A little late, but we’ve been busy! ☀️🐴
The CVF team has had two wonderful (and VERY hot 😂) show weekends — first at Lexington National Horse Show at the Virginia Horse Center, followed by Silver Lining Farm 4 at Deep Run Hunt Club!
We absolutely loved getting away to the mountains for Lexington, even if the summer heat decided to follow us there! ⛰️☀️ Our horses and riders put in some beautiful rounds throughout the week, and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone.
