We would like to congratulate the Blue Hill Farm horses on a successful summer. Blue Hill Farm’s Tahiti Island competed in several Grand Prix classes this summer in Kentucky and Cleveland, earning a fifth place in the 25k Hagyard Grand Prix and a seventh in the Cleveland Welcome Prix. Rebecca was able to compete this summer on Little Gancho. They placed 3rd in the 50th Anniversary Cleveland Grand Prix and 4th in the Hagyard Grand Prix at the Kentucky Horse Park. “Gancho” has since been sold to Moonlite Beach Stables, and Marc Grock has taken over the reins. “Gancho” has been a wonderful horse and we are very excited to see him perform with his new rider.

Blue Hill Farm’s newest horse, Antonis, came to his first show in America and won two out of three classes and has been sold to Britany Hildebrand and trainer Patty Roberts of Houston Texas. We wish Britany the best of luck with “Tony.”

Melissa Welker has had a great summer tour on Col De Knolton. Together they jumped clear in 5 out of 7 Adult Amateur Jumper Classics.

Clifford, our very special equitation horse, has been continuing his winning ways. With rider, Hayley Mairano, Clifford won the Maclay Medal at the Kentucky Summer Classic, the USEF Talent Search at the Vermont Summer Festival, and was third in the Connecticut Medal Finals. Clifford will continue to show this fall with Hayley in several of the major equitation finals.

After taking a relatively “easy” winter circuit to welcome their baby girl, Harper, Conan and Becky are back to work this spring with a new group of horses due to arrive in America sometime in early June.

Blue Hill Farm is wrapping up the 2014 show season. We would like to congratulate our two super seven-year-olds, Col de Knolton and Tahiti Island, for finishing eighth and ninth respectively in the 2014 Midwest Young Jumper Championships. Both of these horses have progressed a great deal throughout the year and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Congratulations to Blue Hill Farm’s Xenia on placing 2nd in the NAL Adult Jumper classic at the Holiday Horse Show, and winning the Marshall & Sterling Adult Classic with rider Lindsey Tomeau.

Congratulations to Melissa Welker and Soul Sister for placing second in both Adult Classics in the Holiday Show Series at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center!

Please check out our new list of sale horses. We have a very exciting group of equitation horses offered for sale.

As the year comes to an end we would like to thank the people behind the scenes that make our lives and jobs so much easier, starting with our grooms. We are so lucky to have two of the best grooms in the business, Alberto Pina and Sarah Rayner. They work day in and day out to make sure that the Blue Hill Farm horses receive the best care possible. We would also like to thank our vet, Dr. Melissa Welker, our farrier, Paul O’Reily, and the countless others who all play a major part in the welfare of our horses. We are so lucky to be doing what we love and that we are surrounded by the top professionals in the business. Everyone does their part to keep our horses healthy and happy and we can’t thank them enough!

Conan and Rebecca also have some very exciting news! They will be welcoming a baby girl in March 2015.

Congratulations to Isabela de Sousa on a very successful summer.  She was Champion or reserve champion on her horse, Beau, every time she showed in the Low Children’s Jumper.  She also rode Blue Hill Farm’s horse, Quintus Z. In the Equitation and THIS Medal.  In her first week showing Quintus she was first and second in the 12-14 Equitation and seventh in the THIS Medal.  The second week showing Isabela and Quintus won both classes in the 12-14 Equitation and earned 5^th place in the THIS Medal.  Isabela and Quintus have the goal of competing in the 2015 THIS National Children’s Medal Finals!

Blue Hill Farm welcomes a very special Equitation horse.  “Oscar” is a 9 year old Holstein gelding who in his first show competing in the equitation won the ASPCA Maclay Medal and earned scores of 84 and 84.5 in the hunter and jumper phases of the Washington International Horse Show Medal.  Thank you to Kate Ross and her trainer Val Renihan for riding and coaching Oscar for us!

Congratulations to Aly Marrinan and Blue Hill Farms horse Kobo for qualifying for the 2014 Taylor Harris National Children’s Medal Finals at Capital Challenge this fall.  Aly and her trainers, Jennifer Hannan and Colin Sequyia have done a great job with Kobo this year! We wish all of them the best luck at Capital Challenge.  We are happy to announce that Aly is leasing another horse from us.  Donar joined Marrian’s string at the end of August.

Congratulations to Jackson Brittan and Blue Hill Farm LLC’s Little Gancho on a very successful Kentucky Summer circuit.  They were fourth in the Bluegrass Grand Prix, fourth in the Hagyard Welcome and fourth place in the KHJA Grand Prix! Way to go Jackson!

Former BHF horse, Esprit 373, and new rider, Californian Eve Jobs, made their North American Junior and Young Riders Championship debut.  Eve and Twiggy jumped a beautiful clear round the first day and their team finished 6^th place over all.  Eve then guided Twiggy to first place honors in the conciliation class that was held on Saturday of the Championships.  Congratulations to Eve, Twiggy and her trainer Ben Hey on their success!

Paris Sellon and BHF’s previous superstar, Adare, have been competing all over Europe with great success. Paris rode Adare to third place finish in a world ranking class in Ascona in early August among many other great results from this horse and rider.

Current Blue Hill Farm horses have ended a successful summer tour.  Both Col de Knowlton and Tahiti Island have qualified for the 7 year old Young Jumper Championships at the Kentucky Horse Park in September.  Tahiti Island also competed in her first Welcome class at the KHJA horse show and jumped a clear round finishing with only a few time faults.  Col de Knowlton and Beluga 22 have shown great promise finishing second and third respectively in the 7 and 8 year old YJC Qualifier at the Kentucky Summer II horse show. 

Blue Hill Farm would like to welcome several new horses from Europe. Tahiti Island, a 2014 Italian sport horse by Toulan, and Beluga 22, a 2006 mare by Balou du Rouet. These two new mares will be added to Rebecca’s string of young Grand Prix prospects.

We would like to congratulate Eve Jobs and former Blue Hill Farm horse, Esprit 373, on being named to the 2014 Zone 10 North American Junior Riders Team!

Congratulations to Isabela de Sousa on two fantastic weeks at Country Heir. She was placed in the 12-14 Equitation and in the Taylor Harris Children’s Medal on catch ride, RMF Voka DV. She also competed in the High Children’s Jumpers for her first time at 3’6″ on catch ride, RMF Valeria, producing two double clear rounds. Isabela was also champion both weeks on her own Beau, in the Low Children’s Jumpers. She won three out of three Low Children’s Jumper classes week two!
