Show News

Some News from Evergreen Farm, home of Payback stallion KKOI:

"EF KKlassique Beauty, Evergreen Farm’s primary show mount, and KKoi’s first born daughter has brought home the accolades that we have dreamed about for six long years. Beauty started her show career at the 2005 SHN 2-year-old Jackpot fillies class. She pulled a top Ten and ended up firmly in 6th with a 3rd one card and an 8th on the other. It was quite exciting for us. For those of you who don’t know we are a very small breeder but we have a very clear vision. Fast forward from 2005 to the present…At Region 15 we rode three times and brought home three top fives!! What an accomplishment-a trifecta of sorts. While we were so pleased and elated with how far we had come we had only one show left for the season, East Coast Championships. I wouldn’t say we were cocky, but by the time we got to Pennsylvania we were feeling good about where we were. For us winning isn’t everything. For us the journey is just as important. We don’t use big trainers, our horses are bred by us to be very trainable, very easy to get along with and very well put together. They are trained by us and shown by us. At East Coast we did it again. This time we brought home two Reserve Championships and a Second in Dressage. To make a long 5 days short, all tolled we got 8’s and 9’s on our gaits! Wow, 8’s and 9’s!! There is never such a joy as near perfection."

Thanks for sharing!

Payback Stallion Makes History

Patience Prine-Carr and Mary Jo Wertheimer's Arabian stallion OKW ENTRIGUE+++// (by Allience+//) made history last weekend by winning the KADETT Memorial Trophy at the San Francisco Peninsula Dressage Show at Menlo Park. He is the first Arabian to have his name engraved on the silver bowl.

This award was started in 1972 in memory of KADETT, a horse that performed Grand Prix with wins at the Olympic level and thereby introduced many people to dressage. It is awarded each year to the winner of the highest level class. Past winners include 4-time winner Hilda Gurney and her Olympic mount KEEN.

Patience and Ricky won the Grand Prix with a score of 65% and also won the Grand Prix Freestyle with a 70%! Congratulations to this great team!
