Michele Sanders had a Reserve Champion day with Parkmore and Level 3 jumpers. And Tickle Me and Jane won two seconds with some fun jumping! Check out our schedule to see our competitions in Aiken to come cheer us onward!

Fall 2007

Vince Dugan's Jumper Show November 10, 2007
We took four horses to Vince's jumper show and the farm was hopping! Skyhook was piloted by Jane and she placed 3rd in Level I and 4th in Level 2 with four clean jumping rounds! Jacob Horah rode Hawk in three jumping classes with a clean go at the Level 2. And he rode Parkmore in Level 2 with two clean rounds but earned the big E with jumping the wrong jump in the jump off!

Ashley Sager rode her Acrobatic Champ in three classes with her Level 2 final class showing a good rhythm and feel of the canter. She flew around the final jump off, missed a fence, and earned the big E! Great ride and we'll practice with some more jumper shows this winter!

Thank you to Ashley and Jacob for the fine riding and grooming! Jacob earned a fifth place and Ashley a sixth place in their Level I Jumper class! We'll keep you posted for the upcoming jumper shooling shows this winter!

The Big Dressage Show with DVCTA November 4, 2007
UN and I dressed up in our FEI clothes of Top Hat and Tails! We rode the FEI Test of Choice at the Big Dressage Schooling Show! She was tense and a little stiff in her first test so we worked a few more minutes and returned to ride another test twenty minutes later. And UN & I were both more relaxed! We scored a 59.8% and vowed to work more on this dressage over the winter.

Willow accompanied us to the show and had a good test with a better connection. She was also more relaxed and focused! More practice this winter as well! What a fun show and we'll return for next year! Thanks to Natalya Vtorygina for her good grooming and company!

Plantation Field September 21-23, 2007
New Moon and UN did the FEI TEST Of Choice on Friday, September 21 and they both had good tests, more relaxed through their backs and scored in the 30's! Then on Saturday, New Moon scored a 34.6 to place 5th in dressage in section B of the Advanced division. He had one rail show jumping and 9.6 time faults with a clean cross country to place 2nd overall! The ground was hard and the jumps were not as large as Burghley CCI**** in early September!

Morven Park HT October 5-7, 2007
New Moon and UN visited VA for their next Advanced competition. Due to the drought conditions and the hard ground, we did the dressage and show jumping, withdrawing from the cross country competition. New Moon scored a 41.6 with dressage and one rail is show jumping. UN scored a 50 and one rail in show jumping. Morven Park is one of my favorite competitions so I hope we have better conditions in the spring!

I did not compete any of the young horses this fall due to the hard ground!

Fairhill International CCI*** October 17-21, 2007
We had alittle rain the week before our Three Day and I presented both New Moon and UN for the first vet inspection! They looked fit and ready for the Test, thank you to Ashley Sager, Natalya Vtorygina, and Annie Ireland for the wonderful grooms help! New Moon went early Thursday morning for his dressage test in the heavy fog. He had a nice test with good movements to score a 58. UN did her test on Friday and had a very nice warm up. The rain came pouring down and we did our dressage in a deluge. She was more relaxed to score a 72.2. We will work on our dressage this winter! I withdrew both horses from the competition as I was sore in my left hip and wanted to give them my best ride. So we'll save our go for another day! You can catch some photos and the results on www.FairhillInternational.com.

Plantation Starter November 3, 2007
We had a good amount of rain following FHI CCI*** so the going was excellent for the Starter HT. We had eight horses and six students competing. Everyone had a good day! Congratulations to Abigail Horah and Snapple on their pre-novice dressage win and big Blue ribbon overall! Chantel Cray also grabbed the dressage win and the big Blue in her pre-novice division with a double clear cross country and show jumping. Both of these riders will move into the Novice Division for next year!

My new working student, Ashley Sager rode her five year old Acrobatic Champ in his second pre-novice! She had a good dressage test, one rail in sj, and a clean, easy x-c to place 6th overall. Good job!
Jacob Horah had two good novice rides and placed 7th overall with Hawk and 6th with Zeus. Henrietta Bright had a busy day with Tickle Me in the Training Rider division to place 4th overall with a double clear x-c and show jumping. Then she hacked Piper from his stabling and Piper placed 3rd overall in his very first event at the Elementary Division. Well done!

And Willow and I went Training Horse with a good dressage test, clean x-c and sj to place 3rd overall! What a great end to the Fall Season! We have a few more cross country schools, Vince Dugan's Jumper Show and St.Augustine's Dressage Derby on December 2, 2007. May the season never end!!

UNO had her first bath and was braided for the class. Wuf (known as Carpe Diem to his friends!) came as chaperone!

There were 18 entries and Denis Glacuum judged the young horses! We had a great time and UNO was pretty impressed with the crowd and the ring. A good time was had on a gorgeous fall day! Natalya Vtorygina was the assistant. Thank you to all!

Summer 2007

The Burghley CCI**** August 29 through September 2, 2007 in Stamford, England

The final salute in the dressage test at The Burghley CCI**** in Stamford, England. UN's face says it all! 'When do we jump?" Photo by shawshot.

TUN grazing at Andrew Nicholson's in England just before The Burghley CCI****. Shown with Tasmin Thurlow owner/groom.

UN is now a real 4* horse! She galloped around the most difficult cross country course we've ever jumped! You must see the photo of me losing the reins completely at the first water jump when I pecked forward! It was so exciting! UN galloped through the water with the reins dangling around her front feet, she turned left and jumped out of the water and I was able to grab the reins!! I got organized and we continued on around the course with a technical refusal at that water as our only jumping penalties! It was easy for her and I was along for the ride!

Our dressage test needs more submission and harmony so we'll work on that this fall/winter. And we'll jump more show jumping so I give her a better ride! And I've got some interest in selling her so we have so many adventures happening! UN is back home and what a trip we had! Thank you to all of my help and supporters for such an opportunity! And cheers to Bruce Davidson and Jam! They placed 10th overall with a beautiful, clean show jumping round on the final day!

I especially thank my friend and co-owner Tamsin Thurlow for her great help at Burghley as the best groom extraordinaire, the transport, and the friendship!

Come say hi at our fall competitions and Onward!

The exciting water jump, The Trout Hatchery! I pecked forward and lost the reins completely! We got organized and went on to jump the next jump. Photo by Beth Harpham

You can see the massive crowds behind us! The gorgeous weather brought out a huge crowd of spectators and boy, did they add to the electric atmosphere! Photo by shawshot.

Plantation Field Starter Horse Trials June 10, 2007
We had seven horses at the starter and we had a fun day! Kelly and Jane started the training division with a score of 37.5, Maca and Marsha Zebley 38. and Tickle Me finished the division with a 38. Maca had a rail in show jumping and a good cross country. Kelly lost a shoe so we had to scratch both of the jumping tests. Tickle Me jumped a double clear to place 3rd overall!

In the novice division, Jacob Horah rode Zeus and Hawk. He scored a 37.5 with Zeus and a 44.5 with Hawk, had a double clear with both horses, and placed 5th with Zeus and 7th with Hawk. A great day! And Abigail Horah rode Snapple to a 3rd overall with a 35.3 in dressage and a double clear!

We love the starter horse trials!

Jersey Fresh CCI***
May 30- June 3, 2007
Looking thin, fit, and ready for his Three Day! Morris, sleep, and our groom Ashley Steele packed up all the feed and gear and headed over to the New Jersey Horse Park. We presented New Moon for his first vet inspection and he looked the part for his second three day three star at the age of nine!

For the dressage test, Morris was obedient and precise. I needed to ask for more engagement and for him to flow over his back- more projects to work on this summer!

The cross country course had many new jumps and it was the best track I've seen there. I was concerned about the extreme heat and the hard ground with our first walk. Luckily, the ground was aerated and it rained two nights so the footing improved tremendously for the cross
country ride!

Morris jumped great and he handled himself well. As we turned into Fence 17 A, a log on a bump, I said 'whoa' to steady him, I lost impulsion, and we stopped at the fence! All of my fault for not riding forward! I circled quickly and Morris jumped in good form to finish with 8 time
faults. Morris recovered quickly and we had the superb help of Phyllis Dawson and her Windchase Team! Ashley did a great job keeping everyone organized and New Moon was thinner and happy. Check out his photo of his skinny self taken by Phyllis Dawson right when he was in front of the large fans provided by Jersey Fresh to help the horses cool out!

Sunday morning was a busy one with a quick hack out to loosen up the two of us! We trotted up for the vet inspection and we were passed onto the show jumping test!

The course was colorful, with many turns, and roll backs. I walked the course three times to be sure I knew where I was going! Morris warmed up a little backward so I galloped around and we did a good warm up. We jumped well and lowered three fences! We placed 28th in our second CCI*** and I was so pleased with his performance and good attitude. Thank you to everyone who helped make our three day happen. And thank you to Chris and Paige Schwartzman for their lovely hospitality and the use of the fabulous car!

 

Spring 2007

Plantation Field 5/12-13/2007
This event was our last advanced HT before our CCI*** at Jersey Fresh. New Moon did the 2005 FEI Advanced Test A for his dressage test. He had more confidence and a better contact- we scored a 34.2!

Show jumping was held next. The course was large, twisting, and had many turns. New Moon tried hard and jumped well- we lowered two rails! Cross country was the next day and we galloped around the course clean with 10 time faults. I was thrilled with him and we are ready for Jersey Fresh CCI***. New Moon placed 5th overall in his advanced division.

Ashley Steele rode Parkmore in the open novice division and earned a 33 in dressage, a clean show jumping, and a very clean cross country to place 3rd overall!

UN is a Four Star **** mare
Rolex Kentucky CCI****
April 25-29, 2007
UN and Jane Sleeper trekked to Lexington, KY to take part in the Rolex Kentucky CCI**** April 25-29, 2007. The atmosphere was electric and there were 45 entries from all over the US, AUS, BEL, GBR, CAN, and NED.

UN is leaping into the Head of the Lake at the 2007 Rolex Kentucky CCI****! Jane and UN completed their first Four Star and here is the exciting photo of us leaping into the water!

Thank you for everyone for their help so we could go participate! Kristen Villeneuve groomed for us with help from Jacob Horah, Kristen's parents, David and Brenda provided the housing, Natalya Vtorygina kept the barn at home running with help from Michele Sanders, Henrietta Bright, Chantel Cray, Annie Ireland, and Kristy Shaeffer. And we couldn't have moved without the excellent packing of Ashley Steele and Sarah Fletcher. WoW! Look at all the support it took! Did I mention that UN is a really nice Four Star Horse??

Onward!

Morven Park HT
March 31-April 1, 2007
Ashley Steele, Jane, and three horses traveled to Leesburg, VA for the Morven Park HT. We had 12 entries in the Advanced division so the scheduling was very tight- New Moon had a good dressage test but wasn't completely focused to score a 41.7. UN and Willow were tense and scored in the 50's. New Moon jumped a clean advanced show jumping and we were thrilled! UN had a couple of rails in the show jumping and I'll warm her up longer for The Fork! Morven Park offered only the Intermediate cross country so I withdrew UN and New Moon jumped confidently but we ran past 4B, a corner after a log on a bump! Gotta work on those lines! Willow had a good show jumping and had a very fluid cross country so she's ready for her move-up to Intermediate at The Fork.

Onward to The Fork in Norwood, NC! Thank you to Ashley Steele and Eillen Ball for their great help over the weekend!

Pine Top Farm Advanced HT March 3,4, 2007
UN and New Moon headed to Georgia with Ashley Steele as the important groom, supporter and Sleeper as the rider!

New Moon made the first day very exciting with a tie for first place in dressage with a score of 30.0! He jumped a big show jumping track and lowered one rail for 4 faults added! UN improved her dressage test as she progressed with a score of 38.8 and knocked down the last show jumping fence for 4 faults added!

New Moon showing his medium trot where he won the dressage at Pine Top Farm, Georgia with a score of 30.0!

The second day was the first advanced cross country competition for the 2007 season and it was a fine track! The jumps were inviting and there were many combinations and narrow fences to help riders/horses sharpen their skills!

Willow jumped a clean cross country and show jumping at Preliminary Pine Top Farm 2/17,18/07.

My goal was to jump clean with both horses and boy, we reached our goal! New Moon went first of the two and he jumped bravely around the course. We went conservatively so we added 15.2 time faults and we were clean cross country. New Moon placed 4th overall! UN had the most super ride! She jumped brilliantly- she was very eager and I had to persuade her to slow down with 6.4 time faults. She placed 3rd overall and we are psyched for Morven Park HT!

We are in Aiken, SC with some lovely horses for sale!
Come see them compete and ride them! Parkmore, Caveat, and Tucker have jumped several clean cross country and Caveat is a packer novice and training AND he can compete well with the preliminary division! A great ride for a YR or amateur. Tucker is the ultimate YR horse and he's doing his job well! UN and New Moon are the two Advanced horses who will start the season at Pine Top Intermediate on February 17-18. Tune in next week for the results!

Winter 2006

Full Gallop Farm had their second horse trials on February 14, 2007
Tickle Me, Caveat, Parkmore, and Sam I Am all went prelim and placed in the top ten! The weather was cold and windy but we galloped and jumped in the sandy soil. Tucker XIV did his second training horse trials and won the dressage with a 32.5! We had 2 time faults in show jumping with a clean round and a clean cross country to place 4th overall! And for ribbons, Parkmore and Ashley Steele were 6th, Sam and Kristy were 9th, Tickle Me placed 6th with Jane and Caveat placed 7th! A great event with good results from our training here in Aiken! On to Pine Top Farm in Georgia!

Sporting Days February 9 & 10 2007
What a great day was had by the Sleeper preliminary Team! Everyone jumped clean cross country with Tickle Me having a double clear! Caveat, known to his friends as Kelly, scored the upset dressage win with a 32.3! Kelly jumped a clean x-c with a few time faults and a 4 fault show jumping to place 5th overall in his first preliminary event! Ashley Steele and Parkmore placed 6th overall in their first prelim in the Junior Preliminary with a clear show jumping added to their clear x-c! Kristy Shaeffer and Sam I Am placed 7th overall in their first clear cross country at the preliminary level! The footing was good with the sand and the show jumps were colorful. What a good result for our big trip to South Carolina! Yahoo to all and especially to our great working student who helped groom and made the day easier, Grace Wheeler!

Good luck to the cross country school next week and onward to Full Gallop Farm, our second preliminary competition on February 14!

Here's the news from Aiken, SC
February 3 & 4
We made it to Full Gallop Farm in Aiken, South Carolina. We braved through the cold weather and were rewarded with a 70 degree day with sunshine and our first event! It was at Full Gallop Farm and all folks had a good school for the preliminary divisions for the next weekend! Caveat and Jane had a good dressage, sj, and cross country and so did Ashley Steele and Parkmore! Ashley and Tucker will work on balancing that gallop cross country and Kristy Shaeffer on Sam I Am will work on shortening her horse's huge gallop into combinations.

New Moon placed 3rd overall in his first preliminary HT of the season and Caveat was 7th. Onward to Sporting Days next weekend!

Plans for the Winter Training Season!
We are entered in a clinic with Anne Kursinski on December 2 & 3 and we are preparing for a cross country school at Rubicon Farm in December too!

We will do some jumper shows and practice those dressage moves at some schooling shows so check in with us and come train with us! We will do some lessons at Fox Crossing's fabulous indoor ring so come join us! And we are hoping to go to Aiken, SC in February so keep in touch and come cheer us onward! We'll have a schedule asap! And we adore more friends to come train with us!

Autumn 2006

Rubicon HT November 12, 2006
Ashley Steele, Parkmore, Caveat, and I trucked down to Leesburg, VA to out last event of the year! As we crossed into VA, the rains poured down and we pulled into the grounds amidst sleeting rain and sopping wet footing! Ashley and I walked the show jumping and cross country courses and we were wading in ankle deep water. Ashley gamely rode Parkmore in a good dressage test and we cheered Michele Saunders and Tessa in their dressage test! Then the event was canceled and we headed to IHOP for breakfast with eventing friends before our three hour drive home! What a wash out and what a way to end our season! Onto the winter training and we are eager for the next season to begin already.

Plantation Field Starter HT
November 4, 2006
We had a gorgeous day for the last starter horse trial of the year! Ashley Steele rode Parkmore to second place in Training Rider and Dutch Wonder placed 4th in his second training event! Henrietta Bright and Caveat had a clear x-c to place 5th overall in the novice division. Kerri Healy and Branch had a good day with their first novice ht, Jacob Horah placed 8th with Hawk and Abigail Horah jumped a clean x-c with Snapple! We'll train this winter with that elusive dressage to improve our scores for next year!

Fairhill CCI***
October 18-22, 2006
New Moon and UN had their last gallop on Tuesday and we headed to Elkton, MD for our Advanced Fall Championships held at Fairhill International CCI***. I asked Buck Davidson to ride New Moon to give the young horse a good ride around his second CCI*** and I rode UN.

UN had a more relaxed dressage test without any mistakes to score a 68.7! I was thrilled! Buck and Morris had a pleasant test to score a 59.1, placing 11th out of 60 starters. We were onto cross country! The cross country course was wet with some deep mud in places. UN was 25th to go and jumped confidently. We finished right on the optimum time of 10 minutes! No penalties! Double clear round!

Morris jumped a little green at the Loon into the water at fence five and then he jumped strongly onward! He became very tired, trotted the second to last fence, and fell down. Luckily both Buck and Morris were okay and we went back to the barn happy to have another chance on another day! UN was presented to the Ground Jury Sunday morning for the vet inspection. She felt great and strutted her stuff, showing her strong trot to the judges!

The show jumping course was big, turning, and the sun was shining! We jumped in reverse order of placing and UN jumped in tenth place. We had one rail and we moved into 9th place overall! What a weekend! Thank you to Ashley Steele and Kerri Healy for the good grooming. And to Natalya Vtorygina and Michele Saunders for the great help at the barn! And a special thank you to Dr. Brendon Furlong and staff for their help with the horses. On to Rolex!

NJ Horsepark HT on October 14, 2006
Magic Monkey tied for second in the open training division and Dutch Wonder with Ashley Steele placed 7th in the open training. Caveat scored a 35 in dressage. It's on to Rubicon HT in November!

Morven Park CCI* and Advanced HT October 5-8, 2006
We had some wet, rainy weather at Morven Park! Willow did her first CCI* and was very impressed with the dressage and the atmosphere! We scored an 85. in dressage with some very explosive canter work! Willow galloped and jumped beautifully on the endurance day! On the third day, Willow trotted up to pass the vet check and jumped a gorgeous show jumping round to place 11th overall.

Willow was one of seven horses out of 80 to jump a double clear! Sharon Clark, her breeder and owner, came out in the pouring rain to cheer us on! Great fun was had by all! UN and New Moon were withdrawn due to the deep footing for cross country. UN did the dressage with a 37.6 and a clean show jumping! On to FHI CCI*** with UN and New Moon!

Thank you to Eileen Ball and Rocky Robinson for their excellent hospitality at Old Oaks! Dinner was delicious! And a big Thank You to Kristy Shaeffer and Ashley Steele for the fine grooming jobs! We could not do this without you both! And thank you for Morven Park for holding a full format Three Day! It's so important for the horses and riders to experience the Three Day!

Marsha Zebley and Bubba completed their first CCI* with an outstanding performance in the Young Rider Prelim. Due to the rain and footing, the steeplechase was cancelled but Marsha and Bubba jumped a double clear cross country! Congratulations to them for such a good job and good luck at college this year, UVM!

Flora Lea HT September 30, 2006
Ashley Steele had a great day x-c with a clean and fast ride with Parkmore! They had a forward moving dressage test to score a 46, one rail in sj, and we left before the results were finalized so we'll have to find out! Caveat, nickname Kelly, had a good dressage test of 33, double clear x-c, and one stop in sj to place 2nd overall in his first recognized training event. Monkey Magic closely followed Caveat with a 36 in dressage, double clear x-c, and one rail in sj to place 3rd overall. Thank you to Ashley for riding well and grooming too!

Plantation Field September 23-24, 2006
New Moon and UN had their second Advanced HT to prepare for FHI CCI*** in October. UN had a good dressage test, got a little tense with her flying changes to score a 37.6, one rail in sj, and I missed a fence line in x-c and we had to represent! She had a good run cross country! New Moon scored a 40.1 in dressage, 2 rails sj for 8 penalties, and a clean x-c with 6 time faults. He jumped well and enjoyed his cross country! Thank you to Tamsin Thurlow for her fine company and good grooming!

Parkmore and Ashley Steele competed in Training Rider with some grand cheering from her father, visiting from Milford, NH! They scored a 50.5 in dressage, clean x-c, one rail in sj to place 5th overall. Yahoo and good job! Onward to Morven Park!

FHI Starter Horse Trial September 17, 2006
While I celebrated my mom's 90 birthday with 90 red roses, Kristen Villeneuve drove my van with Ashley Steele and Kerri Healy to compete at FHI in Elkton, MD. Footloose and Kristen won the dressage with a 32.5 and didn't add any penalties to win the novice division! Ashley with her homebred mare Steelmagnolia was second in the novice with a 37 in dressage, one rail in sj and a clean x-c. Kerri and Branch, another homebred from Sharon Clark and related to Willow, jumped a double clear with x-c and sj to place 5th with a 47 in dressage. Come cheer for these teams at the Plantation Starter on November 4, 2006!

Seneca Valley September 9, 2006
Tickle Me, Willow, and Ashley Steele traveled with me to compete at a new event for us! And it was well worth the trip to VA! The cross country was big and galloping, an excellent last event before Morven Park. Willow had a good dressage, one rail in sj and a clean x-c to place 7th overall. Tickle Me had a clean sj and a green cross country but clean to also place 7th! What a fun event and we'll go back next year!

Ashley Steele did a great job as groom and organizer! She's a working student with me and is riding, competing, and working towards her A Pony Club Test. On to her preliminary horse trials this fall and great riding! Thank you for the good grooming job!

Ludwigs Horse Show September 4, 2006
We had another beautiful day for the jumper show at Ludwig's Corner. We took four horses and had a grand time. New Moon jumped a double clear of the day in the preliminary jumper, Tickle Me and Willow had one rail in the jump off. We visited the show vendors and watched all of the adorable ponies. It is a fun family show with good jumper classes. Thank you to Kerri Healy and Ashley Steele for grooming!
