SGF Competitors Corner: Stone Gate Farm Horse Trials Wrap up Report

Well another SGF Horse Trials in the record books. The rain came at night just as ordered, although lingered a little into Sat morning, the temps were cooler and the footing was much improved after the rain. All in all a great fall weekend for eventing.

Full results can be found on Start Box. In addition to the leather grooming halter winners received a bag of TRM Ireland products and all riders placing first through sixth received a FLAIR Nasal Strip. Many thanks to both TRM and FLAIR for sponsoring awards. Some lucky TB owners also were the recipient of the T.I.P. awards which were sponsored by the Jockey Club and awarded a championship ribbon, a saddle pad with a logo and $100 check. We had many eligible horses who submitted the required entry form and proof of eligibility. Unfortunately there were a couple of owners who didn't get their T.I.P. entry forms and required information in before of the start of the competition and they lost out. The T.I.P. winners are:

   Preliminary: Sue Hines and Flying Four Shoes
   Training: Julie McElhaney and Uprising
   Novice: Amanda Ruane and Angel Fire
   Beginner Novice and Rockin' Rodney
   Starter: Natalie Krill and Firecracker

Please send our sponsors a quick note thanking them for their support. Here are their e-mail addresses: Megan Feltrup from TRM Ireland, Nan Rawlins from FLAIR, and Kristin Hix from the Jockey Club

There were some other special awards. The Summer's Gift Memorial award for the highest placing Young Rider in the Open Preliminary division went to Hannah Zollweg and Itty Bitty Sarah and the Master Beginner Novice Award went to Judith Yaegle and Liam.
