Katy, TX – November 22, 2011 – As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, Nordic Lights Farm wrapped up the 2011 show season during the Final Chase Horse Show at the Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas. Eirin Bruheim claimed the winning honors during the $5,000 Open Jumper Mini Prix aboard Cicero 75, as well as the High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper Championship. Her sister Lene Bruheim was also very successful, earning top honors in the hunter, jumper, and equitation rings.
Eirin and her talented mount Cicero 75 proved to be a dominating combination during the Final Chase Horse Show. For the second week in a row they took home the High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper Championship after earning a first place ribbon, a second place ribbon, and a fourth place ribbon. The pair then tackled the $5,000 Open Jumper Mini Prix where their incredible double-clear effort scored the winning prize. Eirin also competed with new mount Anyway to earn the sixth place award, and in the High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumpers garnered a third and fourth place ribbon.
“The show this weekend was awesome,” said Eirin. “Cicero and Anyway were both so lively yet polite; it was a joy to be able to ride them. I finally feel like I’m officially back from my six month break and I am ready for WEF!”
Lene continued to be a top competitor in the junior ring, placing second in the ASPCA Maclay with Say No More, as well as second and fourth in the Junior 14-17 Equitation. She also competed in the $5,000 Mini Prix, placing fourth with NLF Valhall. In the Large Junior 16-17 Hunters, Lene was aboard NLF Shakespeare’s Rhythm and Pristine Park to earn top ribbons throughout the division.
“The show couldn’t have been better,” expressed Lene. “All my horses did exactly as I asked, and I really feel like we ended the year on the best note that we could.”
After an excellent year, Nordic Lights Farm will now give their horses a much-deserved break before gearing up for the 2012 Winter Equestrian Festival.
Nordic Lights Farm is a 70-acre establishment located in Tomball, TX, that was founded in 2007 by the Bruheim family to help further the equestrian goals of 18-year-old Eirin Bruheim and 16-year-old Lene Bruheim. Both girls have worked their way up through the ranks and are currently competing at the top levels in the hunter and jumper divisions aboard their incredible string of horses.
