Congratulations to all the Winners in the Rider Raffle !

A huge thank you to the generous sponsors that donated lessons and products to support the Rider Raffle.  To everyone’s delight, Dr. Cesar Parre stopped by the Show Office to help draw raffle tickets.  One of the most sought after items was a lovely Dressage Shadbelly Coat donated by R.J. Classics and won by Cherie Chauvin of Go Lightly Sporthorses. For the second year in a row, Cherie raised money for Johns Hopkins in memory of her mentor and trainer, Joy Elizabeth Court who lost her battle with breast cancer in 1997.

In 2005, the major task of young horse backing at Hilltop Farm was placed in Michael’s competent hands.
