Congratulations to Nina, Julianna & Madison
On Sunday I had the good fortune to attend the CCHSA banquet to watch Nina, Julianna and Madison get their year end awards. I am so proud of these girls and their ponies and know how hard they worked to earn their spot in the top ribbons in Chester County. Nina and Iceman were 6th in 13 & Under Equitation! Julianna was Reserve Champion in Short Stirrup Equitation, Champion in Short Stirrup Hunter with Lady and 3rd with Lacey, and Reserve Champion in Pleasure Pony with Lady! Madison and Declan achieved Reserve Champion in Shortest Stirrup Equitation and 5th in Short Stirrup Hunter! Congratulations girls and remember to thank your families for all of their help and support. Your ponies could use a special treat as well!

Nancy's first Blog
Thanks so much to Lisa from Mid-Atlantic Equestrian Services for doing such a amazing job with our website and for having the patience to keep me on task and helping me figure out how to do this blog...I will try hard to keep it updated. Although it is incredibly cold, windy and snowy here...Firefly is busy with lots of riding, having fun with friends, pony club, horse shows, and quiz practices. This Sunday, Nina, Julianna & Madison are attending the CCHSA banquet to receive their awards from their incredible show season in 2010. I feel very fortunate to have so many incredible clinicians come to Firefly Farm and invite you to take a look at our website and read all about them. Hope to see you soon! Have fun and ride safely!
