After a very busy show season we have all enjoyed the beautiful summer that we had this year. Unfortunately, Mette did not go to Gladstone for the National Championships but has instead been home working for her new goals. One of her main focuses right now is to bring Finally up to the Grand Prix in the end of this coming season.All the horses are looking great and Mette is really excited for the new season to begin!
Finally finished last season's Prix St. George and Intermediare 1 in the top of the nation. Mette says that he is just getting better and better so it will be really fun to follow his progress.
Taison is also doing well and is looking fantastic while he is continuing to work to get stronger in the Grand Prix level.
Regent, who is still very young, got to enjoy some grass in a big pasture for a month and will soon be ready to come home to start his new "school year".
So it has been a nice but busy summer with lost of focus on the training for Mette and also for her students. Mette is really happy to have such a great group of clients and horses at the stable. Everyone is working really hard for their goals and has also very supported of each other.
In the end of August Mette gave a clinic at the Equistride Dressage Retreat in Michigan which was very appreciated by both the riders and audience.
A big upcoming news is that Mette has been asked, by the national coach Anne Gribbons, to be one of only four demonstration riders at the 2011 National Convention and Symposium, featuring the USEF National coaches.
The symposium will be held December 3-4 at Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego. We will soon give you all an update with more information.
Last but not least Mette would like to thank everyone for their nice comments on her Facebook page. Until now Mette has unfortunately not had any access to anywhere on that page. That will now change!
For her website Mette will get help from her assistant and right hand, Anna Dahlberg, to update the site. This will give you more and quicker updates in the future.
We are all looking forward to a fun and very exciting season so keep checking in to know whats going on!
It's time to focus but don't forget to enjoy every moment!
Team Mette
