MHC Industry Professional Members, continued...
WELCOME NEW MEMBERS Show announcer and “R” rated jumper
judge Victor Kaneps re-located his Studio Farm from Colorado to Maryland and set- tled in Woodbine. Kaneps grew up around horses in his father’s hunter/jumper barn outside Minneapolis. He received a degree in Economics with a minor in Computer Science from St. Cloud University before moving to Colorado to start Studio Farms. He showed all over the country on the ‘A’ circuit and rode up to the Grand Prix level in Show Jumping. Kaneps has his USEF
‘R’ jumper judge’s card, and has judged at major venues throughout the Southwest and Midwest. Kaneps is also a hunter/jumper breeder. His 2012 Holsteiner/Ha-
noverian Di Nozzo was most recently the 2023 Champion Performance Working Hunter 3’3 at the Mid-States Summer Show in Illinois on June 14. Di Nozzo’s dam sire is Bugatti Hilltop, owned by MHC In- dustry Professional member Hilltop Farm in Colora. Victor is looking forward to meeting Marylanders and exploring judging opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic. Welcome Victor!

We also welcome Fraser Equine in Edgewater to the MHC family.
Fraser Equine is a boarding, lesson, and training barn operated by Bai- ley Fraser. Fraser is no stranger to us – she won T e Equiery’s Perpetual Hunter Award in 2009, at the ripe old age of nine. As we wrote in the July 2009 issue, Bailey “comes from a long line of strong horsewomen. Her mother, Amy Keller, rode hunters as a child on the local and rated circuits. Now Amy competes in team roping with her husband Adam Keller, Bailey’s stepfather and Bucky’s (her horse) farrier. Bailey’s grand- mother, Brenda Lamb, is a long time hunter/jumper trainer based out of Davidsonville. Bailey’s uncle, Tom Boyle, rode as a kid and now builds tack trunks and jumps. Logan, Bailey’s older sister, is also a gifted hunter rider, having won several year-end awards on the local and rated circuits as well as being the runner up for this award.” We are thrilled to see that Bailey has kept her love of horses and made it her profession.
