Mette and Rico are qualified for the National championships in Gladstone!

After a very successful weekend at the CDI dressage show in Woodside, Mette is now qualified to ride Anne Solbrakke's horse Mosegaards Rico in the National championships in Gladstone, NJ. Mette rode Rico to victory in all their CDI classes this weekend including a Intermediere 1 freestyle which is required for the final at the championships. Woodside is a beautiful show ground about 45 min from San Francisco. It was again a Cornerstone event and everyone did a really great job running the show. Along with Rico, Mette was also showing Finally in the open Grand Prix with two really good rides but still room for improvements. Mettes assistance Anna Dahlberg also brought two horses to Woodside. She won both her open PSG on Cory Walkey's horse Coby 727 and was High point of the day. Lisa McDowell's PRE stallion Hielo Mor did his first 3rd level and was only one point from first place. So it was no doubt a very successful weekend for Team Mette who brought home lots of blue ribbons back to LA. The Nationals in Gladstone will be held over two weekends. The small tour horses like Mette and Rico are going the second weekend, June 15-17th. The top 15 horses will be competing for the title.
