What an amazing weekend!! I know you are all patiently waiting for results and photos, but hope you enjoyed the live streams!
Tiffany is traveling tonight to attend a retreat with our partner rescues in the Full Circle of Life Horse Shelter Network and will be away from the internet much of the week ... but we will try to get things updated as quickly as possible. For now, how about the placements?
 
2024 Dakota Showdown Horse Trainer Challenge
High Point Grand Champion: Terra & Annika Greaney of @Red Line Equestrian!!
High Point Reserve Champion (by less than 1 point): Horace and Bryan Roselles!!
 
Showcase Division:
1st place: Terra & Annika Greaney
2nd place: Horace and Bryan Roselles
3rd place: Hazel & Jade Thompson
4th place: Albert and Tim Van Dyke
5th place: Luna and Stetsen Fedders
 
Foundation Division:
1st place: Dice & Mackenzie Barnett
2nd place: Cinna & Jay Westerbur
3rd place: Jabberwocky & Beth Stahlecker
4th place: Kodi & Kaylee Peel
5th place: Smokey & Kaylee Peel
6th place: Lucy & Kaylee Peel
 
Lucy did not compete in freestyles as we are having some medical concerns and Kaylee felt it was in her best interest not to compete. Also, remember Kodi was Long Haul and was not expected to compete, and Smokey just got to Kaylee 6 weeks ago - so they made amazing progress!
 
And of course, our Rising Star Marlee Stortroen with Navy did very well! Had she been competing in Foundation, they would have been around third!
 
So far Horace, Dice, Jabberwocky, Terra, Albert, and Navy have been adopted! Dice and Jabberwocky went home with their trainers!!
 
Let's find homes for the rest in the next 30 days!
