Serenity Farm Show Stables is proud to share the outstanding performance of our clients at the World Equestrian Center Ocala's Summer IV and V horse shows. Over the course of two weeks, our talented equestrians showcased their skills and achieved exceptional results across various rings.
Sadie Remington, riding her two horses, demonstrated talent with the APG Stables Gringo in the Children's Jumpers. Earlier in the week Boy Adrian Van Gelderen rode Gringo to the blue ribbon in the 1.20 Speed class and picked up the Reserve Championship. Their performance earned them fantastic ribbons in both weeks, winning the classic the second week to secure Reserve Champion. Additionally, Sadie and her own Tom Sawyer jumped to the blue ribbon in multiple equitation classes, including the THIS Medal and the USHJA Jumping Seat Medal. In the highly competitive $10,000 USHJA National Hunter Derby Jr/Am, Sadie and Tom achieved a commendable twelfth-place finish.

In the jumper ring, Sophia piloted Halifax Van De Conynenberg to excellent trips in the 1.20m Jumpers along with a 4th place finish on Mochito V/D Mishagen in the Medium Jr Jumpers.
