Local stables brag on students’ accomplishments

BROCK — Alamo Stables of Weatherford has been open less than a year and is already boasting great accomplishments in the show ring.

Young riding students attended their first two show competitions and took home all around honors.

Colten Rundell, 15, riding Son’s Silver ‘N Gold, captured the High Point Buckle at the Parker County 4-H Horse Show June 6, by competing in halter, showmanship, western pleasure, horsemanship, trail, English riding, barrels, poles and stakes.

Bianca Peck, 9, on Archie’s Scooter, took Grand Champion High Point at the Bella Rosa Farms Open Show in Rio Vista last weekend. Her barn teammate, Garrett Peck, 9, riding Chance, came in only 3 points behind and nabbed the Reserve Champion High Point. Both Bianca and Garrett competed in numerous western riding classes including halter and showmanship against adults and trainers and came home with more than 30 ribbons between them.

Owners/trainers, Bonnie and Darrell Rundell, expressed great pride in these youngsters and their accomplishments.

“These kids are unbelievable!” both Rundells agreed, “They work so hard, and are such great sports — always cheering each other on and congratulating all the winners in each event.”

Alamo Stables is located on Old Brock Road and offers riding lessons, training, boarding, day camps and clinics, as well as a wonderful location for weddings, parties and reunions.
