Last Saturday Oldfields equestrian center hosted a “mock” horse show for our young riders ages 6 to 12 to prepare them for upcoming horse shows. Eight young riders dressed up in their horse show attire and put on a good show for all who came out to watch. Thanks for cheering on our young riders!
Monday December 26th was the annual childrens hunt with the Low Country hounds! A day in which the fox hunt is taken over by children!
Oldfield had three junior riders participating! Allison Burch, riding Dreamsville, led the entire hunt riding with the master of the hunt, Dr. Mark Shambley. Maggie Faciszewski riding Ginger, was at the front of the third field, and Lourdes Low, just 6 years old, rode her pony Teddy in third field ponyed along side Joe, ridden by Jude.
On November 12th three young riders from Oldfield participated in a horse show at Palmetto Bluff. Lourdes low participated in her first horse show ever and won a blue ribbon aboard her pony Theodore .
Maggie Faciszewski rode in her second horse show ever and her first horse show jumping. She won three red ribbons riding Theodore .
Allison Burch , the veteran of the group rode her horse Dreamsville in the Equitation division and placed fourth. Well done girls!
Welcome our new pony, Joe! Joe is an 11 year old 14 hand black pony of undetermined breed. Joe is a good size for both children and small adults. WE are getting him accustomed to his new surroundings and the trails and beginning to use him in our programs. Come say hello to Joe!
Congratulations to our young rider Ms. Allison Burch, for winning equitation Champion at the horse show last weekend held at Staffordshire Equestrian Center in Georgia! Allison was competing her horse, Dreamsville, aka “George”, a Hanoverian gelding imported from Germany.
Congratulations to our young rider, Maggie Faciszewski!
Maggie competed in her very first horse show on Saturday held at the SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design)Equestrian Center. Maggie rode Oldfield’s lesson horse, Noble,in three classes and won a third, fourth and fifth out of nine riders in each class. Way to go Maggie!!
Warm weather, longer days.Horses starting to shed their fuzzy coats and riders hapily back in the tack. Life is good at the equestrian center!
“Congrats to Ivy and Maggie on their “cross country” ride on Noble and Ginger last week – just about ready for these young riders to go fox hunting! And Kudos to Allison Burch for her successful participation in the two-day Hunter/Jumper clinic conducted by the coaches of the Auburn equestrian team at the university! Way to go , girls!”
Oldfield members love to fox hunt! (Don’t worry, the fox is not harmed and lives to elude the hounds another day!) Pictured are Jude Dontje and members Danny Pincus, JesseRuth Parrish and Allison Burch outside the main house at Ravenwood, a private Plantation just outside of Walterboro, SC where we hunted with the Low Country Hunt recently.
