"Hope" was a member of our family for almost two decades! She won just about everything there was to win in the pony hunter and pony equitation ring. Winner of the Clifden Trophy an amazing FIVE times, Hope has many state, zone and national awards and championships to her name as well. Hope taught the whole family to ride (and show in style), and enjoyed many years of retirement. Hope was also awarded the ACPS's Camlin Trophy in 2005 for recognition of a career of outstanding achievement of a purebred mare or gelding, demonstrating durability and accomplishment.
