Pony Jumpers at WIHS!

We were honored to be invited to sponsor the inaugural Washington International Horse Show Pony Jumper Championship last week. Every rider got custom WIHS pins to commemorate their participation in this special class. (Above, Clara Mas posed with hers.)

We saw lots of great, speedy riding, some terrific sportsmanship, and many kiddos patting their ponies. In short, what a great event! We can't wait to watch these young riders grow up in the sport of show jumping. (Special congratulations to Sofia Meluzzi (below), who won the large pony jumper championship in Queen Bee pins.)

Washington was a great show for us in lots of ways. We were so excited to see so many winners in the junior and amateur jumper divisions wearing our pins. Way to go Libby Craddock and Samantha Hill, who were Champion and Reserve Champion In the 1.15 amateur division. Congratulations also to Grace Lowe, who was champion in the 1.20-1.25 Junior division, and Leading Junior Jumper Rider! 

If you had a great Washington wearing Pinsnickety and we haven't mentioned you, please send us your photos and accept our congratulations!

Thanks again to Cara Cheska for inviting us to be a part of the Pony Jumper Championships. Your efforts to make these classes special and memorable for these young riders are so commendable!
