The winner takes it all!

What a fun show!! I did 8 rides and won 7,it was great!
I rode My/Finally partners horse HerzRegent in the lower levels.He is so smart and clever,with 3 super good gaits,and has a very elegant look!He is a horse for the future.I really do like to ride him,every day is a fun day!!!
I won 4 classes on him,in mid 70%.Really cool! He also got one second!
Anne Solbraekke's horse Rico was also a star!!I did two PSG,and one Int I.Not only did he win all 3 classes,he did it with scores from 72% to 78%. He was so good,and I'm looking forward to ride him @ the Oaks,a Cornerstone show in San Juan Capistrano.
This time I will go into the CDI. Exciting and fun.Just 10 days away!!
Basquewille was such a good boy with his "new" rider Briana Beckworth. She got her qualifying score to continue her road to the Para Olympics in London.It was so moving to see him go.It was a long time since he was in the show ring. Basquewille was so proud,and looked so healthy and great,and Briana rode him so well,that is was a "win win" situation .
Anna my assistant rode her lovely 5 year old horse,to victory in one class with a score of 75+%,and was second and third in her other rides. He is such a cool horse,and Anna does such a good job! It's a great pair!!
I will end this time down here in San Diego with a clinic for the Para riders. I'm looking forward to work with the riders,and hope we will have a great time!
One more thing.....Thank's to Kim Keenan Stordahl and her "staff" for a fun and very well run show!!Everything worked great,and the show was more then all the others.This is a show to come to! Thanks!

Super first day at the Dressage Affair in Del Mar!

The first day of showing turned out to be really, really good. All four of us did a great job with very high scores. Best of all was Mette riding Anne Solbraekke's horse Rico. She ended up winning the open Prix St. George with a score of 78%, the highest score of the day of all classes, and I tell you, everyone was here!
Regent won both his classes with 74% so that means that Mette won all her three classes today.
Anna was not that far behind with her lovely horse Lourdes, they had one 2nd and one 3rd place with scores in the 70's. Adrienne on her horse Winston had one 1st and one 2nd in PSG and I1 Amateur. And last but not least Brianna on Basquewille got another great qualifying score. She did a wonderful job and Basquewille was very proud of himself.
It could not have been a better day than today!!

Taison

On one hand I'm sad and on the other hand I'm happy that my great Grand Prix horse Taison is sold.
I have had him since he was three years old and we have been together almost every day since then. He was the horse of the year in Training level, went to the finals in Lamplight as a Developing horse and did the National finals in Gladstone and so many other more fantastic things over the years. He has a heart of gold, super good mind to work with and always ready for anything. He left me happy, healthy and sound and I'm sure he will have a wonderful life with his new owner that loves him almost as much as I did/do. Tasion will always be on my mind!

So its time again!

So it's time again! This time we are going to Show-Park San Diego!
Regent will go out again.Not only did he win all his test @ the last show,he also ended up with the high point in the lower level.Great start of his showing career.
Finally will come with,but only to school.He will do his first Grand Prix,the last weekend of March @ the Festival of Horses,in San Juan Capistrano.A Cornerstone show.I'm almost there!
Basquewille is the real fun part of this show. He will be ridden of a para rider:Breanna.
My beautiful Grand Prix horse,who is now 21 will hopefully take her to victory,and he will be so proud to be out again! After I retired him from the GP circuit,anna rode him in PSG and INt 1.
Since then he is teaching my students the beauty of dressage, home @ Mill Creek> And now,he will go again.It will be so much fun,and I hope he will be proud! Breanna doesn't know him,she will ride him for the first time this Saturday.It is like a blind date!
Anna Dahlberg will not only take care of me and my horses...She is also bringing her own 5 year old gelding Lourdes.He did so well in the January show,and is ready to do it again. So cross your fingers for Breanna Anna and Me...we will keep you posted.
