Los Angeles Mid Winter dressage show

Really great start of the season for Mette and her horses at the Mid winter dressage show in Los Angeles.
Mette took her beautiful 5 year old gelding, Hertzregent out for his very first show. He started of his show career in the best way possible with three blue ribbons by winning all his tests with great scores in the 70''s. Mette was very pleased with him how well he showed of and performed in his test and also staying focused in this environment. She is really excited for his future with his great quality as a dressage horse.

Mette also showed Anne Solbraekke's horse Moosegards Rico in the open Prix St George and they won their first show together with 71%. This was a very large class with two CDI judges so Mette was very happy with their victory.

Mette's assistance Anna Dahlberg showed Lisa McDowell's approved PRE stallion Hielo Mor in second level and did really well. Mette's two students Tracy and Margie also showed their horses and both of them got blue ribbons in their forth and second level tests.

Great weekend for Mette's students

There were lots of mixed feelings over the last weekend. Mette was supposed to have gone to the show at LAEC together with some of her students. Unfortunately Mette had to go home to Sweden since her mom got very ill. Mette is very close to her mom and its very hard to be so far away when anything like this happens. So of course it was very important for Mette to go home to visit and be with her mom. This will also explain if any of you didnt get respond on your emails right away.
As of now Mette's mom is getting better and we all give her our best wishes.

Mette was very excited to have taken Finally out for the first time of the season and also her new young horse Regent together with Anne Solbraekkes two nice horses. Instead Mette is now planning to take them all out at the next show in LA in the end of the month.

Even though Mette didnt go, her students still went. Anna Dahlberg, her assistant, took her own young horse Lourdes out for the first time and they were very successful. Anna and Lourdes earned a score of 77,4%!! This made them High point champions of the show! Congratulations!

Anna also competed Lisa McDowell's approved PRE stallion Hielo Mor and received their highest score of almost 71%.
Mette's other students: Tracy rode her horse Piet in 4th level, Adrienne her horse Winston in PSG and I1, Margie her horse Dresden in 2nd level and Veronica with Apollo rode as Junior rider. Everyone did really well and Team Mette ended up with lots of blue ribbons!

What was the most fun about the show, except the successful rides, was the great teamwork between everyone. Mette was very proud of all her students and was cheering everyone on from Sweden even though she couldn't be there in person. She is extremely happy to have such great clients and we are all very happy to be riding in her team! Thank you Mette for everything you do for us every day!
