This was the birth year of my beautiful daughter, Scarlet Rae Iaquinto. She is

2002:
Our season at our local association (SNHJA) was monumental. Every horse and
rider that showed that year ended up in the top three of there division. A great
surprise was a mare named Coup De bows. She and I won nearly every hunter class
and won the overall Baby Green Hunter Championship. She then went on to win the
Hopeful Jumper Reserve Champion for the year. What great wins for her owner Toni
Nicholas who had her from a baby and stuck with her.
2003:
Our season with our local association again was great. All of our riders and
horses did a fabulous job. The surprise this year was Wings of Gold, who, when
first arrived at our facility would not walk over a pole. He went in one year of
training, from the problem horse in the barn to the hero, ending up with the
year end Schooling Jumper Championship. He was the only horse to get standing
ovations after his trips. Again, what great wins for his owner Michele Dunder
who never gave up. These great local miles brought us to more out of town shows.
In the beginning of the year, we took Sarah Andrew and Apache Cliffs to there
first “A” show, in Tucson where they were reserve champion in the Short Stirrup
Division. By the end of the year, the two really improved and moved up with 2
children’s jumper championships. At the same fall show in Tucson, Coup De Bows
also moved up and was Reserve Champion in the level 3 Jumpers. Sarah rode
Operetta owned by Patty Arnett the Pre-Children’s Jumper Championship. Miss
Kitty and Patty went on to the Level 4 Championship. What a great way to end the
year.
