July 9th and 10th found the Stoner Ridge Farm crew in Bowling Green at the RMH Kentucky State Championship (Friday) and the Tavares Championship (Saturday). Unfortunately, Erin had been really sick so she and Charlie weren't able to go with us. With temperatures in the upper 90's, the air conditioned arena provided relief from the oppressive heat. Thursday, a local ice cream maker was on hand to give everyone a sweet treat as we were getting settled in for the show. Robert also gave a dressage demo with Pepper's Just Plain Pretty. Everyone was very receptive. The show began early on Friday. The horses all did really well in their classes. Congratulations to MX Wrangler for his Show Pleasure Championship win and to Penny (conformation) and Blueberry for their reserve championship placings! The Cumberland Rockies included a class called the H.T. Derickson Championship in order to honor H.T. and his life time achievement. Robert had been thinking about it all week. He was riding Blueberry since Charlie wasn't able to come. Robert really didn't want to have to show Blueberry in back to back championship but decided that he would. He thought with her maturity and conditioning, she could make a good showing in both classes. Fortunately, he made a good choice and came out the winner of that big class. H.T. and Wilda had already walked the line-up and shook everyone's hand thanking them for their participation. Lots of pictures were taken and accolades given. We enjoyed being with Tim and Marcia, Jim and Kathy, and Scott and Barrie who were all at the show. We missed Steve and Nancy who were not able to come this weekend. Read more about the show in the Aug. 1st newsletter. See Stoner Ridge Farm winnings below. Congratulations on an outstanding job!
