💥2026 Team Challenge💥
🐴Meet our third team!
⭐ Janet Bannister has two horses that she will be using for the team challenge this year. Jet is a coming 4 year old Quarter horse, with a friendly nature. He is wise beyond his years. Janet enjoys trail riding and hope to get into barrel racing with Jet. Miller is a 13 year old Quarter horse that she has had since he was a 5 year old. They barrel race but also trail ride together, enjoying many clinics in the past. Unfortunately there have been some health set backs with Miller the last couple of years, but Janet hopes this year will be their year to shine!
⭐ Ashley Fudge rode in her first dressage show in 1989, she has continued to develop her career as a competitor, coach, trainer, clinician, judge, breeder, volunteer and life-long learner. Her current projects include the development of her two - 4 year old colts Daire A ( Dheputy x Riviera JRF (x Rodioso)) Prosperity A (Perseverence x A Mia Mo (Philosophy)) whom she bred.
⭐ Kristine Erb purchased Black Russian, a young Canadian Sport horse that is registered part Morgan. He is the only horse that she has ever owned that comes running to the fenced when called. This boy likes attention, food and work! He has jumped with her coach, but enjoys taking lessons, trail riding, and driving. She hopes to compete in competitive trail this year! In addition to Black Russian, she has two miniature horses.
⭐ Danielle Herman & Tyra have been together since 2020 and she is such a wonderful mare! They like to try lots of different things and she is incredibly versatile; she can go from jumping over cross rails one day to working cows the next. She has a small, but successful, show history in Cowboy Challenge, AQHA Ranch classes, and Western Dressage. Her crowning achievement is being the ultimate babysitter for Danielle’s 2 year old son. Her biggest quirk is her love of Goldfish Crackers, she is always searching the stroller for leftovers. For 2026 they hope to get more show experience and have decided to focus on Western Dressage for this season.
