Rolling Acres Farm: Hunter/Jumper Horse Boarding, Sales and Training in Montgomery County, Maryland: Pensacola Winter Series Results are In!!

Well, the first week of Pensacola is in the books, and what a start it was! It was supposed to be warmer weather (at least, that’s what they tell me) but the "Arctic Vortex" had other ideas! Heavy coats and toe warmers were quickly unpacked and used. The horses, who hadn't been out in days because of the bad weather at home, thought they would show their rodeo moves-they felt really good! Sheryl had plenty of blankets to keep the horses toasty in their “slightly” chilly southern stalls and everyone settled in quiet nicely.

The beginning of the show week was cancelled because of the cold weather. The footing, not to mention the pipes, were not used to single digits! I guess they were wondering how much further south they needed to go to be warm! (In this case, a long way) Everyone stayed bundled up and waited out the weather. Then, just to show her ultimate power, Mother Nature decided to throw in a Monsoon for good measure. And the show was again delayed while sheets of rain poured down. Finally, clear skies shown again and the competition was able to start for real this time.

This is Mary on the first day in Pensacola. They called her “Gnome”.

The results from the Pensacola Winter Series, which takes place at the Escambia County Equestrian Center, are in and the Rolling Acres Show group started off this winter season with a bang!
