GSDHJA Year End Championship Show
Dec. 4 - 9, 2007. Showpark, Del Mar
It rained heavily for most of the show and most of the classes had to be moved to the covered arena. Everyone did the best that they could considering the very wet and tight condititions! I was very proud of all of our horses and riders for dealing very well with the extremely less then perfect conditions.
Courntey Miller scored an 87 in her 18+ Equitation over fences class to take home the Championship ribbon in the class. She was also Reserve Champion in her Open Equitation on the flat.
Mary Kate started out strong winning Champion in her first class which was Maiden Eq on the flat. She was also was Reserve Champ in Long Stirrup over fences as well as in cross rails over fences.
Carlee Roberts beat out a huge field in the Green Rider Medal on Sunday and took home the Reserve Championship ribbon for the class. Even more impressive is that she was the overall year end winner in both the Green Rider 12- division as well as the Low Childrens 12- division. She is also 3nd place overall in her age group equitation. A big congrats to Carlee and Justin!
Breanna Petruzzo scored an 80 and 84 in the very large Mini Medal on Sunday. She ended up 3rd out of a class of 35. She also took some high scores in her Childrens Hunter classic and finished up 3rd in overall year end points in the division. She also finished up 4rth overall in her very competitive open eq age group.
Marge Callahan was Reserve Champion in her Maiden Equitation over fences class as well as taking home some other great ribbons in some large classes.
Danica and Amanda did great at their first year end show taking home several ribbons in some very large classes.

A big thank you to MIRAMAR WHOLESALE NURSERY for providing us with the beautiful plants used for our set up!!!
We have been been doing our very best to keep our horses safe during these devastating fires.
The horses were evacuated from Lucidi Farms very late Sun night over to Showpark in Del Mar. Thanks so much to the help of trucks and trailers from Stacey, Toni, Laura, Phil, and Marge.
We got the horses settled in Sun night and went and stayed with them Mon morning. At about noon on Mon the fire and smoke were getting much to close for comfort. We made to decision to evacuate once again to Imperial Beach. The caravan moved once again and all the horses got there safe and sound. We were offered a large pasture with grass! All the horses were overjoyed to stretch their legs and run. Once they settled down they very much enjoyed grazing on the grass. Thanks to Courtney, Stacey, Dayle, and Susan for staying and keeping on eye on the horses while I went home to check on my animals and the oncoming fire getting closer to my house.
We will keep a close eye all night long on the Chula Vista fire and be ready to move if neccessary. We will keep you posted as things develop.
Wed the fires were finally starting to slow down thanks to the wind settling down. With the threat being down graded, we thought it would be fun to take the short ride over to the beach. We had a great time with Gala, Cowboy, and Chica over at the beach! Check out the pics below. We are still waiting for the evacuation orders to be lifted on our part of Poway.
We returned home on Sat morning to find the place in absolutely great condition!! Other then a great deal of dirt and dust that had blown into our tackrooms from the extreme winds, everything looked great at the barn. Neighborhoods very close by did not fair so well. Thanks again so much to everyone that helped.....we could not have done it without you!
