Dressage Day at Fair Hill International CIC

It was a great day for dressage today at Fair Hill!  It was very exciting to ride in a shadbelly for the first time! On to cross country tomorrow :)

Morven Recap

I'm proud to report that Indy had one of his best dressage tests to date this past weekend at Morven!  Scores were running fairly high, with the top score in our division being a 30, a 38 being the second best.  Although initially our 41.7 doesn't sound too spectacular, but it put us right up there in the placings, and more importantly, I felt that I rode the test as well as I could have, and got the most out of Indy that I could have on that given day.  Stadium went similarly well, with one unfortunate rail, and cross country was a blast as usual.  We finished one tenth of a second away from the optimum time - pretty accurate with the minute markers on my new watch!  All in all, it was a solid event, leaving us qualified for the Virginia CCI * in May.  Our next outing will be in just over two weeks at Fair Hill, where we will compete in the CIC *.  Our season is off to a great start!  More updates and pictures to come.

Keep at your work everyone, we're approaching the highlights of the spring season, enjoy the weather, and everything will start to pay off soon!  Happy riding :)
