Surefire!!!




What a busy weekend, and talk about HOT!!!
First off congrats too Alexa, who had a fantastic weekend. Ending on her dressage score of 34 and winning on Serra Valleys Michael! She also put in a stellar test with Serra Valleys Mr. Wizard, earning a 31! Poor Wizard didn't like the footing too much and had a couple rails (unlike his usual careful self).
Congratulations to S.S. Buckshot! He ended 9th after a solid dressage test, a great show jumping round and a eager to please XC! What a long way this horse has come in a short time! We don't even have an indoor to do the dressage boot camp ;-)
Kari had the best dressage test to date on that tricky Knickerbocker, and after a great show jumping round (only one blond moment) the heat got to her head and she skipped a fence......OK she skipped two fences. BUMMER! They looked fantastic as the got thru the first half of their course and I have no doubt they would have had a clean XC to add to their record!
Emily was tied for first after a beautiful dressage test! Her mare gave her a hard time in show jumping, pointing out it may be time to back down and re approach. I am so proud of Emily and how well she rode.
All my Southern edition friends had wonderful rides Lindsey 6th (despite being sick), Margo won....AGAIN! Sharon rocked it in all three phases, the others winning ribbons as well.
It was hot and our horses worked their little red, grey, brown, and black butts off for us.
Next weekend is time to catch up with some family time, then Loch Moy!!!
