Sorry I have not been in touch Virginia. We have been crazy busy with competitions and horse trying. Paradise started on Friday with Argie kicking off the Angelica crew. He scored a 24 winning the large open training division by 5 points. The kids rode later in the day with all of them competing at the training level. Everyone had good tests with Krisie, Lisa, and Erin just starting to understand the new level. Cross country and show jumping days were Saturday and Sunday and everyone finished happy and healthy. Both courses were quite big and technically difficult for the level and I was thrilled with the riding skill demonstrated by all the kids and horses. Argie ended on his dressage score in his last training and looks more then ready for his big preliminary debut at sporting days in two weeks. Connor ended third and Lisa fifth. Krisie and Erin ended on the top half with beautiful jumping rounds.
The most exciting news was baby Albee's (onyx) first horse show. He rocked the dressage scoring a 30.5 and had the second lowest score of the whole show. He jumped clean over his big "ameba" show jumping and got a big beautiful blue ribbon to bring home and show off to his brothers and sisters. We may have another Argie in the making!
We are thrilled to start the season with Connor being tied for first on the junior training usea leaderboard and Argie being second for the training horses. Good start to the season!
We will be home in 2 weeks and miss you all...
65 degrees and sunny!
