Traverse City, Mich. – Aug. 13, 2020 – Returning to the show ring after a hiatus due to COVID-19 event cancelations and postponements, the horses and riders at Bluman Equestrian showed off their well-honed skills after an extended training period at Flintfields Horse Park in Traverse City. The team competed during one week of the Traverse City Spring Horse Show, presented by Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel, in June, then returned to Michigan for the final two weeks of the six-week Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, presented by CaptiveOne Advisors LLC.
“We are so proud of all of our horse-and-rider pairs that competed in Traverse City, whether they were showing at the 0.85m level or in the grand prix. This has been a very unusual year for everyone and flexibility has been important when it comes to training and competing, so all of us at Bluman Equestrian were thrilled to see everyone do so well. They all jumped right back into the ring, shook the rust off and were amazing. We could not have asked for better performances and hope to see this trend continue,” commented Steven Bluman, one of the core members of Bluman Equestrian.
