Happy Halloween!
Team Sperabo had a very fun Halloween party over the Halloweekend. We had 3 costume winners:

🥇Nicky, Heathrow and Potato won the most realistic costume! They were dressed up as Heathrow Airport, a pilot and her carry-on luggage.

🥇Linda and Daisy won the most creative costume and were dressed up as a Daisy and a Butterfly.

🥇Koen and Jube Jube won the best costume in the children's division. They were dressed up as scary skeletons.

We also played some fun Halloween games!

🥇Nicky and Heathrow came out with another win in the stride adjustability test. They were able to get 7 different stride numbers in a 6 stride pole line. They rode the line in 5,6,7,8,9,10 and 11 strides! Would trust them to land perfectly on any runway!

🥇Val and Frühlingsstern won the egg on spoon game, they were the only ones to make it to the canter while keeping the egg on the spoon! Showing off their dressage talent with a steady hand and smooth canter.

🥇Stella onboard Lucio and Maryam onboard Rosalita won the toilet paper tightrope. They were the only team to make it to canter without ripping the toilet paper! Despite their size and stride difference!
