How fun it was after all the hard prep work on painting and moving jumps, and hours of dragging to all be soooo worth it for an amazing day of cross country . Everyone had great rides and I got to steal a few. Thanks and for sharing the rides on your unicorns.

I have an entry to Woodside. I had to scratch so if anyone wants it, the office is willing to make division and rider changes. I would hate for it to go to waste!! Pm me!

This beautiful boy got the short end of the stick this weekend. He got to his first event and absolutely stunned the dressage, winning by several points on a 26.

Unfortunately Joe took a tumble off Morty in the prelim and with some bumps and bruises wasn’t at his best to give Blue the ride to finish the event.

In our eyes, you still won Blue 💙 til the next one.

Manu Forti’s Blue Clover had his show debut this past weekend at Yarra Yarra dressage. He showed in training level 1&2 and scored a 65% and nearly 72% on his tests. We are so proud of how grown up he was all day. Such great showing for this young stallion. Looking forward to his eventing debut!

Many thanks to his owners Steve and Laura Parker for trusting us with this process for their special guy! 🤩

Blue is a class 1 RID stallion by Touch of the Blues.
