"Thirty
years unsurpassed in Quality and Value"
Katie, Jan and Peyton |

Jan Humphrey came to Leone Equestrians
rusty. She hadn’t put on a pair of riding boots for over a year, and was
still busy with her studies. Rudy put Jan on Ping Pong, creating an
unstoppable team. Together they went from the lower level jumpers, which had
its disastrous moments, to winning the Bakersfield Grand Prix in 2006.
Another highlight was receiving the 2006 Overall Desert Circuit Low Junior
Jumper Champion. At the end of that year Rudy found Jan a new horse, one who
was ready to go to the level. Carthageno and Jan now compete in the High
Amateur Owner jumpers. Her goal for 2008 is to qualify and represent Zone 10
at Young Rider’s.

As
most little girls do, Peyton Warren wanted to take riding lessons. After
starting at Leone Equestrians several years ago, Jill took over her
training. Peyton has since moved up in the divisions. In 2006, she was
walk-trot champion for SAHJA, the local area show association. After
proving her dedication her parents bought her a pony named Sunny Side
Up. Peyton and “Prince” have accomplished numerous wins, including
winning the Stirrup Cup at Pebble Beach, placing in the SAHJA medal
finals, and her biggest win to date, 2007 Overall Thermal Desert Circuit
Short Stirrup Equitation Reserve Champion.

When
Katie Estep first joined the barn, she couldn’t keep her heels. She
was constantly lectured about it by Rudy. With his help, she started
improving. Then Katie was ready for her first horse, Kona Gold. “Kona”
took her from the short stirrup to children’s hunters. Once there she
realized she would rather be in the jumper ring. Purchasing Pepino,
she won numerous championships in the Children’s and Modified jumpers.
In 2005 she purchased Nieuw Dehli. Starting in the children’s, Katie
and “Dehli” are a competitive Low Junior team. Look for them in 2008
in the high juniors.

Bliss Heers has been successful in all
aspects of her riding career. She’s qualified and competed on the WCAR
Spruce Meadows 1.30m and 1.40m teams, along with consistent placings in
the equitation division. She first met up with Rudy when she was looking
for a Jr/Am jumper. This led her to Prinzess 315. After enjoying great
success with her mare, Bliss was ready for another horse to take her to
the Grand Prix ring. Again she went to Rudy, this time purchasing Longford.
With Longford and GZS Cassira Z (another Rudy find), Bliss received the
title of 2007 PCHA “Rookie” Grand Prix Rider of the Year.
