Wow! What a fun weekend we had at Ft. Vancouver!
As I watched videos and thought about the show, I realized something pretty cool! Every single horse and rider at this show was OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE!!! It would be so easy to sign up for rides that we have done before, but all of you pushed yourselves!
Sarah/Bella: had never done 2nd level before, and their tests were steady and accurate... and qualifying scores!!
Monica/Gen: had never done 1st level at a recognized show before and got 2 qualifying scores!
Lisa/Percy: Lisa rode Percy exactly TWO times before taking him to the show, and Percy had been off for 6 weeks! They did great, and got qualifying scores for ODS championships!
Wromeo: His FIRST real show ... he got a 62.8% at Training 4. What a great score for a horse that has only been in training for a few months!
Welka: Her FIRST real show ... she had scores in the 60s, including a 63.5% at Training 4. She was able to get this score after standing for 20 minutes, 2 warm-up circles and into the ring!
William: Had never done anything higher that PSG - several years ago. He went out at Intermediarre II (baby Grand Prix) and was AWESOME!!! We have some work to do on his Piaffe, but the ones were great (this had been his challenge!)
Ali: This was his FIRST real show, and he was very well-behaved! He went in the ring and gave it his all! His scores were mid-high 60s... quite good for first show!
What a great show.... I can't wait for the next one!
