"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it." ~ Peter Pan
What a day and night!!! Shane Sweetnam, and the Tomeu Sisters just WON the 7th Annual Charity Event!! What a feat against 34 other teams. Shane on Darero as Peter Pan, Kaely on Belle Bleu S as Wendy, and Lindsey on Bonapart as Tinkerbell win $150,000 for their charity George Snow Scholarship. There are a lot of kids who will now be able to get incredible educations.This is really what its all about at the end of the day...http://www.scholarship.org/index.php…
From the George Snow Facebook Page:
Spy Coast & Preston sponsored our team in addition to corporate sponsor Fidelity Investments®. The theme of the event was "Fairy Tale," and our three riders dressed the part of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and Wendy from the famous children's story. Lindsay Tomeu (dressed as Wendy) jumped first at the 1.10m height with Bonapart, a 15-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding. Kaely Tomeu, (as Tinker Bell) was next riding Belle Bleu S, a 15-year-old Holsteiner mare. Shane Sweetnam, (as Peter Pan) anchored the team at the 1.30m level, flying through the course aboard Darero, an eight-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding. Together, the horses and riders completed the fastest time of 89.55 seconds to win the top prize of $150,000 for the George Snow Scholarship Fund.
“First of all, we want to thank every rider that rode in this event,” Tim Snow stated. “With the conditions that we had with the rain, they really had a lot of heart, and they gave a lot to all the charities that are going to benefit from this event. It was an amazing night all the way around. When our team came out, we did not really know what to expect. We met our team earlier and they seemed very confident, so that felt good. But when they went out and they turned in the time that they did, which was so substantially under everybody else, we could not believe it. It was amazing. They are obviously a very talented team and they showed it tonight for sure.”
The George Snow Scholarship Fund wishes to thank our riders, team sponsors, the Bellissimo Family and everyone involved in this amazing event.
And in the top ten was Richard Moloney, Lacey Gilbertson and Tracey Gorin-Byrne in 9th place for the Charity Urban League Palm Beach.http://www.ulpbc.org/. Congratulations to both teams and charities!!
