Katy, TX – October 5, 2011 – It was a great week for the horses of Nordic Lights Farm during the GSEC Fall Classic, held at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, TX, from September 28 – October 2, 2011. Junior rider Lene Bruheim competed aboard Elisabeth Bruheim’s Pristine Park for the first time and the duo proved very successful. They were the winners of the Children’s Hunter Classic, as well as the Children’s Equitation Over Fences for Nordic Lights Farm.

After winning the first round of the Children’s Hunter Classic, Lene and Pristine Park returned to the ring and laid down a beautiful trip that received the highest score of the day and eventually garnered them the blue ribbon prize. The pair also went on to receive the top call in the Children’s Equitation Over Fences for their impressive partnership.

“Pristine Park was awesome to ride this weekend,” commented Lene. “He was a touch fresh the first day, but amazing the second day. I couldn’t ask for a more willing horse to mount, and I really started to get the hang of his ride by the Children’s Hunter Classic.”

During the GSEC Fall Classic, Lene trained with professional rider Shannon Slyfield, who has ridden Pristine Park to many excellent ribbons. This week, Slyfield and Pristine Park took home a third and fifth place award in the Performance Working 3’3″ Hunter division.

Nordic Lights Farm is a 70-acre establishment located in Tomball, TX, and 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.
