October 1, 2015 – Cambridge, Ontario – Mill Creek Stables of Cambridge, ON, has sold Mill Creek Golden Time to Jennifer Berol Bliss as a high performance hunter and derby prospect.

Purchased by Mill Creek Stables less than a year ago in Germany, Mill Creek Golden Time first showed in the young horse classes for show jumping in Europe where she won with little effort. After being sent to the United States as a sales prospect, Mill Creek Golden Time had spectators sitting up and taking notice of her extraordinary talent and ring presence when she debuted in the hunter ring at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL.

“Partnering with Sergio Campos, we sent her to Wellington, Florida as a green hunter,” explained Tonya Henning of Mill Creek Stables. “With Jeffrey Welles and Ed Copeland as her trainers, she was successfully given the proper introduction and education in the hunter ring.”

Welles, who has represented the United States at three World Cup Finals for Show Jumping, began showing the flashy six-year-old chestnut mare in the pre-green hunter division in Wellington before going on to earn top placings and championship titles at HITS Saugerties and the Lake Placid Horse Show, both in New York.

Mill Creek Golden Time has now been sold as a mount for Jennifer Bliss, a two-time USHJA International Hunter Derby Championships competitor. A young professional, Bliss operates Harris Hill Farm LLC.

“We would like to congratulate Jenn Bliss and her sponsor who purchased the horse with the High Performance Hunters and Hunter Derby classes in mind,” said Henning.

Henning is based at Sportpferde Ehning in Borken, Germany, in the heartland of horse sport breeding and competition. Working with her German partner, Phillip Knuesting, and her father, Phil Henning of Cambridge, ON, she specializes in identifying quality horses for the hunter/jumper market.

A state-of-the-art show jumping facility, Mill Creek Stables features 50 stalls with a spacious indoor arena, an impressive outdoor arena with natural obstacles designed by 1976 Olympic course designer Robert Jolicoeur, and endless turn-out options.
