Mette competed in her first show of the year at the L.A. Winter Dressage show at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank last weekend. Mette was grateful for the wonderful preparation help she had from Birgitta. She brought three terrific horses to the show: Rockefeller, Basquewille and Cory Walkey’s stallion, Edelweiss de Bonce. Rocky won his first Training level class at the show and placed 2nd and 4th in his other two classes. On his first test, the judge wrote: “Super horse!”
Edelweiss was amazing in so many different ways. He has not been shown in a long time and this was Mette’s first time showing him, so she didn’t know what to expect. He behaved very well, not only in his stall, but also in the warm-up and show ring. It was a highlight to win the Intermediare I division on him in good competition. In the Prix St. Georges, they were beaten by only a couple of points and finished just behind Günther Seidel, Sue Blinks and Shannon Peters. (Note: A reporter from the "Chronicle of the Horse" called her for an interview about Edelweiss because he had done so well at the show).
