Congratulations to all of our Brawley Farms riders! We are so proud of the riding, horsemanship, sportsmanship, and teamwork you showed throughout the week. What a wonderful way to wrap up the Oregon Summer Classic! ☀️
Of course, a week like this takes a whole team behind the scenes, and we couldn't finish this post without thanking everyone who helped make it possible.
A huge thank you to Judy Brawley, Head Trainer and Founder of Brawley Farms South, and Debbie Brawley, Head Trainer of Brawley Farms North, for everything you do to prepare, train, and coach our riders both at home and throughout the show. The countless hours spent teaching, developing each horse and rider partnership, preparing for the show ring, and coaching throughout the week are what make results like these possible. More than that, Judy and Debbie are the reason this entire Brawley Farms team is here together. Their years of knowledge, dedication to their riders and horses, and commitment to building these programs have created the team and community we are so proud to be a part of. None of this would be possible without them.
Thank you to Rachel Nicholas, Assistant Trainer at Brawley Farms North, for all of her work preparing our students, assisting with coaching, and getting our ladies ready to enter the show ring. Despite continuing to recover from a knee injury sustained earlier this year that grounded her for this show season, Rachel was there supporting our riders every step of the way.
Thank you to Katherine Vandehey, Assistant Trainer at Brawley Farms North, for schooling our wonderful horses and getting them prepared for their riders so each partnership had the opportunity to go into the ring and succeed.
Thank you to Elia Barlett, Working Student at Brawley Farms North, for working throughout the weekend to make sure our horses and riders were well cared for and had everything they needed.
Thank you to Milla Rindal, Assistant Trainer at Brawley Farms South, for the moral support, always being in our riders' corner, and keeping things running smoothly back home so the show could go on while Mrs. Brawley was away taking care of our riders and horses at the horse show.
Thank you to Edgar for generously volunteering his time and lending a hand with so much of the work that goes into a horse show. From helping us transport the horses and keeping our barn area clean and tidy to taking on plenty of the heavy lifting, his help throughout the week was greatly appreciated. Thank you as well for always being there to support and encourage our riders and horses. We are so grateful to have you as part of the team!
Thank you to Mc Cool Photography for the lovely photos!
A special thank you as well to Team NW Equestrian Sports for putting on such a wonderful event and creating a fantastic week of competition for our riders, horses, trainers, and families to enjoy!
And finally, thank you to the entire Brawley Farms team. Horse showing is never an individual effort. It takes trainers, riders, working students, families, friends, and a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes to create weeks like this. We are incredibly grateful for every person who played a part in making the Oregon Summer Classic such a special and successful week for our riders. 💚💛
