 Summer 2009 News Great success for the Merrychase horses this summer. Carlingford Fred and Carol just won the half bred Irish hunter class at the famous upperville horse show. Carribruaha (Bobbie) and Carol had 4 clear rounds at the Loudoun Benefit horse show and ended up 1st and 2nd and took home Reserve Champion. Just A Minute (Mini) and Anthea Greene were reserve champions at the Foxchase farm jumper show in the children adult jumpers. The Old Dominion ride just had their second endurance ride at Orkney Springs, Virginia. It was a huge success and entries were up. Gus was again trail master again and it all went off very well. A great weekend was had by all.
Vicki and Stephen are here and hunting 3 days a week. They also finished the Orange County hunter pace and just had the best time. Carol continues to have great success with Carribruaha (Bobbie) with 3 clear rounds at the famous Upperville Horse Show, training with Joe Fargis and Kim Keppick. The pair had a great summer. They also won the the ridden Irish half breed class at Upperville in 2007 and placed second in the in hand class. So there were lots of celebrations.
Gus was trial master for the New Old Dominion ride. Its new location is Orkney Springs, Virginia, 5 minutes from the Bryce resort. Gus put together a 100 mile trail, which was a great success. They ran a 100-mile, 50-mile and 25-mile endurance ride in June. A great weekend was had by all. We have two
new additions to Merrychase: Gladys Politis who Gus brought home
