After a number of years spent in the lesson program and also carrying hunt groom, Jo Blackmore, out hunting first flight with the Millbrook, Ruby Sparkle has begun a new life as an event horse in Virginia. She placed 2nd in her first appearance at Novice Level at The Event at Kelly's Ford on the site of a civil war battlefield by the mighty Rappahannock River and then went on to win at The Virginia Horse Trials in Lexington on November 4th, finishing on her dressage score of 32.5. She was ridden to these successes by Ali Lindsay.
Those of our clients who rode her and had difficulty getting from one end of the indoor arena to the other will appreciate what a big achievement this was for all concerned!
