We just love to go back to our roots; a passion for the equitation classes. Our website, is after all, named after our favorite division. :) Today's Sam Edelman Equitation Classic was absolutely wonderful. It was so great to see the kids and horses galloping around an open field negotiating some challenging course elements on the derby field. We've got utter respect for the ten ribbon winners, it was a tough class!

Lillie Keenan and Levistano 2 turned in two dominating performances to win the Equitation Classic. Scoring 89 in both rounds, Keenan and her bay equitation horse mastered both the first and second round courses with style and confidence, jumping several derby-style obstacles, including an open water jump, a double combination with liverpools, and banks with effortless style.

Lillie and Levistano 2 are pictured here in the second round. Talk about the picture of perfection:

Congratulations Lillie! We'll soon be posting more photos from this class on our Facebook page. We've also got lots more pictures from WEF 2013 already posted, so stop by and take a look!

Are you enjoying our photos from WEF?! :) There are so many beautiful horses and excellent riders to see in Wellington. We've been running Bigeq.com for just about 14 years now (WOW!), and at the end of the day it's our love for the hunter/jumper horse - that beautiful form of a horse flying over a fence - that underlies our passion for the website and the hunter/jumper sales industry. We hope you'll continue to support our business and we hope in turn that we'll continue to help you buy and sell your lovely mounts for years to come. Thank you to our wonderful visitors, loyal customers, buyers, sellers and fellow hunter/jumper enthusiasts!

Here's one of our most popular photos... junior rider Katherine Strauss on her chestnut junior hunter Rapuzel. For more photos and albums from WEF, please like our Facebook page, subscribe to our Tumblr page or subscribe to our Instagram account (under 'bigeq').
