On Saturday, December 12th, 2016 we had our very first OPEN HOUSE.

We were joined by many guests who came and met the horses of Kings Corner and enjoyed Pony Rides. It was such a huge success we will be going another one in the spring. Stay tuned for more info!

   Taurie Banks, of Fillmore, returned home from the 2013 Pinto Horse World Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with two World Championship titles and three Reserve Championships.

   Riding the Black and White Stallion, See En Magic, owned by Sue and Richard Fleczok of Simi Valley, she won the Open First Level Dressage. She received a World Championship Buckle, Ribbon and a World Championship Jacket. See En Magic went on to make the Top Ten with a Sixth Place in Open Hunters Over Fences and Fifth Place in the Open Jumpers. He also placed Fifth in the Open Hunter Hack.

   “I am so happy with Wizard (See En Magic)!” Banks said. “It has been a lot of work to get here, but Wizard was amazing. He really showed he trusted me in the ring, and relaxed, and gave me his best! I didn't know we had won, but it felt like a World Championship Ride!” She went on to add, “In the jumping, he was so relaxed and easy to ride. I really was able to enjoy the whole World Show experience”.

   Sue Fleczok, owner of See En Magic stated, “I am so glad that we found Taurie. She has the patience and the ability to read the horses, and work with them through any issues they might have.”

   Taurie also rode her American Paint Horse Stallion, Tribal King, winning the Open Western Dressage Level 2 World Championship Title and Reserve Champion. “This is a fairly new discipline in horse sports and I am very excited about it's future.” Taurie said. “My horse and I pushed ourselves to compete in the highest levels currently offered for Western Dressage and it paid off! Tribal King is such a supple, and flexible horse, he makes these harder tests a lot of fun.”

   Tribal King also won Reserve World Champion in the Open English Dressage Second Level the day before, and was Reserve World Champion in the Open Jumping, missing the World Championship title by just a few seconds. He also placed Fifth in the Open Working Hunters.

   “This was an amazing experience!” Taurie gleamed. “I had the opportunity to ride two amazing horses, in three completely different disciplines. My goal was to try and make the Top Ten in all my classes and I came home with Five Champion and Reserve Championship Buckles, and all my rides were in the Top Seven.”

   Tribal King was also awarded Reserve Show Champion for the Open Hunter Type Horses for the entire two week show, even though he only competed for three days.

   Taurie would like to thank Richard and Sue Fleczok for the opportunity to ride See En Magic and support they have shown in making this show a possibility. She would also like to thank her amazing, hard working groom, Bailey Brantley, who made sure the horses needs were always taken care of.

   Taurie Banks is the Owner and Trainer at Kings Corner Training Stables in Fillmore. 

Kings Corner Pony Club may be small but we are mighty!

Bailey Brantley, Jasmin Parson and Jillian Morris all competed at the Shepherd Ranch Horse Trails this August. It was the first Horse Trial for Jillian, Jasmin and her horse, and for Bailey's new mount, Boy's Knight Out.

In a weekend of firsts the girls were relaxed and professional and demonstrated great sportsmanship.

Bailey finished a respectable 7th in the Intro division, with a clean cross country and stadium. Jillian had a lovely Dressage, placing her 6th, but had an unfortunate parting of the ways with Abby on cross country. She came back to put in a solid stadium round.

Jasmin, coming back from vehicle accident surprised us all by putting in three solid rides to finish 4th overall. She was also 2nd place in the Adult Team challenge and was the best scor for Pony Club at the Intro Level.

Not bad for their first time out! We are all so proud of them and excited for the future!

Kings Corner Riders have been making a bright impression at the local shows lately. 

In March, Jillian Morris on Yours For A Knight, won the jumping round at the Meadows of Moorpark and moved up to compete successfully and with style to the Easy Beginner Novice Division. Jasmin Parson on her adorable JuJu Bee Alexander stunned everyone with a fabulous performance at her first English competition. Tribal Colours moved up to Beginner Novice scoring a 29 in Dressage, and Seen En Magic was fourth at his first Novice. 

At the Stadivarius Jumper shows, Tribal King has been learning to "turn and burn", and has come second in the $500 Mini Derby. See En Magic is showing his talent or catching air as he starts to compete in the 3' division and consistantly places. Amanda Foster and Three Boys Pal proved they are not just a pretty face in the Hunter ring, and won two Jumper Classes. 

Our new riders, Isabela Ibarra and Sarah Hagel came out for their first show with class and style. They competed at the ETI Corral 57 Horse Show in Ojai. Sarah won many seconds against our own Darian binkley, who walked away with High Point. Sarah also received  a fabulous compliment from the judge on her equitation! Isabela won two of her Classes and went on to win High Point. 

Congratulations to all the horses and riders for the fabulous performances and great sportsmanship. You are all so professional and enjoyable to spend the day with! Bravo!
