Optimum Eventing

Boy did we get lucky with the weather for today's Foxberry Farm dressage show.
Lee Ann & Signed in Ink showed Training Level Test 2 scoring a 65.340% taking 2nd, and to keep the consistency going scored a 65.000% taking 2nd on Training Level Test 3.

Mary Catherine & Athena showed Training Level Test 1 scoring 64.230% taking 2nd, Training Level Test 2 scoring 61.720% taking 3rd, and Training Level Test 3 scoring 61.800% taking 4th.

Brylee & Phantom of the Opera put in lovely tests but clearly his movement was not the judge's cup of tea, and that is okay because you cannot win them all. They showed Training Level Test 1 scoring 59.800% taking 5th and Training Level Test 2 scoring 58.620% taking 6th.

Jenna & Bailey took two turns in the dressage ring as well for more exposure helping Bailey to understand we go places and do things. The scores do not reflect all that was accomplished today but that is how it goes with babies. BTW Happy Birthday Bailey, you now are officially 3. They showed Intro A scoring 50.310% taking 2nd and Intro B scoring 46.650% taking 3rd.

Lu & Deacon showed Intro B scoring 58.120% taking 2nd and Intro C scoring 56.750% taking 1st.

Melissa & Cruse Control showed Intro A scoring 61.250% taking 1st and Intro B scoring 66.560% taking 1st.

Way to go ladies, many improvements today even if they didn't show on the score board!

Thankful to Liz and AYDC for holding their small show because we had fun doing things there today. Lee Ann & Signed in Ink showed Training Level Test 1 scoring a 67.308% and Training Level Test 2 scoring a 64.310% taking home 1st in both classes. They also competed Starter CT scoring a 35.625% to bring home another blue. They also were Dressage High Point Champions.

Brylee & Phantom of the Opera showed Training Level Test 2 scoring 61.897% taking 1st, and Training Level Test 3 scoring 60.60% bringing home 3rd. They also competed in an Amoeba jump round and Starter jump round bringing home 1st in both.

Looking forward to their show in two weeks on May 30th.

Foxberry Farm's show yesterday was a nice relaxing atmosphere. Mary Catherine & Athena competed Starter CT scoring a 39.11% and jumping double clear to earn them 3rd. Plus they did Training Level Test 1 scoring a 65.0% taking 3rd, and Training Level Test 3 scoring 63.8% taking 4th.

Brylee & Phantom of the Opera showed Training Level Test 1 scoring a 65.19% taking 2nd and Training Level Test 3 scoring a 66.8% taking 2nd again.

Jenna and her new baby Bailey came and hung out as a non-compete horse and handled the atmosphere like a champ.

Also proud of Michelle & My Dodgy Endeavor for coming and showing Intro A for their first show together in GA scoring a 57.19% and bringing home a pretty yellow ribbon (3rd).
