Fiona and I have done two other combined tests since the one below, placing first and fifth.  We have one more this weekend and I’ll be sure to send you an update afterwards.  She is such a doll, progressing daily and just loving her job.  It’s wonderful to have her right here in my backyard where I get to see her every day.  I’m still sometimes in awe of how lucky I am to have her and am so looking forward to our eventing future together.  J Take care!  Carol (07 Nov)

We won our Green As Grass division today.  Even though it was GAG, it was a respectable field of 8 riders with each horse/rider combination consisting of either an experienced rider with a green horse, or a “been there/done that” horse with a green rider.  We scored a 30.5 on our dressage test, receiving seven 8s (including 8s on both gaits and impulsion)!  Then she put in the nicest stadium round with a lovely pace and not even the slightest look at any of the flowers or other jump décor.  (07 Aug)

I took Katie to her first dressage show today and we showed Intro Test A & B. I am so excited...she did awsome. I was just hoping to get through each test looking like we know what we are doing. Well, we did a little better than that. She scored 65% on her first test and 69.5% on her second test and we ended getting 1st place on both our test. She was so well behaved and calm...I couldn't more proud of her. I will send pix when I get them from my friend at the show. Catherine 07-Feb
