ZEPHYR FARMS

It was great to see all of you at the April show at Zephyr Farms. We were lucky to have decent weather this year to kick off the show season. Hope to see everyone at the June show. Remember it will be two days, with Jumpers on Saturday & hunters on Sunday. Look for our Jumper Jackpots! They were popular so we are holding them again. We would like to congratulate the new owners of Harley and Calypso. Best of luck! Congrats to all of Zephyr Farms students who rode at both the ZF show and at Cloverleaf, winning lots of ribbons and having a great time. See you at the shows!

MAPLEWOOD STABLES

We had two great weeks at the Oaks! Kevin was show champion 1.4 meter jumpers with Osilvis, 2nd in the 6 yr olds and 4th 2nd year Green Hunters with On Star. Tara and NV placed in every Large Pony Hunter class, Amelia was show champion Children’s Jumpers with Prix D’Amie (their first outing together) and Dean was 2nd Adult Amateur Jumpers with Waltz in Time. Back in Reno, we kicked off the season at Zephyr Farms and Cloverleaf Equestrian – and brought home plenty of ribbons. Maplewood riders, past and present, enjoyed the World Cup Finals in Las Vegas – over 20 attendees in all! Our second Horsemanship Clinic with Rebekka Rhodes, which included some rider participation, was great. The first Osilvis foal of the season is on the ground and she is stunning! Speaking of foals, we expect our three in June and the 3 yr olds are starting under saddle, so come check them out!

RED ROCK HOUNDS

RRH finished up the hunt season with three incredible days in Montana. 75 hounds and 100 guests joined us from all over the world. We’d love to see you there next year! Remember, John Charlebois will be here June 1-2, and our Horse Show is June 3. We are changing gears for the show season, with many of our Juniors and Adult Amateurs hard at work. Andrew Jayne is preparing for the National Pony Club Tetrathalon Finals in Kentucky in July. Best of luck! Angela Murray heads to the MFHA Centennial Field Hunter Championships with her wonderful mare, Guthrie, Memorial Day weekend. Congratulations to our Field Hunter competitors - Jerry Dugan, Andrew Jayne, Shelby Rector, and John Schafer, and Angela Murray ... we blew the doors off at Woodside last month. It won't be long before we head to Virginia City with hounds and horses in tow for the 4th of July parade and festivities!
