Wow!  What a weekend!  The Fenland Show held at Horse Creek Farm was another great success, great horses, great people, great atmosphere, and great fun! 

The Sovereign Team and clients were busy and we were thrilled how many horses bred or trained by the team here were placed.  We'd like to congratulate the following people on their great results at this show.

Sarah and Amy Deptford with Hannah Bernstein.  Hannah competed in Junior Trail as well as the Nov Am classes with Am, she placed in the top three in her first ever Showmanship class as well as earning great places in Horsemanship and Western Pleasure.  Hannah is a truly versatile mare and a true all arounder.
