Well, it sure was a successful and exciting year for Celebration Farm! We've experienced great growth over the past year and we have lots of new faces to welcome to our family. I'd like to welcome The Jiangco family and their adorable pony mare "Abbie", and also Lindsay Weick and her beautiful mare Amelia -- we are looking forward to the summer when Lindsay is home from college. I'd also like to welcome Allie Scoffield and her sweet "Baby," I'm really excited to have them aboard! We have a few new horses and I'd like to start by congratulating Laura Ozmun on the purchase of "Long Dream" (aka "Remi"), the beautiful, black, trakehner gelding. We've already had tremendous success with this super, young horse and I look forward to an exciting future ahead. Congratulations to Lyric Kite on her purchase of "Whodunnit" (aka "Dunnit"), the two of them make a darling team and we hope they'll join us for a show or two next year! As far as our show team success this year, our riders and horses couldn't have made me prouder! Madison Edwards and "The Prince and Me", were a huge success starting in the short stirrup divisions and moving up to the beginner division in less than a year. A few of their highlights included reserve champion Short Stirrup equitation at their first horse show, winning the Short/Long Stirrup equitation classic at Infinity Farm at Ledges this summer,

and finishing out the year with a championship in the Beginner Equitation division winning every class out of 25 horses! Laura Ozmun's "Long Dream" had huge success with very limited showing, coming away with Champion or Reserve at every horse show -- he'll be one to watch next year!!! Sophie Phillips had a great season coming away with the tri-color at every show on her lovely "Grand Jete" -- who ended up 4th overall in the Open Hunters after attending only 2 horse shows! It was exciting watching Corry Lane and Jordyn Zoul make their debut in the jumper ring this year, Corry on "Sporting Tango" and Jordyn riding her own "All Betts Are Off", with lots of really nice rounds for them both. Corry was a jack-of-all-trades this year showing multiple mounts in all three rings with lots of ribbons including a 2nd in her first Children's medal over a spooky course, and 2nd in the 15 - 17 equitation at Lamplight -- congrats! Noa Leibson also enjoyed riding a few different ponies this year winning ribbons out of a big crowd at Lamplight, while Hannah Leibson had success winning a 2nd place in huge company this spring. Kara Wolfe has come a long way with her horse "Oh My Stars Clyde" moving up from the Beginner to the Limit Hunters in less than a year, and Hadley Bahr made huge strides on her pony which included a beautiful Short/Long Stirrup classic ribbon at Infinity Farm at Ledges -- great job girls! Last but certainly not least, Kate Wichmann and her jumper mare "Supasta" were impressive this year with their highlights including various championships as well as winning the Jumper Classic at Infinity at Ledges, coming away with 7th in the overall standings with limited showing -- WOW! They have already mastered the 3'9" jumpers and are looking to broaden their horizons in 2010.................... I'd like to thank all of the grooms, families, friends, veterinarians, and riders that have supported Celebration Farm throughout the year, you are an integral part of our success. With the holidays upon us, we wish everyone a warm and wonderful holiday season, and we look forward to a successful year ahead!
