This talented Thoroughbred gelding received multiple Championships and a Reserve
in his divisions and really strutted his stuff for his first time in the show ring. Arbitration
came to CHF just a few weeks before traveling to St. Louis and Kyle is very pleased with his progress.
Congratulations Marion! We are so happy to have you with our team. Kyle and Arby are pictured below.

Krista Worzalla had in incredibly successful debut with Paris in the Low Children's Jumpers
and even moved up to the Highs by the end of the week. Way to go Krista! They are pictured below.

finishes in the Adult Hunters along with a Championship. Adagio Z also had
a successful debut in the First Year Greens with Kyle Dewar. Congrats Thea!

In typical style, Kathy Frame placed in fine form in the Amateur Owner Jumpers with Breezy,
McGrath and Alley. She even came away with the win in the Welcome Stake in Week 1.
Congrats Kathy!
