Sommers, CT: Windy Hollow Lilia (Seaborne’s Flagship X HH Greystone Irish Wind), owned by Dr. Amy Plavin, and rider Katherine Short were Champion of the Baby Green Jumpers Division and Reserve Champion of the Low Training Jumpers at the 31st annual Shallowbrook Horse USEF "A" show on June 5-7. Katherine says, “Lil was quite the Connemara ambassador, soaking in all the compliments with grace. Lil went in the ring for each class completely focused and ready for the job. She was all speed in the jump-offs and showed off her usual careful jumping style. We came home with three firsts, two seconds and two fourths on top of the championships! Lil and I are planning on doing more jumpers this summer along with some dressage as we work towards our Golden Shamrock Award from the ACPS. Currently we have a gold in hunters, silver in pony club, award of excellence in eventing, and a bronze in jumpers.” 
May /June 2009 - This is the Awards Issue of the ACPS Magazine, and it is brim full of pictures and bios of successful competition ponies and successful pony club ponies, foxhunters, beloved therapeutic riding ponies, and trail ponies. Equally important for these award winning ponies are their energetic owners. I have discovered as a small time breeder that it takes pretty fancy footwork to get that nice mare of yours who had a lovely foal in April back into competition fit to be accumulating her points for the ACPS achievement awards. And it takes energy and elbow grease to get that fuzzball in your back field in March muscled up and shiny for the show ring in June. The photo above is Maggie and Katy Petersen of Michigan shining up my mare Tower Hill’s Carmody for the Region 5 Mare Class.
