Fire Run enjoys a fabulous Carousel Charity Horse Show!

Scottsdale is a beautiful place for a horse show, and Fire Run Farm brought their best to enjoy this gorgeous venue!

TREBLE’S PATENT PENDING GCH & Teri Rumens

Teri Rumens and TREBLE’S PATENT PENDING GCH topped the Morgan Amateur Western Pleasure division with a qualifying win followed by a championship victory pass.

They were also reserve in a large and competitive Ladies Western Pleasure class.

Teri also enjoyed a win in the Morgan Classic Pleasure Open saddle class with the beautiful STANDOFF. Proving their versatility, this team also earned a solid reserve in Classic Pleasure Driving Ladies.

Suzanne Haberek piloted the exciting World Champion FCM NO BOUNDARIES to a win in the Morgan Park Saddle Open qualifier, then stepped it up to win the Open Championship as well.

It was a great kickoff to our 2023 show season!

To our Fire Run Academy Family...

As a result of a necessary switch in directions for FIRE RUN FARM, including the effect of the pandemic on our business, Fire Run Farm has found it necessary to close the Academy program for new students and began phasing out the program completely in the fall of 2022.

If there are unused paid lessons, we will accommodate you with a final lesson/lessons or we will gladly issue a refund.

We have enjoyed building this incredible program and teaching so many wonderful students for 10 years.

Thank you all for your support and love of the farm and don’t hesitate to stop by and see us at the shows, which will be posted on our website. We will be concentrating on the show horses, the young stock and sales for now. Happy riding and thank you again!

Morgan Grand National and World Championships 2017 Recap

We like to stay on FIRE here in the Pacific North West! Continuing the tradition of breeding, raising, and training World Champion horses and teams, below is a little summary of the fun we have been up to.

Contenders:

  • Whispering Masterwork with Marina Abrams in the Classic Pleasure Driving Division.
  • EKL Shake It Off with John Huffard presented In-Hand
  • FCM No Boundaries in Park Saddle with Teri Rumens and Suzanne Haberek
  • Canabar Nickleback with Kayle Powlesland in the Hunt Seat Division
  • SSLLC Stop & Stare with Nicole Barbour and Suzanne Haberek in Hunter Pleasure Ladies
  • One Night Stand with Kayla Powlesland in Classic Pleasure Saddle
  • Deliver the Dream with Morgan Underwood in the 13&Under Classic Pleasure Saddle division

Results:

We all know the infamous lyrics by Taylor Swift:

"I never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don’t see, that's what they don’t see
I'm dancing on my own, I make the moves up as I go
And that's what they don't know, that’s what they don’t know

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying it's gonna be alright

...Baby, I'm just gonna....shake, shake, shake..."

EKL SHAKE IT OFF was indeed living up to the name as the UNANIMOUS VICTORY for both the Grand National 2 year old stallion and the WORLD CHAMPION Junior stallion division. Taking the industry by storm in his first-ever appearance.

The lightning on our feet didn't stop there.

Kayla Powlesland rode one bold and naturally talented gelding, One Night Stand, to the Grand National title and roses in the Classic Pleasure Saddle division for youth riders, and didn't stop there. She then rode for a strong reserve placing in the Grand National Classic Pleasure Saddle Stallion and Geldings division. Switching gears, she also rode Canabar Nickleback to a top 5 finish in the Grand National Hunter Seat Adult Equitation class - demonstrating her technique in the saddle.

Nicole Barbour with SSLLC Stop and Stare came through the gateway of Champions in a bold violet show coat, aboard this prancing bay hunter mare. Together they made strong appearance in the Hunter Pleasure Ladies Mare and Amateur Mare divisions, ultimately placing top 10 in what was probably the most competitive and voluminous Hunter division showing in Oklahoma to date.

A new team debuted in Oklahoma under the Fire Run Banner - Morgan Underwood, in her first year showing saddleseat is described as an enthusiastic rider, and always looking for continual growth and riding opportunities. She piloted her new mount - Deliver the Dream to top-10 finishes in the 13 and under Saddle Seat division, as well as Top 5 in a competitive World Championship for the division.

The Classic pleasure driving division didn't stand a chance with Fire Run Farm around. Marina Abrams drove right into the winner's circle with Whispering Masterwork with the reserve title in the Grand National Classic Pleasure Driving Ladies Gelding division. From there, their success continued for Top 5 finishes in a very competitive World Championship classes.

Teri Rumens climbed into the irons in the Grand National Park Saddle Division above the gleaming mare, FCM No Boundaries. And boundless they are, riding to reserve Grand National Champion Park Saddle Mare for the amateurs.

And then, there is the class of all classes, the part of the show the walk-trotters beg to stay up late to watch, the junior exhibitors color their notebooks with, and Amateurs applaud in awe. Class number 250, the last, but not least competition amongst competitors.

"Many aspire to even have a contender, let alone be in the running. It was a surreal moment for me" said Suzy Haberek, just days after the performance of a lifetime piloted this athletic mare to top 3 honors in the World Champion Park Saddle class.
