Elvenstar LA Winter Show Winners 

LAEC Opener Horse Show
January 1, 2011

The Childrens Hunter Championship went to 12-year-old Sydney Hutchins (Jim Hagman, trainer) after emerging victorious in each of her jumping classes and earning second place in the under saddle with Cappuccino. Sydney also was a success in her equitation classes, earning blue ribbons in the Onondarka and LAHJA Rosewood medal classes.
“He hasn’t been doing equitation for that long, and he’s really brave and honest to the jumps,” Sydney said. This will be her first year focusing on riding only horses after several years of riding ponies. “I would like to place in the top four in the Onondarka finals this year, because this is my last year in it.”
Another of Jim Hagman’s students, Gail Horrigan, took home a tricolor ribbon when she earned the reserve championship in the Adult Amateur 36 & Over section with her By Design. Gail only competed in one horse show in 2010, because she spent most of the year recovering from two broken bones that kept her out of the saddle for months.
“It was great to show again and really great to go to a nice show close to home,” Gail commented. “With my schedule and the time I dedicate to family, I really enjoy staying close to home. It does my brain good when I am not on the road so much to get to a show, and it allows me to concentrate more on my rides. The weather was beautiful all weekend, and the horses were great.”
