2011 Dressage at Devon

What a week! Hannah was able to drive up with me and help me out with the horses, and take some wonderful photos. Charleston was very well behaved in this crazy atmosphere at Devon and placed in the Suitability for 4 Year Old Horses. Foley had a great week!! He was the winner of the Suitability for 5 and 6 Year Old Horses, his first (and hopefully not last!) blue ribbon at Devon! Foley put in a stellar FEI 5 Year Old test to score a 7.72 and 2nd place, and also winning the All-American Hanoverian Young Dressage Horse Award for being the highest placed US born Hanoverian being sired by an AHS Elite Stallion in the FEI Young Horse class. Braxton was phenomenal! In the first few Fourth Level tests, we had some problems with a bit of spookyness in the walk work, which cost him a few wins. However, he was able to put in a great, clean Fourth Level Test 3 for a 74.083%. Nothing like saving the best for last! He was the highest scoring Fourth Level horse at Dressage at Devon and won a fancy trophy and neck ribbon. Veni came along as well for a bit of schooling, and was perfect.
