The Minnesota Academy Equestrian Finals The first annual Minnesota Academy Equestrian Finals were held October 27th, 2013, at the AgStar Arena located on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. There had been much discussion over the last several years on ways to promote the Academy shows and grow the entry level point in the horse show industry in Minnesota. The brainchild of Alice Lear and Cary Bartz, the Minnesota Academy Equestrian Finals, is a way to promote and recognize new par cipants in the industry! A rider must show at three different Academy shows in Minnesota to qualify for the Finals. Qualified riders from seven different stables were eligible to compete in the Finals. Of the twenty-eight eligible riders, twenty-one of them competed in both one equita on and one pleasure class. All compe ng riders received a blue ribbon neck sash and a medal, which was worn throughout the show! The judging was done using a three judge system. Beth Biden, Bridget Brennan, and Lori Enger were the judges for the Finals. Tara Perkins acted as ringmaster while Dana Sibbet of Radon Inc. generously donated the first place trophies. The winners received a beau ful duffel bag adorned with the Minnesota Academy Equestrian Finals logo! All par cipates received a copy of the Na onal Horseman magazine, a gi cer ficate from Midwest Saddleseat Consignment, and a window decal of the Minnesota Academy Equestrian Finals logo. A celebra on followed with scrump ous cakes enjoyed by all! Horse show photographer Stephanie Whitney was on hand to capture the celebra on fes vi es as well. Following the Finals and the celebra on was the first qualifying show, for the 2014 Minnesota Academy Equestrian Finals. Fourteen riders competed in this first qualifier for 2014! Mark your calendars for October 26, 2014 for the 2nd Annual Minnesota Academy Equestrian Finals. Please come out to support and cheer on our newest exhibitors!
