Closing out Princeton June I with a bang 💥

Cassidy Hisler had an incredible weekend in both the hunter and jumper rings.

Piloting her sister’s Datejust, she was Champion in the 3’3” Junior Hunters and took home the win in the Classic.

She then stepped up to the 1.30m Jumpers aboard Berenice Della Caccia, finishing 3rd in both of Saturday’s classes and placing 7th in Sunday’s 1.30m Classic.

With Bull Runs Firefly, she claimed the win in Saturday’s 1.20m Speed and returned on Sunday to jump a clear round and finish 4th in the 1.30m Classic, earning Reserve Champion honors for the division.

A fantastic finish to an amazing week in Princeton. Next up: Junior Hunter Finals! 👏🏻🔥🐴✨

Yesterday, we lost a very special member of our team, Bentley.

Our hearts are broken for the Carpenter family, but we take comfort in knowing that Bentley is now galloping through the greenest pastures.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who played a part in Bentley’s care and journey. Thank you to Diane Carpenter for trusting us with such a special horse. Thank you to our team in Chicago for sending Bentley our way. Thank you to Jesus for taking the utmost care of him and recognizing when something wasn’t right. Thank you to Grand Prix Equine—Dr. Jackie, Dr. Mel, and Liv—for your immediate response and support. Thank you to Show Time—Chrissy and Ron—for the quick transportation. And thank you to Cornell Ruffian for ensuring Bentley received the care and comfort he needed.

Most importantly, thank you, Bentley, for allowing us to be a small part of your career. Your gentle nature, kind spirit, and sweet presence will be deeply missed around the stable.

Run free, buddy. We love you and will never forget you. 🤍🐴
