Devon Hunt Teams are so fun!

Belle Libbie Gordon had a great time at Devon and she shared a little with us in her blog:

 This year at Devon I did hunt-teams with Julia Zug and Lorimars Signature and Bella DiBennedetto and her pony Goldfish.  Our team name was “Heroes” and we dressed up in camouflage and so did our ponies.  They wore the cutest caps with the American Flag on the front.  

Custom matching bows

And, Mrs. Stacie made us the cutest bows that matched perfectly.  It was a blast!!!  We had so much fun and ended up in second place! 

In the regular smalls and mediums… my ponies were very good!  I had a great time seeing all my horse show friends that I don’t always get to see that often.  I can’t wait until Pony Finals so I can see everyone again.

Next, I am off to Conyers, Ga at the Georgia International Horse Park… and I am hoping they have their pony derby where we get to ride in the big Olympic arena.  Then I will be spending 2 weeks in Lake Placid… and they have great fireworks over July 4th… over Mirror Lake.. so much fun!  

 Thanks for Sharing with us Libbie! Good luck this summer! #GoteamBelle!

Shetland pony races at Devon 

Libbie Gordon had a great Winter Circuit In Ocala

Telyanu Ballerina and Libbie

This year I got to spend the winter down in Ocala! I got the chance to ride some really nice ponies, like Gametime, Her Highness, Saddle Sold Separately, Wooland’s Polar Bear, Costal Sunset, and Magic Word. I also got the chance to model and hack Devil Mint, Peterpotamus, and R Cinderella Man. I was really nervous about riding other peoples ponies but was a lot fun in the end. My ponies, Baby Blue, Tiffany Blue and Bieber, were also a lot of fun to! I had to work on a lot of things like shortening and lengthening but it all work out in the end because in ended up circuit champion in the smalls on Baby Blue and Reserve Circuit Champion on Tiffany Blue in the mediums. I was really excited because there were a lot of great competition.

This season at HITS i got to bring back one of my first small ponies, Telyanu Ballerina, back from injury. It was a long two years, but I finally got to shoer in the children's ponies at the end of circuit.  
In Ocala, I got the chance to spend time with my friends on and off of the show ground. I also got to meet a lot of new as well. It was a little frustrating going to the tutor Monday thru Thursday but it all worked out in the end because l was all caught up with school at the end of the circuit. 

Tiffany Blue and Libbie

The best part about the circuit was probably riding my first green pony, Glenhaven’s Astoria. This was the most fun part about Ocala because not only were the owners so supportive, but I qualified her for Pony Finals! Thank You to everybody for making this Hits so special. I can’t wait for Devon! 

See you at the shows!

From Devon To Norfolk Hunt a historical weekend

This weekend is home to some of the oldest horse shows in the Country. The very famous Devon Horse Show started in 1896 in Devon, PA and The Norfolk Hunt Horse show in Medfield, MA celebrated its 104^th year. Both of these shows have earned the designation of a USEF Heritage Competition which is reserved for those competitions that have been in existence for a quarter century or more, promoted and grown equestrian sport, and made a contribution to the community outside the gates of the horse show by achieving, maintaining and promoting the equestrian ideals of sportsmanship and competition. We were lucky enough to have riders wearing our beautiful bows and representing us in both of these prestigious shows.

We want to send out a big congratulations to Small Pony Hunter champion Zayna Rizvi and her pony Rollingwoods Knee Deep. She rode beautifully and took home the coveted small pony championship. Zayna also rode her other pony Rolling Stone in the small ponies and received great ribbons. Zayna was wearing a set of Lavender custom printed show bows made just for Devon with both of her ponies names on them. But Devon wasn’t all serious for this little rider, she also participated in the Pony Hunt teams and dressed up as a minon.

Also riding in the small ponies at Devon was our Belle, Maggie Junkin and her pony Foxlair Fantasia. They had great rides and got ribbons over fences and in the pony hunt teams. Maggie wore custom bows in Devon blue and looked fantastic. She also had a set of custom bows to match her shadbelly.  She was dressed up as a snowman from the Movie Frozen with her hunt team. They placed 2^nd! Foxlair Fantasia “Fancy” also competed in the leadline class with a little friend and placed 2^nd out of a very large crowd. Fun was had by all in this team.

Caroline Ellis and her pony Pride Rock did an amazing job showing in the medium pony hunters at Devon placing very respectably in her over fence classes. Caroline was wearing a set of custom shorty bows that she and her mother designed themselves. She looked like a pro with perfect braids and was spotted on the Chronicle of the Horse’s website with her chic look.

From Leadline to the small pony hunters our bows were spotted all over Devon! 

At The Norfolk Hunt show there were bows everywhere. It was a nice day on the grass hunting fields and everyone had a great day. The pet pony winner Nina Wordell and her pony Summer sported some Belle Bows with our signature pony on them. Looking fabulous! We were there to catch the action.

What a great weekend of shows and bows! If you want to be a part of our winning team please contact us. We are looking for more pony riders to join us.
