  • Johnson Wins BIG at Walnut Hill with Bliss' Ponies

    Congratulations to Black Prong's Course Designer Marc Johnson, who won BIG at the Walnut Hill Carriage Driving Competiton in Pittsford, NY.

    Marc won both Pony Unicorn / Four-in-Hand and Tandem Championships, Concourse d' Elegance and Best Gentleman's Turnout on the Pleasure Drive.

    He drove Ann and Ned Bliss' Ponies Midi, Kanga, Tommy and Echo. Johnson explained, "They were all wonderful to drive and made it possible to edge out Katie Whaley, who has set the standard for this show for many years."


    "A Day of Driving, Featuring Dressage and Cones"

    Maureen and Alan Aulson invite the public to enjoy a unique Carriage Driving event in their hometown of Georgetown, MA on Saturday, September 27 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. titled "A Day of Driving, Featuring Dressage and Cones." The Aulsons are co-sponsoring the event with the North Shore- based Myopia Driving Club. The event will take place at 214 North Street in Georgetown, MA, hosted by Pete and Rosaleen Zibell.

    Event admission is free. General Parking is available by donation to ERIE 4 Volunteer Fire Dept, and a limited number of Reserved Tailgating Spaces with great event-views are available for a suggested $20+ donation. (Advance reservations are encouraged for tailgating spaces; call event coordinator Pam Biggi to reserve at 603-944-2158.) Event proceeds will benefit Myopia Driving Club and the ERIE 4 Volunteer Fire Dept.

    The Zibell's farm is a northern extension of Black Prong, the internationally-renowned equestrian training and event center in Bronson, Florida. The dressage ring was created by Wayne Winters and Bill Wilson, who created the rings at the Florida facility. Marc Johnson, Black Prong's Course Designer, is designing two cones courses for the event, featuring Black Prong's signature 2-part course layout.

    "We invite the public to bring their friends and family and make a fun day of it," explains Alan. "This unique event is fun and exciting to watch, and it's also a beautiful time of year to tailgate and picnic - whether people bring their own lunch, or choose to support the fundraiser by purchasing food at the event."

    We look forward to seeing you there!
