I am so happy with the outcome of this show weekend! It was wonderful to show at DevonWood, again, after all these years, and Noah Rattner and company did an exceptional job putting it all together.
Both my mares were rockstars! Heide is proving herself to be a true professional and down to business in the show ring. She gave two perfect tests – the second ride with more brilliance than the previous day’s, earning a 75.8%! Her character is hard to match.
Vixen was a new woman at this horse show, redeeming herself from the wild child behavior at the Heart of the Valley show. She got better each day, staying relaxed, even when her pilot had no idea where she was going. Third time was the charm, and she finished the weekend with a 66%, still with some costly mistakes, but all legs stayed on the ground. Best of all, Vixen had a great weekend of confidence building in the show ring.
Many thanks to Stephen for all his coaching and help to prepare us for this show – Mare Power!
My normal schedule will resume at Silver Tail Farm, so contact me for more information on setting up lessons.
