Greetings from warm Florida. We are lucky to be down south considering blizzard after blizzard is hitting Wisconsin.
We wrapped up 3 weeks in Jacksonville, FL and are now in Gulfport, MS. Jacksonville turned out to be a very successful series. Blue Gate Farm's Chapultepec won the Low Jr/AO Jumper Classic during Week 2 beating out 22 other competitors as well as placing 1st and 2nd during Week 3 and ending up Reserve Champion of the Low Jr/AO's. Also noted, our 7 year old mare For Elenor had a no rail week and ended up 3rd in the Low Jr/AO Classic during Week 3 as well.
Not to be outdone by his stablemate, our 7 year old Quick King Z had a great week in the level 4's with 3 clear rounds. We are proud to say he is developing quite nicely.
Almatino 3 was a force to reckon with in the High Jr/AO's winning during the week and placing the 2nd in the Classic on Sunday.
Ending the series on a high note Denise and her new mount Life is Life 15 put on a spectacular performance in Saturday nights $25,000 Grand Prix. They ended up 4th behind her trainer Wilhelm Genn as well as respected Grand Prix riders Bill Lowry and Chuck Waters. Denise and "Riley" posted a double clear score to secure their place out of the 11 horse-rider combination jump off. This new partnership is off to a great start.
We look forward to a wonderful start to the Winter Series in Gulfport, Mississippi and we will keep you updated.
