Cecillia Machado Age 13 From: Reading, Pa Pony Name: River Boat Blues we will be showing in the medium greens. Fun fact: No matter who Princess gets turned out with- every one falls in love with her and then we have to separate them.
Devyn Borden Age: 12 From: Purcellville, VA Pony’s Name: My Sweet Sadie “Sadie” Division: Large Green Pony Hunters Fun fact: I have owned Sadie since I was 6 years old she was my first pony. I have competed her in the mini stirrup division up through the regular large pony hunters and the medals. Sadie is sweet to people but is always the boss with other horses. Her favorite treat is peppermint puff candy and she is known around the barn for her great knees and big jumps. When I am not riding Sadie I am working with my new jumper horse and picking up as many rides around the barn as I can.

Ella Ella Doerr Pony: Woodlands Kennedy Showing in the regular medium pony Fun fact : I love going swimming on ponies
I first rode my pony, “Missy,” when I was 3 years old at Mike Plumb’s farm. in Southern Pines, NC. She was an event pony and in training with him. I would go to his farm for leadline lessons. Years later I had a chance to buy her. At 23 years old, I took her to one “A” show in 2016 to qualify her for last year’s Pony Finals in the large green division. At the last minute, with only one horse show left to qualify, I decided to do it all again this year and took her to one show since last year’s Pony Finals and was able to qualify her again for 2017 in the regular large division and the equitation. This will be my final show with Missy. At 24 years old, she has certainly earned a happy retirement.
