example of how the class “should” be done. The ghost rider team was compiled of trainers Randy Durand, Carleton Brooks, and Mark Purcell. The men rode bor- rowed ponies and were colorfully dressed as fairies, completely clad in tutus and lipstick. Into the ring they galloped waving at the crowd and blowing kisses. The three began the course following each other,
however, the ponies were appropriately a bit fresh and the guys were gallantly falling from side to side pretend- ing to almost fall off. Duran, Brooks, and Purcell fin- ished the course, a refreshingly funny start to a special class specifically designed for juniors, the stage was set for the entire place to have a great time! It was then the Juniors’ turn. Eight teams navigated
the course, with varying measures of synchronization, and the crowd showed it enthusiasm and approval with loud clapping, whistles and cheers from every corner of the ring. In the end, the Team of Demi Stiegler, Olivia Smith, and Savannah Dukes took top Team overall plac- ing. Awards were also given for Best Costume to the Team of Bren Blower-Catherine Malzahn-Mckay Murtaugh , and best overall Collaboration to the Team of Zoey Pacyna-Mi- mi Cocquyt-Dani Schneider. The award presentation line up and the victory gallop were both a sight to behold and finished the class in typical Flintridge style. The next morning the teams Bride Baskets were set out
in the patio, and placed in a silent auction fund raising format. Exhibitors had the chance to buy the baskets with all the proceeds going to Huntington Memorial Hospital. In fact, all the proceeds from the entire horse show benefit the hospital. The annual Flintridge Children’s Horse Show is an amaz-
ing show because it is one of the last children’s horse shows in the country; no amateurs can show, so this horse show is just for juniors. Also, this show gives exhibitors the feel of a big horse show but at affordable costs. When look- ing around the show grounds you see smiles spread across everyone’s face.
