April 6 -Frederick

Five of us ran the half marathon and enjoyed the
band and fun at the finish line party! April
5 -Swan Lake Jumpers-
A gorgeous day brought plenty of jumpers to Swan
Lake.
Under the watchful eye of her daughter Ashley,
Carrie got us off to a great start in the 2'3s with a Reserve Champion
on Jasper. URC had tough competition in the 2'6s with 16
people in each class. Maria and Sophie were 2nd and 3rd and this
was their first show as a team. Claire and Snax were 6th and this was
Claire's first open show! Rachel and Polar were 4th, 5th and
5th and this was their first show as a team! Jen and young horse were
6th and this was the horse's first jumper show. A long wait before the
3'3-3'6 division left horses and riders a bit lazy but after a bit of a
gallop Ashley and Erin fought off the competition and tied for division
Champion. 
April 18-20 Culpeper
HITS-
My students made me so proud at this difficult
show. All but the pony division had 40+ entries! Erin and
Ollie (1st 3 pics) were 3rd in the Adult Lows, 4th at 3'3 and 2nd at
3'0! Maggie and Crasher (2nd row of pics) were 7th in the 3'3s in
the scary Grand Prix ring :-) :-) and 2nd in the Pony Jumpers. Ashley
with Fred was 4th in the Adult Lows (3rd row of pics) and 7th in the
3'3s with Wally (4th row of pics). Super job guys!!!! 
April 17- URC Trails and Treats-
A beautiful evening for a long mellow (yes,
actually mellow) trail ride. We began with a lovely ride along a
creek-side trial on the east side of Peters Rd. We then crossed
over Peters and dropped down into Stoner's Bluebell covered low
land. A bit of bush-wacking but we finally found a decent river crossing
then trotted through the fields to the old fire road. We followed
the fire road to Stonemetz's hay fields then back down to URC
trails. A beautiful loop! Some nice treats at the end :-)
April 14- NM-MVH Hunter Pace-
The weather couldn't have been better for this
fantastic event! Over 100 teams averaging 4 people or more galloped the
course that began in the fields then after a creek crossing or two took
us through the beautiful woods where some fancy stone walls and several
large logs belonging to some generous estate owners kept
us on our toes. Back out into the
fields for some great galloping. More coops and walls awaited us as we
crossed through some paddocks then on to the finish where port and
mimosas were waiting for the adults and lemonade for the juniors. URC
had 11 competitors with our adult team consisting of Kristin, Erin,
Vicki and Niqui (pictured in the first 5 pictures below) winning 3rd
place, our junior team (last 3 pics) consisting of Melissa, Allie,
Johann and Hannah winning 4th and our mom and son team of Janine and
Johann winning 2nd ! What a great day.
