Old Agoura Reyes Adobe Days Gymkhana/Playday - Happy Birthday, Hannah!

These special shows only come once a year so we knew we had to go! Before the rising costs of insurance and the rarity of volunteers, Old Agoura was host to some of the best shows in the West Valley. It is truly a close-knit community and everyone there was friendly, helpful, and positive.
Helena & Persjaa
The show was run exceptionally well; the announcer was great, the Clown was entertaining, and the judge required all riders to show control of their horse before and after each run.
Ashley & Buck Light
Our Sapphire Crew was exciting and their enthusiasm spread through the park like a California wildfire! Not only was it a fun day but it was a wonderful promotion for Arabians as the announcer kept commenting on never seeing so many Arabians in one gymkhana and making a point of saying how impressed she was by both the girls and the horses!
Hannah & Jade
It was also a special day because it was Hannah's birthday! What an honor she chose to spend it at a horse show and she won her last class, the Single Stake as well!
Kristin & Poet
There were classes there that we had never seen before - Barrier Crawl was fun - you had to dismount your horse, crawl through a box, and mount them then run back. Also, the Big T was interesting but not the kid's favorite exactly!
Julia & Coco
Julia took home the High Point honors in a close race to the finish and won the coveted buckle by Montana Silversmith and donated by our friends at Calabasas Saddlery!
Jordan & Crimson
Egg & Spoon Pairs was a relaxing way to end the day. It was a fantastic event and I just wish we didn't have to wait a year to go back! Old Agoura is a magical place.
