Sycamore - Orange Coast Cooler April Show...

Your humble Reporter editor spent the weekend preparing for her home to be fumigated for termites and will be moving out in moments :(
Apologies to all for this being a little late and very brief.

Makenna was busy in the pony ring this weekend, showing Match Maker in Short Stirrup and Ginger in the Pony division. She got good ribbons on both mounts in their respective divisions. And, she placed first in Pony Equitation Flat and Over Fences, as well as winning the 2 Foot 6 Inch OCHSA Medal.

In the big hunter arena, Joey and Kathryn showed and placed throughout the Baby Green Hunters division. And, Gwen and Montage placed well in both the Low Adult Hunters and in the Childrens/AA Hunters.

Back to equitation, Allyson placed in her age group Open Equitation Over Fences, she and Melissa placed third and sixth respectively in the Golden Horse Medal, and Melissa won the OCHSA Equitation Medal.

Arielle and Glen had their first shot at the jumper ring this time, bringing home ribbons in both the .75M and Low Childrens/AA Jumpers.

In the 1-1.M Jumpers, Rocket placed third. (He also picked up a fifth in the Childrens/AA Jumpers.)

Other Childrens/AA Jumper placings include a first for Lear Jet, a first and a fourth for Euan and Elite, a third for Denmark, and a sixth for Casper. And, in the Modified Jr/Amateur Jumpers Elite carried away two first place ribbons, Denmark a second, Ladino a second and a fourth, and Casper and third.

Last, but not least, Ladino and Elite were one, two in the Mini-Prix!

Congratulations to all on a great show.
