Samuelle Leerkamp & Malacrianza
were ON FIRE! Set up to win both divisions with two first places
🥇🥇 in their 1.10M as well as a
first 🥇 and a third 🥉 in their 1.20M!!!
Then they had to scratch their final classic division Grand Prix classes after we noticed something was off with Havoc in the warm up ring. Turned out he has an abscess in his back foot. It stung to have to pull out of the competition but it was awesome to see first hand how strong a team they have become.
Get better Havoc!

Kentucky Spring Show
Samuelle Leerkamp & Malacrianza
The Kentucky Spring show was about overcoming and learning. Havoc was refusing from the first ride in, letting us know he wasn't 100% himself. Long show days that don’t go according to plan feel extremely unrewarding and require that bit of extra mental power to plow through. Proud of our team! And hey! We survived another tornado coming through🌪️
9th place in 1.20m JR JUMPER
6th place in 1.10m JR JUMPER
10th place in 1.10-1.15m JR CLASSIC

at the David Dorner Clinic at H&H.
The Dave Dorner’s Clinic at H&H Stables was as incredible as we hoped/expected it to be. Sam and Havoc had a blast sharing the 3 foot and up group in the ring with Dave & former barn mates and learned so much. Many thanks to David Dorner and Christine Duke for this enlightening weekend and to H&H Stables for the warm welcome onto their beautiful grounds… The rumor is there will be a next one so be on the lookout!

The Applejack, IN
The Applejack Show,
at Canterbury Manor Stables in Zionsville, IN—hosted by the ever-dedicated and cherished figure in Indiana’s horse community- Sandra Brady! The annual event is named in honor of world-champion Diamond’s Applejack—a Canterbury homebred who once cleared an incredible 7 feet—this show is a summer favorite in Indiana’s horse world.
This year, Samuelle rode Smoochie (a 4-year-old Hanoverian) for the first time as trainer Emily Farmer tested her new boy’s range and scope. And guess what? They tied for second place! 🥈

Las Vegas Nationals, NV
USHJA National Championships have marked the culmination of our show seasons for the fifth year in a row.
From an initial field of 30 exceptional nation wide horse-and-rider teams, the championship came down to 3 rides + warm up ride:
Samuelle & Malacrianza placed in all four— which was a first! They’ve grown into consistency!!
• 7th — double clear,
• 5th — double clear,
• 6th — fastest overall time,
w/one rail down
• 7th — clear into the jump-off, second-fastest time w/one rail down
= 6th place in the Junior 1.10m at Vegas Nationals. Two rails away from the podium!
