Atlanta Spring Classic I – Cherry Blossom Week
We finished our first week of Atlanta today with great weather and lots of entries. We were very lucky this week when the giant storms made their way east; they split and went north and south of the show grounds and we had only minutes of rain instead of hours.
At the top of the Grand Prix ring, the city of Conyers hosts the Cherry Blossom Festival. This year, I was told, the crowds were heading towards the record books. It’s been great to share our week with the city and the festival.
The winner of the Cherry Blossom $25,000 Grand Prix was Robert Lee aboard his mount El Grecco. Robert was also second on his other horse Acrobat. I also have to add that Robert shows in the Amateur Owner Hunters and was Reserve Champion on his horse Shock Top. A man for all seasons. Congrats Robert – glad you are showing at our shows this spring.
