Sunday's Championship Show Results...
As off 11:00 a.m. Monday morning, horseshowtime.com has not posted Sunday's results, soooo the ESI Reporter can pass along what was heard at the barn yesterday. Congratulations to Brandee and Buddy on their Mini-Prix win, and to Kelsie and Ego for their fourth place ribbon in that class. And, congrats, as well, to Audra, for placing second in the final round of the OCHSA Adult Horsemanship Medal. Other results will be posted as soon as possible!

A correction from Saturday's results...
Sharp-eyed Ansley caught the mistake - maybe because she was a little surprised to read that she had shown in the Walk Trot! It was Aislyn that was third in the Walk Trot Equitation On The Flat, and Majesty brought home the Championship ribbon in the Walk Trot Pleasure!
