WALKING AND TALKING!!! 3’3” performance hunter edition. Yes I did the hunters. After the race horse last year I wanted to try the hunters next. A new discipline is always a challenge and the hunters are definitely challenging in interesting ways so let’s see how I did. Steve, the horse I rode was such an amazing guy and I am so great for his ability to put up with me today. Thank you so much @halierobinson and @lucianagso for the experience.
What a special week 🧡 we had the honor of introducing the one & only Simba De Vinck to California, now part of @lucianagso wonderful family 🤩🦁 he amazed us all by winning every single class he entered in the 3’9 Green, with scores as high as 92, and capped off his week by winning the National Derby with more 90’s! So grateful to @kconover84 & @evan_coluccio_official for trusting us with this amazing creature 🥰 Nolevus also jumped double clear in his first night class in the 1.35 Futurity series for a great finish! What a privilege it is to ride them both, so excited for their future 🌟
Not a bad first week 🤩 Simba De Vinck made it 6 for 6 class wins at Desert III, taking victory in the $10,000 USHJA Hunt & Go with scores as high as 90 🏆

Nole was on a roll 🎲 🏎️ Halie Robinson and her own “Nolevus” were clean and fast to take 7th 🏆 in the $10,000 Futurity 1.35 classic out of 33 up and coming young horses.
The future is bright for this horse, just a few weeks into his show career in the states 🤩
It was a roaring success for Simba De Vinck in his California debut, taking 🥇🥇🥇in the 3’9 Greens to kick off our Desert Week III 💪
We are so excited for @lucianagso on her super new horse 🦁

@halierobinson making us miss Valkenswaard a little extra today! What a lovely take on The Baran from Pridessional Hunter Rider, Halie Robinson and what a joy for us all to witness history in the making. 🏆😍
It’s not many times your first Indoors ends with Grand Hunter Champion, Best Child Rider, High Score awards, multiple championships & sweeping the podium on every single mount multiple times! I am so incredibly proud of @lucianagso for not just these results, but all the hours of hard work, focus, and determination that got her here. There are not many kids that practice for 6+ hours a day, come to the barn every single day without fail, and regardless of what results come in any given day remain as gracious and as appreciative as she does. I am so grateful to get to be her coach & can’t believe this is only the beginning - and only her third year of riding! Thank you to Marvin, Jazzie, Bruce, Stevie, Danny, and Dos for being such incredible teachers for her this season, her wonderful family, and our whole team for creating these moments we will always cherish!
We believe the best results come from programs that always put the horse first, and that’s something Huntridge founder and #bkbeliever Halie Robinson has built her career around:
“BoneKare has become a baseline supplement for all of our horses. In addition to having a wonderful team, I greatly credit BoneKare with keeping our horses healthy and sound. At this level a lot is asked of our horses week after week, and BoneKare is one of the many components we rely on to ensure our horses not only feel their best, but can continue doing so for years to come. Specifically, BoneKare has been hugely instrumental in prolonging the careers of our older athletes. They feel younger everyday!”

A million thank you’s to these once in a lifetime 🦄s for so many special moments & memories! Couldn’t have asked for a better month in the Bluegrass State 💛🍀🌿🌳 see you next year Kentucky!
