Upperville, VA – June 4, 2025
Wheatland Farm is thrilled to share another memorable day at the 2025 Upperville Colt & Horse Show! The morning began bright and early with Anthony Forrest and the talented young Diamo AWH, known affectionately as “Danny,” competing in the 3’ Green Hunter division. In the elegant setting of the Parker Ring, Danny delivered a lovely round, confident, composed, and truly looking the part of a future star. It was a beautiful performance that set the tone for the day.
Following a short break, Anthony and Danny returned to the ring for the prestigious Founder’s Cup—one of Upperville’s most competitive and iconic classes. Despite the elite company, Danny once again rose to the occasion, showing remarkable maturity and athleticism for such a young horse. His performance exceeded all expectations, and we couldn’t be prouder of how well he handled the atmosphere, pressure, and class.
Looking ahead to Thursday, the excitement continues. Mackenzie Brown will begin her final preparations for her Saturday debut in the Parker Ring as part of the Para Dressage Exhibition—an Upperville first. Meanwhile, Anthony and Danny will return to the Hunter side for the aptly named Handy Hunter class, promising yet another opportunity to shine under the oaks.
A special moment we’re all eagerly anticipating: Wheatland’s own Irish Tenor Mark Forrest will have the honor of opening the $25,000 International Hunter Derby with the singing of the national anthem. Join us at approximately 3:45 PM at the Parker Ring for what is sure to be a stirring start to one of the show’s most celebrated events.
We’re deeply proud of our horses, riders, and the entire Wheatland team. Thank you to all who continue to support us along the way—we can’t wait to see what the rest of Upperville brings!
