Congratulations Ashlin Rae and Tippy Toes!!!!!!!

                                             2019 Green Rider Medal Final Champion!!!!

                                                    Leading the victory gallop!!!!

Ashlin and her new pony "Tippy Toes" had the most amazing show together, they won the 2019 Green Rider Medal Finals (the youngest rider by a far) - after completing the first over fences courses each competitor will go back in the ring, with OUT the help of their trainer or parent each must perform the work off.  It consists of 5 or 6 jumps out of order, a trot fence, a halt and a circle.  The directions are given verbally 3 times then the rider must walk in the ring and ride it.  You don't know the work off until that moment, so you have to memorize the number of each fence. The medal finals are some of the hardest classes to compete in because of this aspect. Ashlin performed it flawlessly!  She lead the victory gallop!  Together they also won a jumper class and another hunter over fences.  Ashlin has only had Tippy Toes for one week.  I could not be more proud!
