Sarah Botthof’s Bronx Balou stepped it up to the high ct hunters with two wins over fences and reserve champion.

Kat Kronengold’s tasty little Irish powdered doughnut , Erin Go Bragh, won two training hunter classes earning him champion . For an inexperienced fella , he’s pretty smart. His previous owners said he went to bed early and read a lot …🤓

Catching up on some showing ! We had many riders compete at The Pines Hunter Derby on a beautiful course and day. Everybody had excellent rounds . Some unfortunate errors kept some out of the ribbons although everybody had at least one stellar round !

Full Circle Farm Full Circle Farm is one of the leading horse boarding stables in the area, offering first class equestrian services and amenities for your beloved equine companion.

Last week at Old Salem‘s summer Jumper classic 2*, Ludovico P.D. and Kristen had some great shapes!
They also earned a fantastic third place finish out of a field of 64 entries in the 1.20 M speed class.

Thank you to Peter Leone for the excellent coaching. And also thank you to Vanessa Ryan, we could not have done it without you!

Talent and hard work isn’t everything, you need the right people and team around you to be successful!

Last week we had a lovely outing at Blue Dog Farm for some team building and off the property experience.

Thank you, Liz Drolet, and Blue Dog Farm 😁

Off the property , non-competition outings are great to help new horse and rider partnerships to get to know each other. It’s also great confidence boosting for those who do not get to go to competitions often and want to go to another facility without any pressure🌸

To catch up on a recently past one day show at the Pines in July :
Natalie Reinhart won several classes for Champion in her Modified Adult Equitation division .

Sara Botthof and her Bronx Balou had great rounds on the hunt course for great 2nd places in the Low adult hunters.

We had such a fun and wonderful day out on the Pines hunt course!

Thank you to Harper Cocola and Vanessa Ryan for your help this day😊🌷

Congratulations to our FCF competitors last week at Princeton ShowJumping !

Ludovico PD and KG won two of his 1.20 classes for champion in the division !
His “brother” Hijack had to settle for 2nd and 7 th place behind him in corresponding classes!

Cara Bailey and her Chabalou IK earned 5th, 3rd and 3rd in the open 1.10 classes! It’s wonderful to see his pair develop into a trusting team and watching their talent bloom together !

These pairs are great examples of what Full Circle is focused on : Understanding your horse, yourself and developing a skill set that brings the team together for progress!

Full Circle show riders had a busy few weeks with all the shows going on, but I’ll start with the most recent one!

Thank you to Sally Hinkle Russell and Mystic Valley Hunt Club for another high-quality show this past Saturday.

Although there is no picture of them, Natalie Reinhardt and Chance Of A Lifetime had a clean sweep of their modified adult Hunter division for champion!
