Greensboro Hunter Jumper Classic (Sept 2-4)

This weekend we went to the greensboro "A" show. We took Oriental K, Fandango, and DC (Dream Catcher). The horses were pretty good. DC schooled well, he did not show but Maren decided to take him for the practice. Oriental and Fandango did the 1.20m. Oriental was 4th and Fandango was 3rd. Oriental was also 5th in the 1.30m. They both jumped really well.
We would like to welcome Rodolfo to the Aramburo Equestrian and Vixen Trail Farm family! He came with us to the show and did a great job helping us. The horses love him.

Here are some pics from the show:

Sedgefield August 2010

It was a good weekend at the Greensboro Horse Show. The weather was pretty nice. Very hot and it rained only a little on saturday. Our riders and horses did really well. Stan rode Lucy in the Long Stirrup Hunter and did awesome! It was only his second show! Carlos showed Nighthawk in the 2'6" Special Hunter and was champion and reserve. Nighthawk just keeps getting better. It was Lauren's first show with  Aramburo Equestrian and we are so happy to have her with us! She and her horse Haley did really well in the Children Hunter. It was a great weekend hanging out with our little group. On saturday, everyone went out to Four Winds to have dinner with Peggy. The food was delicious!

BLOWING ROCK 2010

July 28 - August 1
August 4 - 8
Blowing Rock, NC

We finally made it to the Blowing Rock horse show and it was a blast. Of course we had crazy Blowing Rock weather but it was well worth it. The horses were great and riders were awesome. We started out the first week with Fandango and Carlos, Chuck and Abby, Wilson and Sandy, and Oriental and Carlos, and Roy and Elizabeth on the weekend. They all did really well even in the dense fog! Fandango did the 1.05m and 1.30m classes. Chuck and Abby did the Children Hunters and a couple medal classes. Wilson did the 3' pre-green hunters with Carlos and the Adult Hunters with Sandy. On the weekend, Oriental did the 1.30 class and the 1.30m Russell Hall Memorial Speed class. Last but not least, Roy and Elizabeth did the Short Stirrup Hunters.
At the end of the first week we got all dressed up and went to the Blowing Rock Gala. It was a night of food, conversation, and dancing. So much fun!
The second week's weather wasn't as foggy and the horses were even better. Fandango and Carlos won the 1.05m class and ended up 9th in the 1.35m L.P. Tate Jumper Classic! Oriental and Sophy were 6th in the 1.05m class and 6th in the L.P Tate Jumper Classic with Carlos! Abby and Chuck did the Children Hunter division and were really good as well as Elizabeth and Roy in the Short Stirrup Hunters.
Overall it was a successful two weeks. We all had tons of fun hanging out and catching up with friends. Cant wait for next year!

SEDGEFIELD JULY

July 17-18, 2010

Greensboro, NC

It turned out to be a very wet and rainy weekend at the Greensboro Horse Show. On friday, poor Abby and Chuck had to school in the storm. Saturday wasn't much better. It rained on and off the whole day and the show had to be put on hold about three times because of lightning! Crazy weather...but although the weather was bad, the horses were really good. Joe Cool did really well for Carlos and Cait. We took Fandango to the show to practice a little before going to Blowing Rock and he was a superstar. Abby went to the show to try Chuck to see if she would be able to take him to Blowing Rock since her horse, Wiley, is hurt. Anyway, sunday was a much prettier and sunny day. The horses were even better and Abby decided to definitely take Chuck to Blowing Rock. So, overall it was a really good weekend.
