Tana and Simco had a fantastic day, they looked so great around the course and finished in 6th!!
Chuck survived his second bn horse trial with a few bumps but his confidence keeps growing with every outing! Thank you Caroline Steele for supporting his progress, he is such a good boy!
Rod was super at Blue Horse, every time he comes out we can see the progress he has made. He has gotten so much stronger over this summer thank you Suzanne for your support with this guy!
Jess had great day at Loch Moy Farm with Cruiser, xc still throws some challenges in the heat but sitting in 2nd place after sj shows just how far they have come!!! Thank you Sheri Knauer who kept us all well hydrated and fed! And of course Emily Burnham for letting us use Cruiser!
Great schooling show at By Chance, Betsy put in one of her most rideable tests yet and won cash, Wilson stepped back up to 3rd, and Rascal made his 1st level debut! As always Laura Dubil Otten was the best owner and kept me hydrated, thank you Miranda Van Hemert-Hartsock for grooming!
Could not be more proud to coach this pair, Kailyn St. Germain and Sophie crushed it at the Loch Moy Farm 1*!!! This was the best riding I have seen from Kailyn all year and it really paid off with a 4th place finish! Truly amazing!!!
Miranda and Cruiser had their second outing together at Blue Horse farm and showed so much progress, the confidence is showing with the consistancy through this entire test!!!
Jess tackled her first recognized horse trial with cruiser at Loudoun, so proud of what this pair has been able to do, grit and hard work will always get you to your goals!!
Roxy was fantastic at Loudoun, looking glad to her novice move up in the fall!!!
Tana and Simco were back out at Seneca and did a fantastic job finding great pace on xc even with a loose horse running across their path!!
Willie was fantastic at Seneca, jumped very well and ate the xc up with no problems, next event we will need a move up i think!
Roxy was super for her first recognized beginner novice at Middleburg, dressage is a challenge but she jumped around perfectly and has started to find confidence in xc, she won't be at this level long!
A little more dressage a Morven Park Betsy was very good with only one spook in her test and the highest submission score yet!! Ro was the most rideable he had ever been and didn't get strong in the canter!! Wilson was Wilson and tested my riding throughly but of course still managed some high scores between the shenanigans 😆
All the horses brought their sparkle at Loch Moy Farm Betsy is maturing and settling with every outing, Ro scored well and keeps getting stronger, Wilson was strong but put in very rideable trot work and Addie with Honor improved their score leaps and bounds over their last time out and continue to gain confidence in national competition!
Chuck was so fantastic at his first elmentary! Finishing in the ribbons on his dressage score, I love this little guy!
Leon was fantastic for his first novice! He was so relaxed and produced his best dressage test! He was strong and bold to the fences i couldn't be more pleased with him!!
We went for a little dressage schooling at Celebration farm, Betsy was a good girl in a very spooky arena. Rachael and Leon came back together for the first time in a while and did a beautiful job! Maranda picked up a ride on Honor with little notice but stepped up her geometry and rode very well!
I wasn't able to stay the whole weekend but it was so fun going to VHT to coach Kailyn St. Germain and Sophie through their first FEI, it can be intimidating in the big ring but they did such an amazing job getting a personal best in dressage and jumping around xc and sj beautifully, glad I could help her feel extra sparkly!
Addie and Honor ventured out to Loch Moy Farm for their first recognized dressage show with the help of Alisa. So proud of the progress this pair has made!
Catching up a bit more, we had the most amazing time with Ernest Dillon Showjumping Clinics. This was the best attended yet and everyone learned so much! Every level of horse and rider made it through every type of weather and put out some teriffic jumping! Cant wait to do it again!
