October Rider of the Month - Hannah Kulik!


Jim calls Hannah his "Secret Weapon". Hannah is the sweet, steady girl that puts her time in with the horses. Hannah has done incredible things with Sonata, almost training her exclusively. Sonata now jumps, goes on the trails, knows her leads and is ready for the showring this year!

Hannah has also been the most flexible - having Jade off, Hannah has had to show and ride other horses and she is always willing to share her favorite horse and ride who ever is left!
She takes super care of Classy at Jim's barn and they always look beautiful and polished in the show ring! She is our resident junior Parelli trainer and has instructed everyone in the barn, including Stella's new owner Brianna.

I will also never forget the Match Race in Ahmanson. Hannah rode that race as well as any jockey and though her and Crimson started last, they certainly finished first and it was in part to Hannah's smart riding. Did I mention she was bareback?

It is such fun having Hannah in the barn and I look forward to afterschool time when she stops by to say hi and see what the riding plans are.

Hannah, I love you, girl, Congratulations!
