The following except is from the ACPS website
news page in December 2009:
Caraway Charlotte (Maplehurst Micheal MacDaire X *Wensum Plum) and her
young rider, Grace Bridges, attended their very first 'A' rated show Dec.
3-6th [2009]. They began the show with a clean sweep of the blues and the
championship in the Eleven and Under Equitation Division. Then off to the
USEF Pony Medal Class (an over fences class) where they took 3rd out of 24
other (VERY FANCY) ponies. The next division was the Medium Green Pony Division
which was spread out over two days. Lottie and Grace took home a 1st, 2nd,
4th and 5th over fences and a 4th on the flat. Owner Rai Pullen says, "I
am so very proud of their 'A' debut!".
As well as competing successfully in the 2009 ACPS Region V show, Lottie continued her winning ways at A circuit hunter shows, and Lottie and rider Grace were also reserve championship in their division at the AAHJA (Athens Area Hunter/Jumper Association) 2009 year end banquet.
