Hunters: Penny Lombardo & Big Girls Don't Cry
Jan. 23, 2008, Wellington, FL
The beginning of talent starts in the Pre Green Hunter 3 and 4 year old division at the CN Winter Equestrian Festival presented by Zimmerman Advertising. This is where a Hunter's career is put into action as some of these horses enter the ring for the first time and others with just a few starts under their girth.
The blue ribbon in the first trip was taken by Big Girls Don't Cry, a 4-year-old Holsteiner mare ridden by Penny Lombardo of Loxahatchee, Fla. and owned by Kelly Cartwright. Kelly, only owning this horse for a month, was glowing her way to the ribbon stand.
Lombardo and Big Girls Don't Cry made their way gracefully around the 2 ft. 9 in. course designed by Philip J. De Vita of Apopka, Fla.
Of the horse, Penny said: "She has a lot of stride and scope. I think she has a lot of potential."
Judge Mike Nielsen of Huntington Beach, Calif.. gave his blue ribbon in the second trip to Sandy Farrell, of Bernville, Penn., and Exclusive owned by Redfield Farm.
Second place on the first trip was Erin Ballard aboard Pikture Perfect owned by Linda Talon Jacob. The red ribbon for the second trip went to Blinks Forest ridden by Kelley Farmer and owned by Larry Glefke.
