We may be starting our next horse show weekend, but we couldn’t forget about a NODA Rated Show recap from last weekend!
Last weekend was one for the DB Sport Horses LLC record books! By the numbers, we had…
-5 horses
-5 riders
-21 rides
-15+ hours of saddle time
And a whole lot of “firsts”!
Congratulations to Brenda, on her first trips down centerline with Kodak! They improved in confidence and fluidity every test, and Kodak seemed thrilled to be back in the ring.
Jamie piloted Draco around her first show with him, even achieving a personal best score! While Draco reminds us he is still young, his trust in Jamie led to beautiful tests this weekend!
Amy and Royal entered the show ring for both of their first rated shows! They found more balance and a steadier tempo with each ride, making it a successful weekend for this newer partnership!
Hadleigh took Nova into their Third Level debut, as well as their first ever freestyle! The duo has been working hard to find bend and softness in upper level movements, and their effort paid off this weekend with lovely scores!
Danielle and London performed their first freestyle as well this weekend! It was a crowd favorite with catchy rock hits. We’re looking forward to a fantastic show season for London, as he came into the arena this year with a level of trust, softness, and relaxation that has taken years to build. We are so proud of him!!
Thank you to the team who keeps both our horses and humans moving their best! A special shoutout to Shawn Nelson for a last minute shoe replacement, and DeeDee Duffy for the post-show adjustments on all of us!
And of course, a huge shout out to our horse show moms, dads, and husbands who spent the weekend out in the sun cheering us on, passing water bottles, and wiping boots. We couldn’t do it without you!
