I still have a house in Unionville because I go back there Sept- Dec. to hunt with Cheshire. I am on the Board of the hunt and still serve as a field master. I will be starting my 71st season of hunting with them this fall.
During the 26 years I lived at Fox HIll Farm in Unionville, I hosted a myriad of DVCTA and Pony Club functions: clinics, dressage shows, combined training events, rallies, etc. After I married Don Jefferis I sold Fox HIll, but continued to host equine functions at my new Unionville home- Laurel HIll Farm. After Don died, I sold Laurel Hill and am living in on my ranch in WY Jan.- Aug. I am still actively riding while doing ranch work, and until the virus shut everything down, I was enjoying riding in Dressage competitions here: both eastern and western dressage.
In 1948 I was the youngest rider at the Devon Horse Show. I have competed in driving competitions, events, and dressage. I had the incredible blessing of going to Seoul for the 1988 olympics. Being part owner of Orpheus, Jessica Ransehousen's mount, I got an owners pass and could get behind the scenes for all horse activities- incredible pinnacle of my many. many horse related blessings over the years.
Every year my local community here in Clark, WY has a parade. Fortunately we were able to have it again this year. I decided that a bit of levity might be appreciated in this year of difficulty for many, so I provided that to the spectators. I rode Leroy, my 2 yr. old black and white paint. We have given this community a whole new definition for the word "cowgirl". Getting Leroy broken and riding him was a first for me in my many years of riding. I have titled this photo: "Silliness at 75". Best, Judy Donaldson Jefferis
