Elgin, IL – November 16, 2015 - Perfecta Farm is looking forward to the IHJA Year End Banquet on November 21st. The banquet celebrates the year of hard work, successful training and dedicated riders, as they are awarded their Championships for the season’s highest scoring horse and rider combinations. Rest assured, Perfecta Farm will have many of them, thanks to Kim Gardiner’s winning program.
With assistant trainers Mara Kranz-Olseng and Carmine D’Aversa, the team can cover all the bases for the different levels of riders at the farm. Perfecta Farm is no stranger to the winner’s circle, especially in the equitation divisions. From the National Medal Finals to the IHJA B Finals, Perfecta Farm has produced successful riders.
