Lexington, Ky.—Aug. 10

After eight years of competing at USEF Pony Finals, Sky Miles is ending her career with a bang.

She didn’t touch a fence all weekend across four rounds of the U.S. Pony Jumper National Championship with Hallie Rush to earn individual gold today in her last competition before retiring to be bred.

There was a four-way tie for silver in tonight’s individual final, and in the end, overnight leader Devi Ferreira and Silver Charm took home that medal after a rail down in the first round. Her winning Zone 10 teammate Tabitha Okitsu and Spoot De La Jourlais took bronze.

Region VI 2018 Report

Details: Published: February 07, 2019

I am happy to report Region VI has gained members this year. There are six more members than 2017. They are from Iowa and Wisconsin. One is young Astrid Skarsten , who rode in the USEF Pony Finals this August showing DRF PeachesNCream, bred by Janet Johnson of Dayton Ridge Farm,WI. In 2017, Astrid and Peach won awards too numerous to mention while competing in the Wisconsin Hunter Jumper Circuit, with 2018 looking just as fruitful.
