What an introduction to October that we enjoyed at the Three Bulls Farm Facility! 🍂 The last few days of September were spent learning with the three-time world champion of working equitation, Gilberto Filipe. We were beyond fortunate that Gilberto could contribute his time and education towards fellow and aspiring WE riders at the facility. After this extraordinary start to the week, we put in our final preparations for the 2026 USAWE Region 7 Championship. As well as preparing for an APSL Stallion Revision, where we were joined by the founder and president of WAWE, João Ralão Duarte. Having João inspect stallions at the facility and host an evening presentation on the Lusitano breed was a delightful honor. With such company, our cups have surely overflown in the best way. The week could not have been done without the support of our competitors, facility staff, show staff, volunteers, and guests of honor. It was a pleasure hosting everyone at the facility for as long as we did, and we could not have been more delighted with the camaraderie all around. Hoping that the experience at our facility was just as wonderful for everyone. With great gratitude, thank you!
Another big thank you to all of these wonderful individuals and organizations that contributed to the week, beyond the list as well!
