We’re thrilled to share some fantastic results from an action-packed and competitive WCHR week!
Acazarro Shines in the Hunters
Acazarro and his owner/rider, Paloma Arntsen, made their mark in the AA Hunters, placing in several tough classes during an incredibly competitive WCHR week. Their partnership continues to grow and impress! Meanwhile, Katrina Pattinson took the reins in the 3’3” Performance Hunters, piloting Acazarro to beautiful rounds with scores landing solidly in the 80s. This talented gelding continues to deliver in every ring he steps into.
Quidams Quentin Steps Into the Spotlight
A big congratulations to Patti Tondorf and Jennifer Sun’s Quidams Quentin on an outstanding first show together! They earned top ribbons in the 2’6” Hunters, including an impressive 85 in the Classic round of the 2’6”-2’9” Derby. A partnership that looks like it’s just getting started—with plenty of promise ahead.
Thea Le Comes Back in Style
Welcome back, Thea Le! After her semester abroad, Thea returned to the show ring in winning form aboard Saint Regis, owned by Hope Hattesohl. The duo won a round of the 2’9” AA Hunters and had several strong finishes on the grass. Saint Regis also competed in the 3’ Green Hunters with Katrina Pattinson, delivering consistently beautiful trips and earning all scores in the 80s. What a weekend for this stunning horse!
Welcome Tour de France
We’re also proud to introduce our newest import: Tour de France, owned by Jennifer Meyer.
