DECEMBER 11, 2025— The 124th National Horse Show and Family Festival was held Dec. 5th—9th in Wellington, Fl., at the Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Center, and several members of the Flashpoint Media family had impressive results during the highly competitive week.
After taking 1st place in Round 1 of the Young Jumper Championships 6-Year-Old division aboard Mill Creek Early Morning, Sergio Campos, of Longwood, Fl., qualified for the final round, the YJC International, held Dec. 9th in the International Arena. Campos added another ribbon to his collection when he and the young mare, owned by Canada’s Mill Creek Stables, captured 4th place in the finals out of 15 entries.
In November Campos lead the victory gallop at the Atlanta Fall Classics Week II Welcome Stake with his homebred mare Shakira do Jacare.
Over in the pony ring at Wellington, Lucille Oken, of Charlotte, N.C. and her pony Hi Lite were presented with Reserve Champion honors in the Small Pony Hunter division. Oken, who rides with Robert Hunt and the Monroe, N.C.-based Hunters Lane Farm, is capping off a stellar season. This fall on the Indoor circuit, the dynamic duo Oken and Hi Lite were Reserve Champions at Capital Challenge, 2nd in the Pony Medal at the Washington International Horse Show, and Reserve Champions again at the Indoor finale in Harrisburg, PA. In November, the team was champion in the Small Pony division at the Atlanta Fall Classic.
“Hi Lite has been just perfect,” said Oken, 12, of her 9-year-old chestnut pony. “He’s been jumping so well and has had a great year.”
As the 2008 season gets underway Campos and the riders of his Longwood Equestrian Center will next drop anchor in Ocala for the HITS Ocala shows. Oken and team Hunters Lane meanwhile will next show in Wellington at the Winter Equestrian Festival.
Congratulations to Sergio and Lucille!
