SenSation HW Lives Up to His Name in First Level Open Championship.

Carol and Scott McPhee’s SenSation HW did it again, with Michael Bragdell in the saddle he swooped in, danced and collected the blue and champion ribbons.

Another stellar result, in addition to being the 5 year old Young Horse Champion of 2018 already.

Congratulations to this amazing team, we couldn’t be more happy or proud to see this and Carol keeps repeating how happy she is with not only SenSation HW, but also with her other 3 HW horses. What a win/win for all.

United States Dressage Federation wrote the following article, picture by Susan Stickle.

FiveStar HW is now an international quality young Grand Prix horse!

Purchased sight unseen as a 3 year old and still owned by his original buyer, Dr. Cynthia McKing, with Nadine Schwartsman in the saddle. He has been developed carefully and methodically up the levels. After competing successfully at the Small Tour Level (PSG scores to 73.824 and I1 Freestyle scores to 73.963) he moved up to the I2 and Developing Grand Prix Level, winning Regionals at I2 and competing in the US National Championships in the Developing Grand Prix Division in Chicago.

Quincy HW is Highpoint Champion! What an amazing update by Meredith Kenyon, congratulations to this success to her, Emily & team, with Quincy HW, she posted:

This last weekend was Quincy HW’s first regional championship and the last show of the season. Words cannot describe how proud I am of him and Emily!! He walked right into that big Rolex stadium like a pro and they won their huge training level class of 43 people with a 79%! That score ended up being high point of the open division and the show! Despite having an absolutely identical and incredible ride in the championship class, they ended up just outside of the ribbons. Finally Emily expertly piloted him through his very first, first level test, and with a few green mistakes he won that big class also with a 72% on a 30 degree morning in a ring he had never seen! I’m so thankful for Emily and all of team Miramonte Equine for the hard work they have put into developing Quincy HW! I cannot wait for next year as it sure looks as though it’ll be exciting!

Yeah, congratulations - SenSation HW is USDF Region 1 champion!

USDF Region 1 Championships, Scott & Carol McPhee's SenSation HW continues his amazing season and winning streak, under Michael Bragdell, with victory in his warmup with a 75% and then taking the First Level Championship title with a 76%.

Look at that, they just keep on collecting the blue and champion ribbons, congratulations to Donna Gatchell and Karen Kerchner Baillie!

SO excited to learn that Emily and Quincy HW had 2 super rides with Jessica Jo Tate this weekend! I so wish I could have been there to watch in person, but I’m thrilled and so proud nonetheless! Thank you so much to Emily and JJ for such an awesome weekend for my big baby horse!

I bought Quincy HW through Irene in January 2017. The process was beyond easy. Irene shared absolutely everything I needed to know about the horse and even scheduled him to fly out in record time! I only waited 1 week to see my dream horse and he was everything and MORE than I had expected! I’m so thankful to Irene for bringing this horse into my life and for the continued friendship, guidance, and support she has given us! Quincy HW is a dream come true and I cannot wait to see what he accomplishes in his lifetime! My next horse will be, without a doubt, another HW Farm beauty!
