Another Big Weekend!

Wow! Did we have a fun weekend! Showing Under the Stars was as much fun as I thought it would be. We had Batman & Joker, Little Bo-Peep, a Knight in Shining Armor, a Medic, a Spaceship, a Hummer, and Max dressed up as Santa. Amazing creativity from all participants! The pictures at the bottom are by Shannon Leggett. In addition to the costume class the community riders did a demonstration (check out the picture of Kate McDavid and Timmy), Andrea Tito did a western themed dressage freestyle, and we had the traditional western pleasure, dressage seat equitation and hunter flat and over fences classes. Thank you to Bridgett Hutchens for judging Friday night and Mike Kryszak for announcing.

On Saturday we welcomed a lot of folks to SAPC for Open House. In addition to the usual activities hunter seat and dressage riders had the opportunity to ride for the coaches. Lots of folks stayed to chat with the instructors, equestrian faculty and some even stayed to watch Ashley’s team practice. We really enjoyed meeting everyone and are looking forward to the next open house Nov 20th which will be a riding open house for western and also the same day as our SAPC IDA show.
Sunday Ashley and Carla accompanied the IHSA hunt seat team to Duke. It was a long day for everyone with our team ending up in fifth place. Complete results will be posted shortly.

Next weekend SAPC hosts IHSA Hunter Seat on Saturday and Sunday the IDA Team travels to NCSU for our first show of the season.
