Sea-Vu Farm in Boothbay debuted its first season under new management at the FEA Black Diamond Jubilee on June 1 and 2 at Skowhegan Fairgrounds.  

Katie Yereance and Amy Reny brought five horse and rider teams to compete at this inaugural show. Despite the oppressive heat, over 90 F all three days, team Sea-Vu brought their A game, with many top place finishes in several divisions.

Sea-Vu’s strong showing began with three entries in Youth Activity Showmanship Saturday morning. Ella Spear and CBMF Ruby; Hali Goodwin and CBMF Off the Charts; and Annielyn MacKusick and Sea-Vu Undeniable took second, third and fourth place, respectively.

Sea-Vu introduced two brand new show team members: Sydney Blake, who swept the Lead Line division with all blue ribbons aboard CBMF Ruby; and cowboy Griffin Yereance, who rode Sea-Vu Cock-a-doodle-doo to a second in Lead Line Pleasure and a third in Equitation. Both did an amazing job in their very first show.

Annielyn MacKusick had multiple great rides on Sea-Vu Undeniable and was rewarded with blue in both Morgan Hunter Pleasure and Morgan Jr. Exhibitor Pleasure. She also secured two second place finishes in Jr. Exhibitor Hack Horse or Pony and Youth Activity Pleasure Horse.

Hali Goodwin, with CBMF Off the Charts, and Ella Spear, with CBMF Ruby, brought Champion and Reserve Champion, respectively, in both Walk Trot Pleasure and Equitation 11-18 divisions. They delighted the crowd with their two joint victory passes dubbed “Sea-Vu Special” by Ricky Drew.

FEA put on a wonderful and fun show, with many great prizes, brave exhibitors who donned beautiful elaborate costumes despite the heat, and the highlight of Saturday evening was the very exciting ladies black diamond necklace class. We hope to see this show grow and be very successful in the future.

Sea-Vu will be heading next to Vermont Morgan, which hopefully will be cooler, but just as successful as this first show of the season.
