Author: Sunni Dils | Filed under: NewsStonecrest Farm is thrilled to welcome two additions to Stonecrest Family this month. First, we would like to welcome Peter, a 9 year old Oldenburg gelding. Peter has come to Stonecrest to be in our complete training program. Peter has a year of dressage training under his belt and is now focusing on the hunters. We look forward to Peter’s first hunter show at the Purina Mills Hunter Classic, where he will be competing in the Very Green Hunters. Secondly, we are very happy to announce that Stardust has returned to Stonecrest Farm to get in shape in order to begin his medium pony hunter career. Stardust is the son of Stonecrest Farm’s Small Pony Hunter, Gold O’ Mine. We cannot wait for both Kaitlynn Morefield and Zoie Dils to begin showing Stardust this fall.
We would also like to congratulate all of riders, who earned top ribbons at the Showtime Spring Classic in May. You all did a wonderful job! Special congratulations go out to Mary Grace Palmer who placed 9th in the Otterbien Medal. Also congratulations to Kate Morrison for her reserve championship in the Children’s Hunters. Finally a big congratulation goes out to Zoie Dils who placed 3rd in a very large short stirrup equitation over fences class at her very first short stirrup horse show.
On a much sadder note Stonecrest Farm’s thoughts and prayers are with Kathy Rizzoni, who had to say goodbye to her beloved partner, Maximus. Maximus, who was known better around the barn as Nash, has moved on to greener pastures in the sky. We will miss this wonderful horse and will never forget all the happy memories we were so fortunate to share with him. RIP Nash and all of thoughts are prayers are with you, Kathy.
