*Liza Richardson and ShineThe series has been generously sponsored by Victoria Hunton of Olde Oaks Farm. Home of Hunter Derby Champion Shine, Olde Oaks Farm has been heavily involved with breeding and showing Hunters for many years. Owner Vicki Hunton understands the importance of growing the breeding industry and felt that the Super Series Group could continue to do the job here in Texas by adding a Hunter Breeding Program to their already successful Texas Pre-Green Program. Trainer Liza Richardson stated, "I love to raise and train the young horses, and this is a great opportunity for both the trainers and the breeders. This program creates such incentive for people to own and train young horses. I can't wait to see where it leads!"Sponsorships of both the Texas Hunter Breeding and Texas Pre-Green Programs are available, as well as for our Championship event.
