2011

Still taking more horses into my training program! All horses welcome- no matter what age or discipline! Campaigning show horses is available!! Winter circuit is about to start up! Please PM for more information! xoxo, MH Gurganus

Richmond did his first  two St George classes at Region 1 GAIG's this October and was 2nd in his first class w a 65% and won his 2nd class w a 68%!  I am so proud of my baby boy!  He has jumped from 3rd level to PSG all this year and has proven to me that he is ready for the Developing Horse or small tour next season!  Im a proud mamma!  Also Alyeska made her debut at 2nd level and put in some billiant moments!  This mare is a GP superstar in the making!!!  Proud of my girl!!

Richmond was a rock start at Dressage at Devon he placed in all but one of his 4th level classes amongst the top 4th level horses in the country!  We just started our 4th level campaign mid season this year so I am so so proud of my boy for putting out such a consistent performance! 

Bought my very OWN horse, in a really long time!  I am really excited to say that my mom and I are the new proud owners of Waltz!  A beautiful bay three year old HANN baby boy (with lots of chrome :) ) out of the Weltmyer line!  He is stunning and a total angel! 

Richie pulled his 2nd hat trick AND even made his debut at 4th Level!  And I am so happy to say that I am now half owner of this amazing young stallion!  I love this horse!   

Selected by NCDCTA to ride in their Henk Van Bergen Symposium , May 20-22!  Riding Alyeska, my fabulous young horse in the YH spot!  Very excited!!!

ALSO, THE FIRST ANNUAL YOUTH FUNDRAISER CLINIC WAS A HUGE HUGE SUCCESS!  WE RAISED $1673!!!  I HAVE SELECTED KONNOR EDWARDS OF WILLIAMSTON, NC AS THE RECIPIENT OF THE SCHOLARSHIP!!  SO EXCITED FOR HER AND HER TRAINER!  WAY TO GO GIRLS!  XOXO, MH
