Relay Race

Skyland Farm congratulates Alex Tippett and Maryann Charles for their impressive second-placed performance in the Rotating Pair Relay at the RMI Raleigh Benefit Horse Show, held November 14-18 in Raleigh, North Carolina.The unlikely pair of the 17+ hand El Cano and the 15-hand black stallion made for an entertaining duo, and their team name, Me and My Shadow, worked perfectly. Just one other team in the 28-entry class could match their speed, and the pair earned the red ribbon for their fast, clear round.Alex and El Cano also earned the show's reserve champion in the Children's Jumper section, and Elizabeth Wiley and Marvelust earned top ribbons in the Pre-Adult and Low Hunter sections to end a great year of showing.
