Adirondack Mountain Horse Show - Sunday 27^th July

After waving off their four-weeker friends early Sunday morning,

ten Pok-O-MacCready riders and six horses headed off to Willow

Hill Riding Camp to participate in the Adirondack Mountain Horse Show.

Passant Elashram a Highlander camper got the day of to a great start by collecting three ribbons in the

Walk Trot class in her first horse show ever. The next class, Walk Trot Canter, was dominated

by Pok-O-MacCready riders. Alex Gigantiello and Emily Poirier took Champion and Reserve Champion of the

division riding two Willow Hill ponies, while Brooke Davis and Heidi Taggart took the opportunity to school

two of the advanced horses – Brad and Intruder. Emily and Alex continued to be successful in the Short Stirrup

division riding Blaze and Jake respectively.

Meanwhile, in the Hunter Field, Intermediate camper Nicole Jarck along with CIT campers Colleen Dunn and

Teonna O’Leary, rode in the Novice Hunter class. Despite not collecting any ribbons due to the large class size

the three girls rode wonderfully. Next was the Regular Working Hunter Class in which Isabel Zahn rode her

horse Brownie to a respectable 3^rd place in the second jumping round. Advanced rider Blake Artuso collected a

well deserved Reserve Champion on the division, with enthusiastic support from fellow ADV campers Alex Bridgewater

and Geoffrey Livsey.
