The First Show of 2011
I took Taison, Finally and five students to the dressage show at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank last weekend. We all had a great time and all of us did very well!Taison had about 66% in Intermediare II and Finally received 71% in Intermediare I. Both horses were great. Taison is working his way up to Grand Prix and Finally is behaving so much better at the showgrounds and in the ring. It has taken a long time, but I'm really gaining on it. I'm so looking forward to 2011. I love my boys!!!!
Anna Dahlberg rode Cory walkey's horse Coby 727 in Third Level she got 69% and 71% in Fourth Level. She also rode Lisa McDowell's horse, Hielo, and placed really well on him, too. Adrianne Bessey rode her horse, Winston, in Intermediare I and had a clean, well ridden test. She put in a good ride and paid off with a score of 64%.
Tracy Ryan and her horse, Piet, rode Third Level, and even though her horse got a little strong and somewhat tense, Tracy was focused and rode very well. It's not always that easy, to pull it all off when you are in the ring, but Tracy did it. Well done! Anne Solbraekke rode her horse, Carri, in Training Level and learned a lot about how to ride in the show ring when there is a lot going on outside the ring. I tell you, it's easier to sit on the fence post and look in than it is to sit on your horse and look 
out! Anne is getting better and better and that's the only thing that counts!! Well done!We had a fun show. It's a great group of people, strong friendships and lot's of good food! Thanks' to all for a great weekend with good rides! Hang In!!!!
My next show will be the CDI, again at LAEC in Burbank. I might ride the open division and wait for the next CDI in March. I have a plan...Hopefully it will work out???
