The Show goes on.

Ah, Horse Crazy and lovin' it!

            So, I FINALLY.......passed my HB! I am so relieved! I really felt like I had it in the bag this time. It is so nice to have that weight off my shoulders. Though, I did not end up doing my C-3. I would rather be over prepared than go and wing it. After hearing from a fellow HB candidate (Who also got her HB! Go Zoe!) after the C3 testing, I found out that no one passed. One girl passed the 1st day of testing, then trailerd her horse home and the girl ended up getting hurt. Which is really too bad. My thought is, if no one out of the 15 candidates that signed up this year (only 5 showed to the testing) and no one passed, that the changes and expansion of the expectations plus the increased expenses it is going to make the upper levels very hard to attain.  Passing your A now, or when I may be able to have that opportunity, it is going to be super crazy.

         Enough about ratings. On to the horses! Duelli is doing well at the moment. We are going through some "holes" in our training at the moment. Everyone goes through it. She has been doing SO well at shows! Let's see.....

FPC Ultimate, we competed Novice. Got a 28 in dressage and one rail in the stadium portion of the course. Ended in 1st!

Infinity 2-phase, we competed both Novice and Training! Got a 37 in Training with a clear stadium round. A 35 in Novice with two rails. (My bad, I was trying to clean it up too much) We got 1st in training (we were the only ones) and 3rd in Novice!

USEA Snowfields, we competed Novice. Got a 36.5, double clear stadium, and three refusals XC. Yes, I was a little disappointed. But, hey, it happens! We got a pretty pink ribbon though!

MeCTA Snowfields, we competed Novice. Got a 40 in our dressage. She was VERY tense, but we got through it. 1 rail in stadium, and.......CLEAR XC! It is such an accomplishment when you have problems from a show two weeks before, and work on it and it pays off! We ended in 2nd! Very proud.

Keri and Dixie have been doing fantastic together. Dixie is really coming back so well. I'm trying to bring her back slowly so we do not have any issues in the long run. Love my pony <3
