Windy Hill News

April 30, 2012

Windy Hill just returned from a successful show at the Woodside Horse Park.  Hannah Hollinger and Jessie Etterman have been working hard to qualify for the NorCal team that will travel to Spruce Meadows in Calgary.  This was the final qualifier and Hannah and Special Z made the 1.10 team and the 1.00 team.  Jessie and Quito's Son qualified for the 1.20 team.  We are very excited to go represent NorCal.  Good job girls!

Here are some more highlights from the week:

  • Diane Doolittle and Quentaky were Reserve Champions in the Adult Amateur Jumpers.  
  • Maeve Phelan and The Lightening Thief were reserve Champions in the Low Children's Hunters and won the Low Childrens Flat Equitation.  This was their first show together.
  • Madeline Panaccione won good ribbons, including a 2nd in the Low Childrens Undersaddle at their first show together.  Watch out for this pair!
  • Sameera Kelkar and Lacorado L won a Low Children's hunter class at their very first show together and Sameera's first show ever!
  • Gillian Mihanovic was 2nd in the Onondarka Medal, 2nd in the PCHA, and 4th in the NorCal 3ft.
  • Talia Matityahu and Black Irish were 5th in the .90 Stake and blazed around the speed course for a 3rd.
  • Katie Boissicat and The Situation made a triumphant return to the show ring getting faster every day in the .70 jumpers.  This great team was 2nd in the final class of their show.
  • Natalie Gerst and Abracadabra had a great time in the Short Stirrup.  Natalie was 3rd in the Short Stirrup Equitation on the flat and got good prizes over fences too.
