Nov 2023 - DIHP Sunshine Series
Congrats to Pepper and Katie Bertrando on a successful return to the show ring!
At MVF, November means one thing: Sunshine Series. We packed up and hit the road for a fun two weeks of showing, where Katie Bertrando stepped back into the show ring after an 18-year hiatus.
Pepper and Katie looked like they never missed a day, earning top ribbons in the .75s and .80s, including a notable 3rd place in a competitive field of 46 riders. We look forward to watching Katie and Pepper continue to grow their partnership, both at home and in the show ring!

Oct 2023 - Medal Finals
MVF's talented riders rode their way to a collection of ribbons and unforgettable memories at this year's Medal Finals.
Leslie Biederman and Coeur de Lion secured Reserve Champion in the Horse n' Hound with several polished and consistent rounds. Rachel Lee, riding Afrojack, also soared high, securing a well-deserved 3rd place finish.
Both Leslie and Rachel clinched first place in two of their over fences rounds earlier in the week, as well.
Our warmest congratulations to these exceptional horses and riders. Their results are a testament to the countless hours of preparation and training that brought them to this moment. We couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments this year.
sept 2023 - hampton classic
Lynn and Sarah took off to upstate New York earlier this month to course design for the Hampton Classic Horse Show. They spent 10 days building challenging hunter and equitation courses that gave each horse and rider the opportunity to dazzle the judges.
Lynn and Sarah have been invited back to course design for the Hampton Classic in 2024. Congratulations to our MVF trainers for being selected for this prestigious event! We are glad we get to benefit from their expertise in course design in our training at home and on the road.

November 2022 - International derby dreams
The whole MVF team travelled to Desert Horse Park to watch Lynn Mullins and Leslie Biederman's Coer De Lion compete in the $65,000 Regional Championship Hunter Derby.
Lynn and Cort demonstrated a beautiful round and were cheered on by family, friends, and teammates. The derby also fell on Lynn's 60th birthday, which gave even more cause for celebration. The class was Cort's first international derby, and he handled it with class and style, shining amidst a competitive field of horses and riders.
Congratulations to this pair and thank you to Leslie Biederman for making it happen!

May 2020 Newsletter
From all of us at Meadow View Farms , we hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented times. While the world is full of so much uncertainty, we are grateful that we have our incredible horses to keep us grounded until more normal days return!
It was with deep disappointment that Meadow View Farms announced the cancellation of the 2020 Meadow View Farms Charity Horse Show benefitting Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation after it became obvious that the impact COVID-19 has had on our local community would make it impossible to plan and host this event. However, we know the needs for the families supported by NNCCF are still great, so we are working together with them to come up with an alternative plan to raise funds for those families. Stay tuned!!
We can't wait to get back to horse shows, but we are grateful for all the smiles and fun we were able to have during our nine weeks at the Desert International Horse Parks inaugural winter series. It was the debut horse show for Bobby Malmrose , who took MVF's Magic for the series and came home with Mid-Circuit and Circuit Champion in his two divisions! The whole barn joined us for some fun and everyone had a great time! McKenna Owen and her 2 horses had an amazing show in their hugely competitive divisions - Espoir d'Usance RW was consistently in the ribbons in the 3' 6 Junior Hunters, and G Star RW was reserve champion in the Low Children's Jumpers and won the Classic with a blazing fast jump off! Laura-Ann Moore and Lucca moved up to the 2'9 and were in the ribbons every time - including the 2'9 USHJA hunters against all of the professionals! Grace Gerberry and Limbo de Cent were awesome in the 3' Children's Hunters and medals; consistently in the ribbons and work offs, and made the move up to the 3'3 medals which was a huge goal for Grace and Lance to reach their first week showing this year! Brogan Doolan and Greystoke worked hard and learned a lot in their first show together in the Equitation ring after "Johnny" spent his career as a jumper up until now. We love seeing their confidence and skills growing! Leslie Biederman had the privilege of leasing POTUS from JH Sporthorses for the show and they quickly formed a great partnership. They were in the ribbons in the hunters (in classes with over 65 horses!) and Amateur Equitation, and finished up 4th in the Amateur Hunter Classic! We had the typical highs and lows of a horse show but our barn family was there, cheering each other on for every class and we could not be more proud of the horsemen and friends they all are!
Congratulations to Bobby Malmrose on his two new horses purchased during the circuit! His jumper, Conquest RW , flew over from Holland and joined us for the show in the desert, and his new partner for the Equitation/Hunters, Santana , was purchased from Ighani Sporthorses with Micheal Endicott as agent. Both horses were champions in their divisions with Bobby and we are looking forward to a bright future with these fantastic horses! Also, welcome to Mia Parsons and her horse Dakota ... we look forward to working with them!
