The Cold Spring Farm team took on the OCHSA Championship show this week! Amanda Wood and Ellen Gates’s Never Better brought home a champion ribbon in the 2’9” Open Equitation! Lauren Pederson and Heck Yeah competed in their first hunter derby, walking away with new goals and some great moments.

Katie Meyer and Lauren Pederson’s Heck Yeah walked away with some great ribbons in her crossrails division, her biggest accomplishment was winning her very first equitation over fences medal class! Walking away with a sash and a prize!

Congratulations to Helen for purchasing Faye, a 14 year old Imported KWPN mare! Faye has show results through 3rd level, earning a bronze medal and has schooled through 4th level! She is such a fun personality to have around the barn!

This week the team spent their days at the beautiful Del Mar Racetrack for the Jumpnee Seaside Equestrian Tour! Amanda aboard Ellen Gates’s Never Better had an increasingly successful week, grabbing a 2nd out of a field of 18 riders in the 2’9” Modified Hunters. All week the pair were putting down well ridden and strong rides. Lauren Pederson aboard her own Heck Yeah! grabbed a 4th out of a field of 15 riders in the .70s open jumpers. This was the pair’s first rated show as team and they walked away with lots of experience. Despite a bit of rain and a broken boot, the CSF team had a great time showing at Del Mar!

A huge congratulations to Jenna and Kaynin on your engagement! Your Cold Spring Family could not be more excited for you! Your love story is one for the ages!
