A Full String at Fair Hill's August HT!


Fair Hill was full-on with a big string of horses competing Novice through Intermediate.  I rode 8 horses, Stacey rode Paris in the novice, jumping a super double clear in both SJ and XC and Jordan with Frenchy was 9th in the prelim adding just a little time to their dressage score.

Another Great Show at Millbrook!

Classic, Dday and Mclovin were all very competitively after dressage in the Intermediate division, with Dday on a 25, Classic on a 27 and Mclovin on a 35. 

With wet conditions, I took it slow on XC with both Dday and Classic, both jumping clear.
Unfortunately Mclovin wacked his eye in the stall overnight, so I withdrew him from the XC phase.

After a day to recover, the event allowed us to show jump Mclovin, who was first out with a double clear round.  Dday also jumped beautifully with another clear round and Classic jumped very well with only one down.
