Six Enchanted Hollow Miniature horses received nine Hall of Fame awards at the AMHR Convention in Buffalo, NY, in November 2007.

 

And ...

 

Enchanted Hollow horses claimed four of the top seven Hall of Fame rankings for the 2007 AMHR show season, including the first, third and fourth spots. Overall, Enchanted Hollow had seven horses in the top 34 of those Hall of Fame rankings, which include Under and Over minis.


Classique's Phantom Gold led the nation with 494 Hall of Fame points in 2007. His point total was the highest among both Under and Over horses. It highlighted an historic season for Phantom, who reached Hall of Fame status in Park Harness in 2007 to become the first AMHR horse ever to enter the Hall of Fame in eight classes. He will continue to compete in Versatility in 2008, a class in which he needs just 15 points to attain HOF status in a ninth class. It would leave just one class in which he does not have Hall of Fame status -- obstacle.

D&S Double Dutch Chocolate clinched Hall of Fame status in both Country Pleasure Driving and Roadster, an event he had not competed in until the '07 show season. Dutch ranked third in the nation in HOF points in 2007 with 373.

Mini Bucks Little Sabrina earned entry into the Hall of Fame in Pleasure Driving and Hunter and is just one point shy of the HOF in Jumper. She had not competed in Hunter or Jumper events until the '07 show season. She ranked seventh in the nation in 2007 with 299 Hall of Fame points.

Whispering Hill Farm Magician, already in the HOF for Hunter and Jumper, made the Hall of Fame in Roadster in 2007. He capped an outstanding show season by winning Open Roadster Over at the AMHR Nationals. And he ranked fourth in the nation in 2007 with 369 Hall of Fame points.

Olive Branches Black Tie Affair went into the Hall of Fame in Hunter and Jumper in 2007, and ranked 34th in the nation  in overall HOF points with 142.


Mini Bucks Pure Nitro attained Hall of Fame status in Country Pleasure Driving. Nitro, who had not competed in Country Pleasure before the '07 show season, had eight Stakes wins and accumulated 169 HOF points. He already was in the HOF in Halter and Pleasure Driving. He ranked 11th in the nation in 2007 with 230 HOF points. Quail Creek's Rumorhasit, already in the Hall of Fame for Halter, Jumper and Hunter, ranked 21st in overall HOF points with 170 in 2007.

The 2007 AMHR Nationals started great for our family -- sort of.

Samantha was announced as the winner of the 12-Under Youth Hunter class with Rumor. She had her picture taken with Rumor and received a huge trophy, a medal, a commemorative horse head and the blue ribbon.

A few minutes later, an announcement was made saying that, oops, the wrong Sansevere kid was awarded the win in Youth Hunter. Sawyer actually won the class with Magic, and Sami had to hand over all her winnings. She and Rumor finished seventh in the class. That evening, Sami and Rumor won Youth Jumper and this time her national championship wasn't taken away. 

It was the start of a great show. Everyone in the family who showed at the 2007 AMHR Nationals won a national championship. 

Samantha led the way with three national titles -- 12-Under Youth Jumper with Rumor, and Youth Roadster and Youth Country Pleasure with Dutch. Spencer won both 7-Under Pleasure classes -- the Under division with Sabrina and the Over division with Frenchy.

Magic was a star, winning three national championships and two Reserve National titles. Besides his win with Sawyer, Magic also won Amateur Park Harness with Mary driving and Open Roadster with Bob. In that highly competitive Roadster class, Frenchy finished third with Don Maas driving and Dutch was eighth with Mary. 

Phantom won the Amateur Park Harness national title and claimed a Reserve National title in Youth Roadster. He also finished fifth in every adult Roadster class he entered -- Amateur, Open, Ladies and Stakes. 

In all, we won nine AMHR National titles and four Reserve National titles, and had nine top threes, 40 top fives and 65 top tens. Six of our horses won national titles.

We eclipsed our 2006 AMHR Nationals totals, when we won three national championships, four reserve national titles, 22 top fives and 45 top 10s. At the 2005 AMHR Nationals, we won two national championships, five reserve national titles, 19 top fives and 39 top 10s. Since 2005, Enchanted Hollow horses have won 14 AMHR national championships, 13 reserve national titles, 81 top fives and 149 top tens.
 

The three national championships in 2006 came in Hunter and Jumper events. Mary won Open Hunter Over with Rumor, and Bob won Amateur Jumper Over with Magic and Open Jumper Under with Phantom. Bob had the fastest time of both Open Jumper classes, winning his class by more than three seconds. 

Samantha also had success jumping in 2006, finishing with a reserve national title in 12-Under Hunter Over with Rumor. She also finished sixth with Magic in the event. In Jumper classes, Samantha had a fourth with Tie (Under) and a third with Rumor (Over). Katie Kugel had a ninth with Magic in the 13-17 Jumper class. No other farm had as much overall success in the jumping classes. 

Samantha also had a reserve national championship in the Roadster Under class with Phantom, and was third in Roadster Over with Magic. Sawyer had an outstanding show, too. He had top five and top 10 finishes in Roadster and Country Pleasure classes, and finished eighth in a tough costume class. He received one of the three first-place votes in the class. 

In his AMHR Nationals debut, Spencer, then 4, had reserve national championships in 7-Under Pleasure Driving with Magic and Country Pleasure Driving with Sugar. 

In 2005, Phantom's 16 top 10s made him the third most ribboned horse at that AMHR nationals. Phantom's 2006 Adult Jumping championship followed up his 2005 national championship in the Amateur Hunter Jumping Under division with Bob. 

In 2005, Phantom also won reserve national titles with Bob in Open Jumping and with Samantha in Youth 12 and Under Roadster and Pleasure Driving. He also was third with Sawyer in Youth 7 and Under Pleasure Driving in 2005.Magic won the 2005 Amateur Hunter Jumping Over division, also with Bob. 

Rumor's 2006 national championship was his first. In 2005, he picked up a national reserve title in Amateur Hunter Jumping Over, and was fifth in Amateur Jumping. He finished third in Youth Jumping with Samantha, missing a national reserve title by one-fourth of a second and a national title by less than one second. 

Rumor has had three great jumping seasons in a row. He got his Hall of Fame in Hunter in 2006. In 2005, he won a world championship at the Pinto World competition also held at Expo Square in Tulsa.
