WEF 6 Newsletter
We have officially reached the halfway mark of the 2022 WEF season! The Beacon Hill team had a big week spotlighting on our hunter riders and horses for WCHR Week. Trainer Heather Williams and student Jordan Gibbs both qualified for the Saturday night $100,000 WCHR Peter Wetherill Palm Beach Hunter Spectacular and we are so proud to watch them take on the International Arena under the lights! We were also thrilled to have Maggie Lawrence with us, the recipient of the inaugural Mountain King Ranch Equitation Grant created by the Gibbs family. Maggie got the ride on Indiana Jones for the week, taking lessons with us at our Wellington farm and competing at WEF in the THIS National Children’s Medal 15-17, the Hamel Foundation/NHS 3’3’’ Medal and the 15-17 Equitation. It was an honor to be a part of such a meaningful scholarship and we all look forward to Maggie’s future success and growth in the sport! Checkout some photos of Maggie’s time with us below:
Big thank you to Cynthia Hankins for coming out to our farm again, giving our riders a flat intensive to keep everyone in top shape for the remainder of the season! The first step in any success is building a strong foundation, and we love working with Cynthia to be able to offer our students a new training perspective. Take a look at some photos from one of her sessions below:
