What a summer it’s been… hot, sticky, rainy, dry—you name it, we’ve ridden through it! 😅☀️🌧️

Back in the middle of July, Greystone loaded up and headed to Tryon. Here’s the highlight reel:

🏆🥈 Vera and her Zone 3 teammates, Brooklyn and Peyson (Virginia Beach) jumped their way to Team Silver in the 1.20m Junior Team Finals with some outstanding rounds.

💙 Talia and Glamorous kept the momentum going in the Jumpers, earning a blue ribbon and continuing to gain confidence. Just wait until these two start dialing in their speed!

☔️💧🦄 Ellie and I Love a Rayne Night also made the move to the Jumpers. Rayne keeps impressing us every time this greenie steps into the ring.

Good job riders!
Thank you Dale Wright and Lauren Donahue and the staff❤️

Greystone Farm ventured to beautiful Upperville, VA to participate in the Loudoun Benefit Horse Show the second week of June 2026. With several Caniacs at the barn, it was a lot of horse showing coupled with cheering the Carolina Hurricanes to an eventual Stanley Cup! Talk about horse show hangover. Thanks to Dale Wright, Lauren Donahue and the crew for making it happen! Oh, we also survived a tornado. Here’s a recap:

🏆🥈Vera and Catch Me 53 jumped fantastically to a 2nd in the 1.2m Jr/Am Classic and secured Reserve Champion in the division. It was such a great round, mama Britt shed a tear🤗

💝🐕Liz and After Eight (“Duncan”) laid down some great trips in the Younger Adults, ribboning in a large and competitive group. They also had a blast in the Jr/Am derby, scoring an 83 in the handy! Plus Duncan finally met his new doggie siblings, Pippa and Graham!

🐴🐈✨ Isla and Cat Sherry had some of their best rounds to date in the 1.0m Amateur jumpers. Another great weekend, and they can’t wait for Zone Finals next month!

🤩 Talia and Glamorous had solid rounds in the Large Pony division and got to do their first jumper class and they are hooked! Watch this space closely to see where this goes:)

💅 Krista and Janita also had solid rounds and also did their first jumper round! See pics for a snap of it all coming together.

Greystone Farm stayed close to home for the Carolina Horse Park Spring Classic, hosted by Triangle Farms Horseshows and Barn— and what a weekend it was. We brought 7 incredible horses, reconnected with local barns, and loved having so many family and friends there cheering us on. Here’s a recap of a great show:

✨ Isla and Cat Sherry were absolute speed and style in the 1.0m jumpers — quick, handy, and beautifully controlled. After an injury and many weeks of stall rest, this was their first show back this year, making every round extra special.

🤩 Talia Al Ghuraibawi and Glamorous marched right into the big hunter ring like seasoned pros. In just their third 2’6” Derby, they tackled every high option and finished 9th, along with strong ribbons in their division. These two win the Brave award.

💅 Maren and Claim to Fame made their debut together with some lovely rounds. This was only the baby hunter’s second show and Maren’s first back in nearly 5 years!

🔥 Emmy Creek and True Balou, in only their second show together, stepped up from Long Stirrup to the 2’6” division and competed in their first-ever 2’6” Hunter Derby. They confidently took all the high options and delivered beautiful trips all weekend.

🥉 Krista Jones and Janita delivered consistently solid rounds. They earned 3rd in a large division (22) and 3rd in the Classic. Their 2’6” Derby included an unfortunate rail and a stare-down of the trot jump with the trot jump winning… the irony. 🤦‍♀️ Humbling, and yet, still very fun.

🥈 Hadley and Bonita tackled their first National Derby (3’-3’5”) together and absolutely rose to the occasion. First to go in the order, they laid down a beautiful trip taking every high option. They also earned top ribbons in their division with a 2nd over fences and 2nd under saddle. Mama Lacey could not have been more proud. 🥹

🥇🥇 Everly and Zipped Straight Up stole the show in the Walk/Trot division, winning both the equitation and pleasure classes.

Huge thank you, as always, to Dale Wright, Lauren, and the entire team for their dedication, support, and hard work behind every ride and ribbon.

Greystone took a small but mighty crew to Tryon at the end of April.

🥇🥈Liz and Duncan (After Eight) took home their very first blue ribbon in the USHJA 2’9! They also got a 2nd and other great ribbons in the 3’ Adults. It’s exciting to see this new partnership grow together.❤️

🥇🥈Krista and Janita had consistent rounds all week finishing first, second, fourth and fifth in the over fences and also got a piece of the hack.

Vera and Suzy (Crown K) made their debut in the 1.2 Junior Jumpers with beautiful rounds. It’s thrilling to watch these two develop and …the jumps at home keep getting bigger and bigger👀!

Vera and Catch (Catch Me 53) also competed in the 1.20 Junior Jumpers, finishing top placings in an incredibly competitive class.

As always, a huge thank you to Dale Wright, Lauren Donahue, and the entire team for their dedication, support, and hard work behind the scenes.
