Burberry takes $10K Hunter Classic
Brandie Holloway wraps up a very successful Winter Circuit 
Week 6 of the Arizona Winter Festival brought another round of tricolor ribbons to Brandie Holloway's Equi-Venture Farm. Brandie and Exchange sale horse "Burberry" not only finished the week as Champions in the Regular Working Hunter division, but also took top honors in the $10,000 Fast Lane Farm Hunter Classic.
 
Burberry Wins 10K ClassicThis wraps a very successful six weeks in the sun for this team, which also includes young rider Hunter Holloway who competes with Burberry in the Small Junior Hunter division.
 
Total Circuit Tally:
13 blues; Champion Regular Working Hunter (Wk. 6); Champion Small Jr. Hunter (Wk. 4); Reserve Champion Small Jr. Hunter (Wk. 2); Winner THIS Childrens Medal (Wk. 4); 2nd place Jr/AO Hunter Classic (Wks. 4 & 5); Winner $10,000 Fast Lane Farm Hunter Classic (Wk. 6).
 
That's quite a Circuit! Visit Burberry's listing page here.  
Ashby Our newest listing Ashby is making the long trip from Canada to show in the 3'3" Pregreen Hunters at the Atlanta Spring Classics with trainer Jackie Tattersall of Absolute Equestrian. Ashby is ready to move up to 3'6" but owner/breeder Nancy Fagan smartly wants to preserve green status for Ashby's new owner. Ashby was Pregreen Hunter Champion of his Zone for the Ontario Hunter Jumper Assoc. last year, and Baby Green Champion in 2007. He also has a slew of Young Horse awards, including a 3rd place of 62 as a 3 y.o. in the Governor General Cup at the 2005 Royal Winter Fair. Ashby is the son of Nancy's beautiful grey stallion Asher, and has an ideal temperament and style for amateur riders. View Ashby's listing and video here.
TheNewYorkerEveryone was pretty happy with The New Yorker's performance Week Four of the Gulf Coast Winter Circuit as he won the WIHS Hunter phase, took 2nd in the Maclay, 3rd in the USEF & WIHS Jumper phase, and 4th in the USEF Talent Search. But now he has truly outdone himself.
 
After coming in 3rd in the Talent Search Week 5, owner Alex Biederman & "Ollie" decided to try their hand at the real jumper ring and entered the 1.3m Jr/AO Jumpers. The pair ended up winning a class and taking Reserve Champion in the division. "Ollie" competed well in the Regular Working Hunters last year and is always a handy ride in the jumper medals . . . certainly no one doubted his scope, but clearly he has more than scope alone. This horse is incredibly versatile for any rider still discovering their interests - hunters, equitation or even Jr/AO Jumpers?! What a partner to move up with. View The New Yorker's listing and video here.
 
While this idea originally brewed in 2005, my interest was renewed by a recent announcement from USEF regarding a new non-profit organization, "Big Eq Dreams" that will secure 3'6" Medal horses, by donation, and offer them to young riders whose goals are burdened by truly legitimate financial concerns.
 
I'm not going to bother shooting holes in it here, they were blown out on COTH. I wholey applaud the motivation and intent, and hate to squash the miniscule ray of hope it provides, but I really can't get over what I see as obvious flaws.
 
Alternative concept: In keeping with the constructs are already in place, reward a different set of traits. Read more . . .
The Winter Circuits are wrapping up and we're preparing our spring DVD. Now is the time to list if you want to participate in upcoming horse show distribution. Visit our Sell A Horse section for Registration documents, or just give us a call at 1.866.515.4424.
