xxxxxxxxMoving on to the next topic, let’s hear a round of applause to the horses joining the ranks of the regional horses before them! Congratulations to AVS Applebottom Jeans who qualified for regional hunters, and Bronze Moon who got regional cross-country, along with Midnight Archer. Glory Bound successfully entered the ranks of regional dressage, and BRR Chevalier Noir got into regional three-day eventing. Last but not least, BRR Through The Dark brought Brumby River Ranch a regional western pleasure qualification, and BRR March To Honor took a regional barrel racing qualification as well.

xxxxxxxxDon’t stop clapping yet, because we have saved the best for last. Please give a warm welcome to the two new Invitationals Worldwide qualified horses, BRR Chevalier Noir and BRR Through The Dark! BRR Chevalier Noir, or Black as he is fondly known as, wowed the scouts with an almost perfect run with neigh but two bucks and a score of 33.26 penalties, earning him both regional qualified and nailing him a spot at the Glasgow Eventing Invitational. BRR Through The Dark, or Dark as she is known at home as, gave the scouts something they could bite into, a score of 68.79 and only a balk that netted her regionals as well as an invite to the Brussels Western Pleasure Invitational.

And that's it folks! Can't wait to see what next week brings, and competitors make sure you remember to pay your vet fees and add your winnings to your bank accounts. If you'd like to see the specifics for how each horse did, thanks to our horse analysts you can! For schooling results click here, and for regional results click here!
