Congratulations to the Lohman Stables ribbon winners at Harrisburg and Washington! Libby Bishop and Shimmer were 11th in the NAL Children's Hunter Finals at Harrisburg, and 9th at the WIHS Children's Hunter Finals. Courtney Salkeld and Lucky Penny were 5th at the WIHS Children's Hunter Finals (at only their THIRD horse show together!). Daisy Bishop was 11th on Royal Ace at the WIHS Children's Hunter Finals. And rounding out the group of ribbon winners are Emma Bishop and Game Day who were 11th in the Local Horse Finals at WIHS. A huge debt of gratitude to Alan, Kathy and Vincente.
