ponies & both ponies can be seen this week at HITS Saugerties, contact Lisa Foster or Scott Stewart for trial.
Hillcrest Farm's pony jumper Dream On is returning from lease and will compete and be available for trial at the Devon Horse Show. "Windy" earned good ribbons at WEF this year and is ready to shine at Pony Finals this summer. Sellers will consider lease or sale priced under $20K. Also, Jr/Am & First Year Green Hunter Vizconde will be stabled just 10 miles from the Devon showgrounds. Contact Hillcrest Farm for more details and to arrange trial.
Hillcrest Farms impressive imported jumper Korkade has been steadily successfully in 1.25m-1.35 classes and recently moved up with rider/trainer Natalee Newton to the 1.40m classes. They earned good ribbons in solid company at both Lone Star & Texas Shoot Out, and continued to place high at the lower levels. New video of the clean & ribbon winning 1.40m round is on the way, stay tuned!

It's just a matter of time before this hunter(!) crosses $50,000 in career earnings! Try him at any Atlanta area show.
Congratulations to Kim Barone and the team at Raven Ridge Farm on an impressive 17 Champions & Reserve Champions the first week of Maffit Lake. Kim rode Omar BZ & Dark Chocolate to both tricolors in the High Performance Hunters, and was also Champion in the 3'3" section on Jill Schmidt's Undercover. She was then 1st in the $5,000 USHJA National Hunter Derby on Carolyn Abram's Omar BZ and 5th on Cynthia Bulwicz's Cyril, while Cynthia took the reins herself to pilot Philadelphia to 2nd Place in the Derby. Overall it was incredibly successful week for RRF and a great example of their quality training.
