AT TWISTED TREE FRAM
Team Twisted Tree Farm competes
the first two weeks in July at the popular Woodside Classic in Menlo Park,
California. Riders and horses attending are; Maggie Lang with Solero, Cocarina
and Mexx, Caitlin Houlihan with Nele, Jocelyn Casey’s horses, Cordino and
Sirocco, the new beautiful stallion “Farley”, Paige Waslewski’s
Shalimar, Sydney Oshinski, and Janet Hischer with Guiseppe and Surryal.
All horses and riders started off
with a bang, Guiseppe and Janet won the $500 7-year old class the first day
and the $300 1.30 meter jumper’s day two.
Farley (Kodak) captured the Reserve Championship in the 1st
Year Green Hunters the first week. Jocelyn’s
stallion Cordino was super in the 1.25 $1000 Classic jumping to the 7th
place finish, Sirocco was 3rd, and Guiseppe was 2nd in
this class. The Grand Prix was
tough and Surryal was very good, jumping to a 10th place victory.
Only two horses made it to the jump off in this class.
Bill Houlihan made a fantastic
pancake and bacon breakfast Sunday at the Woodside show, Maggie credits Bill
for the energy to win the $2500 Junior A/O Jumper classic with 4 horses
jumping clean, Maggie and Solero had the fastest time in this exciting class.
Sunday night Maggie treated everyone to a grommet pizza dinner at a
pizza joint on the Stanford campus to celebrate her victory.
Caitlin Holihan stepped up “Nele” to the Low Junior/AO’s the pair
finished 4th and 7th. Sydney
and Guiseppe finished 3rd and 7th in the .90 jumpers;
Sydney relaxes Guiseppe and helps Janet to be successful in the 1.30 classes.
On the off days show riders are allowed to take their horses out on the very
large cross country fields and forest that neighbor the show grounds.
Sirocco is a big fan of these relaxing rides, Shalimar and Zwrin were
the first of the TTF horses to walk into the water obstacle on the cross
country field just walking right into the large pond that the cross country
riders jump through. These fields
are also home to several different types of beautiful wild life; deer, cranes,
hawks, prairie dogs, and more. Caitlin
will not be with us for the second week of Woodside as she is off to visit and
experience the famous Spruce Meadows Horse Show, there she will learn and
witness some of the greatest riders of the world.

Guess what Jocelyn and Paul Casey have another puppy “Popcorn”
another whippet. Jackie Smith is
Cool Whips mother while real mom Jocelyn is in London.
Rumor has it she likes motherhood.
Monica informed us that Jodi Johnson is riding the hair off of Gluke;
the pair is getting along really well. Thanks
to Janet’s mother for house and barn sitting while the Hischer’s are away,
I am sure you have seen her in the evenings keeping up with her energetic
puppy “Frankie”. Larry Hischer
is getting the new cantina ready to move into when the summer circuit is over,
we are going to have a fireplace, Big screen TV, big refrigerator, etc..
