Congratulations to this amazing team. They not only took home double red ribbons - 2nd place in horse management and 2nd place overall, they also had a very, very good time. 😄 They received many exceeds standards in HM and several top ribbons in their rides. Although they were a 'short' team with only three riders, they were a FULL team in terms of dedication, hard work and talent! You made RCPC proud!

What a terrific weekend for Rose City. So many things to brag about, here are just a few.... 1st and 3rd place in HM. 5th and 16th place overall. Catch rider was warmly welcomed and had a good time. Everyone's riding showed improvement from last year. Personal goals were set and met! Champion ribbon to Anja and reserve champion ribbons to Isabelle and Parker. But most of all, exceeding all other successes, is the number of times the words 'most fun rally ever' were uttered. That is what it's all about! Way to go Rose City. We are so proud of you ladies!

Beautiful picture of both RCPC teams all in a row at the rally.
Last day of the SJ rally. Both RCPC teams are exceeding expectations in horse management and all the riders are doing fantastic! Rumor has it this has been the 'most fun rally ever!' Congrats ladies, very proud of each of you.
Do you see kids cleaning tack, reading and re-reading their checklists, panicking because they can't find their medical armband or scrambling to wash, scrub and depill their saddle pads? Those are telling sights of a rally! Good luck to all the Rose City riders heading off to the show jumping rally tomorrow. Have a great time!
