Foxcroft Riders Compete in Piedmont Jumper Classic

With many new partnerships, some just weeks old, the Foxcroft trainers were thrilled with the consistency of riding and the connections that they were able to help foster between the riders and their mounts. The riders demonstrated technique and thoughtful riding while in the tack as well as good horsemanship as they hand walked and grazed their horses regularly and helped pitch in with all aspects of horse care, including stall picking, dumping, and filling water buckets, raking the aisle, feeding, bathing, and bandaging. The competition was a success on many levels and concluded with the Reserve Championship honors being earned in the Low Children's division by Irene B. ’24 and Pablo.

The riders are enthusiastically taking what they learned from the show and putting it to use in exercises during their lessons and practice rides at home to get ready to compete again at the WIHS Regional show and at HITS Culpeper later this month. 
 
Whether preparing for a competition, learning a new skill in a lesson, or just enjoying a beautiful hack on campus, Foxcroft riders of all levels are having a wonderful fall season and the trainers are so glad to have them here!
