Wellington, FL – March 19, 2013 – Amateur rider Eirin Bruheim is continuing to shine for her home country of Norway aboard her new mounts NLF Billy On Show and NLF Newsflash during Week 10 of the prestigious Winter Equestrian Festival. This week, she advanced NLF Billy On Show to the High Amateur-Owner division, resulting in a third place ribbon, while NLF Newsflash picked up the second place award in the Medium Amateur-Owner Jumpers.

Bruheim and NLF Billy On Show were right on point for their first day in the RCG Farm High Amateur-Owner Jumpers. The pair was quick and clear over the technical speed track to eventually claim the third place award. Later in the week, they competed in the $10,000 Show Jumping Hall of Farm High Amateur-Owner Classic. Bruheim and NLF Billy On Show were excellent over the course and accrued just eight faults at the final fences to finish just outside of the ribbons.

During Week 10, Bruheim and NLF Newsflash returned the Medium Amateur-Owner Jumpers. They started the week with a sixth place ribbon in the first class. A clear round in the second class helped them move up to the second place position in the speed class, finishing just 2/100ths of a second off of the leader.

“This was a really good week for my horses,” noted Bruheim. “This week Billy and I moved up to the High Amateur-Owners and he jumped really well. NLF Newsflash was phenomenal as well, and was really fast in the speed class this week. I was so glad they put the classics in the International ring. My horses love that ring and jumped amazingly.”

Nordic Lights Farm will continue showing at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL. Bruheim and Hough will compete in the jumper divisions with their talented mounts, and Pletcher will return to the derby ring with NLF Shakespeare’s Rhythm.

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 20-year-old Eirin Bruheim and 18-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.
