2007 GSDHJA Results

  The Greater San Diego Hunter Jumper Association Awards Banquet was held in January at the Bahia Hotel in Mission Bay.  Hidden Fox Farmers attended in their finery and had a great time.  Shenay Kloss, Lily Garth, and Maddy Villacruz received their Achievement Awards in the Long and Short Stirrup Divisions and Lily got her Green Rider Medal.

The highlight of the evening wasn't the magnificent bird house we won in the raffle.  It was the unexpected presentation of the Sportsmanship of the Year award to our very own Lily Garth!  We were very proud of Lily for being selected for this prestigious award and couldn't agree more that she sets the highest standard of sportsmanship, friendship, and support.  This is the second time an HFF rider has won the trophy.  In 2003 Katrina Fedorka was honored.

March SWF Results

Congratulations to Becca Evans and the HFF horse Big Champ for their Championship in the Long Stirrup Division at our first show this year.  Becca won her equitation class, Champ won his under saddle class, and they got good ribbons over fences.  This pair will be moving up to the 2'3" Green Rider Hunter Division for the March ECHO show.

Lauren Hawley made her debut on Sweet 'N' Low ("Sugar") in the Walk/Trot Divison.  They were very cute, always in the ribbons, and will be a formidable team to beat in the future. 

Change in the Weather

What a beautiful spring we're having!  The purple lilacs and wildflowers are magnificent!  Be sure you take a trail ride through the hills and see San Diego flora at its best!

But watch out!  The snakes are coming out of hibernation and will be basking in the warm sun.  We've got our share of snakes, including rosy boas, gopher snakes and rattlesnakes.  Learn how to recognize the different species.  Backcountry rules dictate that you never put your hands where you can't see them (on a rock ledge above your head, for instance) and be cautious when you pick something up - like a jump or trashcan - because there might be a surprise under it.

PS: Please do not harm any of our wildlife, including rattlesnakes.  They are part of the natural environment, they help control rats and gophers, and they are very shy and not dangerous if you respect their space.

Let's Lease!

The horse show season has started, the sign-up lists are posted, and everyone is practicing for the March  ECHO Show.  It's time to start leasing your favorite horse so you'll be assured of the best ride possible for the summer and show season.  Full and half leases are available on most of our horses and it's First Come First Serve.  Even if you aren't planning to show, it's fun to have a horse that you can call your own.  Please ask your trainer today if she can recommend a lease for you!

Some riders have already started the season with a lease.  Lauren Hawley and Talia Isaacson are sharing Sweet 'N' Low ("Sugar").  Kim Hawley is sharing Phantom with owner Vicki Fedorka.  Jodie Rappe is riding the McQuaid horse Rain.  And Maddy is eagerly awaiting the renewal of her half lease on Sky.  We still have some great horses available, such as Big Champ, Jove, Guinness, and Snickers.
