I'm so proud of this sweet little girl, Quality Time HW! Cutie tried her heart out and helped us win the USDF Region 2 Championship for 3rd level Musical Freestyle AA! We're qualified for the National Finals competition later this year.

Thank you so much to all the wonderful Horse Show Office staff, volunteers, judges, and most of all my beloved friends and family who supported us through the whole show. We couldn't have done it without you.

Huge congratulations to Dante HW and team!

What an incredible journey for Dante HW, culminating in a phenomenal 3rd place at the I1 freestyle championship! Five years ago, Catherine Deborah took a leap of faith, purchasing Dante HW sight unseen. That bold decision has undeniably paid off, as he continues to thrive under her dedicated ownership. It’s a true testament to the wonderful team behind him, who have meticulously educated him every step of the way. And now, with Ylva Axelsson in the saddle, Dante HW isn't just competing – he's truly shining. This isn't just a win; it's a testament to vision, dedication, and teamwork. What a success story!

Hi Irene,

They did it again!!

Wes and Freddie (aka Five Stars HW) were the First Level Open Champions at the Pacific Regional Championships this past weekend with scores in the mid seventies.

The weather on Friday was very wet and windy so conditions were very difficult but Freddie just kept going to deliver a 74.69% . The rest of the weekend was beautiful weather. This was our last Show of the season and it was super fun!

Freddie has been to four big shows this summer and has been the Champion every time. He also has now earned his Equine Canada Bronze Medal with honors so these are just amazing achievements for a young 5 year old horse in his first year of showing.

We have had just the best summer with this beautiful boy and amazing comments from all the different judges and everyone who has watched him.

It goes without saying, of course, that Wes has done a fabulous job with Freddie so we are looking forward to the future. As soon as I get the pictures I will send the gallery to you.

Hope you are well. Sue

Lynk (aka Bezos Boy HW) and I haven’t shown in a LONG while, and it was so wonderful to dance with this big guy again, this was our first time ever showing 1st level, and i couldn’t be more proud of how far this guy has come within the past few months, showing up with mid-60%’s for both tests!!

This, of course, wouldn’t AT ALL be possible without the amazing and talented Cyndi Jackson , aka real-life superwoman!!

I know this journey has not been easy, but the amount of what Lynk and I have learned within only a few months of being at bar-a with her has been so incredible and rewarding!!

So thankful.

Southlands Riding Club, Vancouver, BC:

Five Stars HW, affectionately known as Freddie, and his skilled rider, Wes Schilds, have emerged as true champions in the equestrian world. Freddie has consistently delivered exceptional performances, earning him the title of Champion in each of the three shows he has participated in. Despite challenging weather conditions that included heavy rain and a flooded arena, Freddie's poise and athleticism remained unwavering. His graceful movements and remarkable agility have captivated spectators, earning him high scores and accolades.

Wes Schilds, Freddie's rider, is a master horseman with an unparalleled ability to connect with his mount. His exceptional riding skills have enabled him to guide Freddie through intricate courses with precision and finesse. His ability to anticipate Freddie's every move and react accordingly has resulted in a seamless partnership that has consistently produced championship-winning performances.

According to Freddie's owner, the horse's remarkable temperament and willingness to learn have been instrumental in their success. Freddie's calm and collected demeanor allows him to remain focused and perform at his best, even in challenging situations. She attributes their triumphs to the exceptional qualities of both the horse and the rider, who together form an unbreakable bond that has led to extraordinary achievements.

SATISFACTION HW. This 9yo gelding by Sunday, absolutely LOVES to show!!!

Schooling all the GP-ones just started, pi/pa pretty solid.

I’ve never had so much fun in the ring.

Pamela Roberts

Red ribbons stand for victory (in Canada!), check this out, huge congratulations to the whole team, 5 x 9's - wow!

From FiveStars HW's owner, he is also known as "Freddie": I just returned from the Canada Cup Dressage Festival last night @Wes Schild and Freddie were the champions once again, earning the top score for the entire event.

It was an absolutely fantastic weekend, with Wes and Freddie delivering another outstanding performance. All of their scores were in the high seventies, with an impressive 78.6% on Saturday. The judges were highly complimentary, awarding them five scores of 9 and describing Freddie as a "beautiful, expressive horse with wonderful gaits" who was "very well ridden."

We are all so proud of this truly special horse. Freddie is truly in a league of his own. And just to note, in Canada, the red ribbons indicate first place. The one of Freddie's dad Jack telling Freddie how much he loves him made me cry!!!

Hi Irene: I just want you to know that Sunny aka Sandjour HW is now retired albeit still being ridden at home. He is 20 now and competed through being 19. We made it to Grand Prix and showed at very respectable shows. They were my mistakes not his that kept us from Gold. As you know he is an extremely talented horse. I do not regret a single moment with him. He still has his buddy, Laddie, who is 33 now. 

So he will be with me forever. Thank you. Holly B. Chernoff, Attorney/Mediator

In addition, Jamie Shortz posted: Happy retirement sweet Sunny!! What an incredible memory of riding this special boy in the Robert Dover  Horsemastership Clinic in Florida and getting to ride with Robert, Debbie McDonald, Shelly Francis, and Jan Ebeling. I would never have had this opportunity without the generosity of his owner Holly B. Chernoff and the connection made by Adrienne Lyle. It was an experience I will never forget. I’m so thrilled to hear him and Holly made it to Grand Prix together. Congratulations to his breeder Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold who has bred and sold so many wonderful horses like him.

He was also the High Point.

His scores were 76.9%, 72.0% and 73.4%. Also, Cesar Torrente our judge on Friday and Sunday fell in love with Freddie and came to speak with me. He said he is a beautiful horse and I love, love, love that horse! Congratulations on owning such a beautiful horse.
