Hallmark star Alison Sweeney focused on what may well be her favorite role over the weekend. Her daughter, Megan Sweeney, competed in a horse show and the “Hannah Swensen Mysteries” star was her top cheerleader on the sidelines.
Alison Sweeney Was Overjoyed With Her Daughter’s Performance
The 16-year-old equestrian won the medium junior jumper classic category during the Desert Circuit 10 competition over the weekend. She rides with the Twisted Tree Farm Stables, and the organization hyped her win at the top of an Instagram post on March 16.
After the competition, Alison Sweeney shared a screenshot from the day via her Instagram Stories. She used the Sia song “Unstoppable” to accompany her story, which certainly seemed fitting.
The screenshot included tags for the Instagram pages of the horse park where the competition was held and the stable the teen works with. There were also tags for an assistant trainer and one of the owners of the stable.
Text on the screenshot read, “Fastest jump off to win the 1.35 jr jumper classic!”
Sweeney added, “I love watching Gus & Megan together! Such a #team!”
It would seem that “Gus” is the nickname for Megan Sweeney’s horse, whose full, official name is Yalambis Grazi.
The Teen Described Her Horse As ‘Perfect’
The teen shared a few tidbits about her weekend win on social media as well. In her Instagram Stories, she reshared some posts from others and added a few comments of her own.
With one Instagram Story, she wrote, “One word to describe Gus today: Perfect.” In another, she noted she was “So proud of the [rocket emoji].” It appears she refers to Gus as a rocket regularly.
A video clip she reshared from someone else showed her finishing her run and pumping her fist in the air. The commentator could be heard pointing out the fist pumping and adding, “What a rider.”
Another photo reshared to her Instagram Stories showed Megan Sweeney atop Gus. She added the caption, “Gus and I WIN the 1.35 jr classic!! So proud of team TTF this week!”
In November 2022, Sweeney gushed over her daughter in another horse-related Instagram post. “So proud of Megan – she stayed cool under pressure to finally earn a ribbon in a competition she has been working towards for several years now,” the Hallmark star wrote.
She added, “[To be honest], I’m not sure I couldn’t handled it that ell at her age … or now for that matter.”
