A busy weekend with the USEF Developing and Young Horse Championships being held at Lamplight as well as the open show.  In the open show Amanda’s horses were successful with Lancelot receiving a 60% in his first ever PSG, Braxton a 67.368% in the PSG, Charleston a 74.167% in T-1, Donarkeil a 76.129% in 1-3 and the star of the show, Duval, with a whopping 84.286% in T-2 and receiving a 9 on gaits from judge Linda Zang!

Ribbons!

Another successful weekend.  Braxton receives a 72.75% in 4-3 and a 70% in PSG, Foley a 74.132 in 1-1, and Charleston a 75.833%

The Lamplight July show was a busy day!  Amanda competed on 7 horses during this show.  All of the horses did so well!  Here are some highlights: Braxton 72% in 4-3 and a 68% in PSG, Lancelot 68.205% in 3-3, Foley 7.54 FEI 5 year old test and 74.793% in 1-1, Duval 7.32 FEI 5 year old test and 72.414% in 1-1, Donarkeil 76% in T-3, Charleston 72.4 in T-3, and Zavile with a 69.2 in T-3.  Nicole had a good show with Oxford receiving a 66% in the FEI Jr Individual Test.  Thank you to Hannah for helping out and taking great photos!

What was planned on being Braxton’s first road trip with us just to school at the horse show, turned into his show debut!  With a scratch in the PSG, we decided to go for it and enter last minute.  Duval and Charleston also competed, this time it was Charlies turn to take home the championship ribbon with a 72.083 at Training Level.

The youngsters were out at this show.  Charleston and Zavile made their Training Level debuts with scores in the 70′s for both of them.  Duval started the show with some young horse excitement, probably his worst test of the year, but then ended up a pro, bringing home the First Level high point with a 72.581%!

Zavile

Duval scored well at First level and earned a 73.871 in 1-3.  Dewie also performed a very good FEI 5 year old test with a 7.86.  The judges commented that he was going for a 10 on submission until a minor mishap in the second simple change. Bummer!  We almost held it together!  Foley earned a 7.32 in his FEI 5 Year Old Test.  Charleston came along for the ride and was at the show as a non compete.

Charleston is jealous of Duval's Champion ribbon, he wants one next time!

One day I had my camera with me and was able to take a few photos during this beautiful summer day while teaching.  Here you see Kaye-Eileen with Anakin and Jeni on Bueno.

Nicole was able to get some more miles competing Andorella!  Enjoy the pics from the show.

I am pleased to announce that Amanda Johnson Dressage is accepting select horses in training at Lamplight Equestrian Center.  I will be offering training and lessons only out of Lamplight Equestrian Center and Silverwood Farms.  Please see Contact Page for more details.

This show went very well!  Amazing weather all three days! Foley was Champion at First Level, Anakin was Champion at Third Level and Reserve Champion at Second Level.  Charleston had his very first show scoring a 75.8% in the Material for 4-5 Year Old Stallions and Geldings.  Duval was a star and showed a hint of what he is capable of putting down a stellar 1-1 Test scoring a 79.3% under judge Linda Zang.  In that test I also recieved my first 9 (three of them to be exact!!) for rider!!!!!  Renee had her first outing at I-2 with Abend and at Training Level with Donarkeil, and took home the amateur Championship at both levels.  Nicole and Andorella won the FEI Jr. Individual Test in the CDI!
