Dressage at Silverwood June 11-13

Another good horse show!  We lucked out on the weather as it looked like it was going to thunderstorm everyday, but we only had one little rain shower.  Nicole did a great job, and received 65%’s in her Jr Team and Individual tests!  Foley had a terrific weekend, had the high score of the show on Friday with a 73% at Training 4, got a 77% in his material class, and a 75% in the USEF 4 Year Old test!  Pip was super, we had very rideable piaffe and passage work, received no scores lower than a 6 on those movements, and lots of 7′s!  Improvement!  Janet Foy gave us a 66.8% for a very consistent I-2 test.  We debuted our Grand Prix Freestyle, and it was a success!  I decided to change the entire piaffe-passage-trot routine Thursday night before the show (choreography and music)!  So Friday was my first time riding through the new freestyle. It went well, and we had a great time, a 74%!  I showed it again on Saturday, and had just about as good of a ride, and equally as much fun, for a 72.75%!  Now, off to Lamplight and hope it just isn’t beginners luck!
