News Worthy Accomplishments!

10/25/21: October has been a busy month for Team RPF. We hosted a show with Silver Leaf Farm that was a huge success, and we had four riders competing at the October Warhose Event Series. The first show of the month was RPF's own Fall-O-Ween Horse Show, where we had 8 riders and 11 horses competing all while keeping the day moving. Courtney took a lot of those rides with her green ponies that are in for training. She took Sherry Roberge's mare Javalena who gave an excellent performance in her halter classes, and a flat class with 11 other horses without a second thought. Congrats Sherry on your wonderful mare who is now a show pony. Courtney also took Lorin McNulty's Aspen for some halter classes, which the judge loved, she won two of the three classes. Courtney also took Christy's and Joe Gavin's hannoverian that is for sale, Great Expectations, in the hunter division where they won a good portion of their classes, and they were division champs and high point of the day for the adults. Courtney's last mount was her seasoned mare Reagan who was able to come play in halter, saddle seat, and fun classes. Courtney also brought along 2 of her students Izzy and Alexa on Golde. Izzy was able to take part in her second show and worked hard in all of her classes and take care of Golde throughout the day. Alexa was able to share Golde with Izzy at her very first show as she was in the lead line classes. RPF is so happy to welcome Alexa and her family to the show team, and is so proud of these two girls at their first and second shows! You both did amazing! RPF also brought Morgan and Pinky who worked hard in their hunter, halter, and English classes for the reserve high point of the day for the adults! Morgan we are so proud of your hard work. Addison and Ethan also joined everyone for the fun competing in hunters, show hack, and fun classes for a reserve high point for the junior riders. Congratulations Addison! The McLaurin girls also joined us for the fun, and did well in their classes Sumner on Rocky, and Sarah Beth on her new mare Tula! Congrats Ladies. Finally, Abigail Cornell made her way back to the show ring after spending some time making records in pole vaulting with both of her gelding, Max and Tater. Both boys had champion titles in the English division and Western division with a reserve. Abby and Max were also the Junior High Point for the day! What a way to have a come back! Congrats Abby. This is just the accomplishments of the riders at the Fall-O-Ween show not Warhorse the very next weekend. At Warhorse, Courtney, Rebecca, Addison, and Morgan hit the ring again for the last time before championships. Courtney on the Smith's mare Pearl in the maiden division with fifteen horses deep finished with a 33 for a fourth place finish. Congrats to the Smith's and Courtney! Rebecca and Golde scaled back to GAG to make him a little more comfortable jumping, and finished on their dressage score of 23.80 for a first place finish in a class 22 deep. Morgan and Pinky also competed at GAG with Rebecca and did wonderful getting a 33.10 for a 5th place finish out of 22! Congrats you two ladies on a fabulous weekend. The final ride of Warhorse weekend goes to Addison and Ethan who scaled back up to begginer novice after dislocating her knee earlier in the season. They placed 2nd in a competitive class that was 14 deep with a score of 32.60. Congrats Ads! RPF SportHorses is proud of all of our riders at both Fall-O-Ween and Warhorse. We are now gearing up for some local shows to take some of the other training horses to for NCDCTA year end awards and Warhorse Championships where Courtney, Rebecca, Addison, and Morgan are all qualified for, Good Luck Ladies.
