That splash of turquoise in the distance is Miss Maddie.

Great ride on Amazing Artie today, trying to get a few rides in before he’s off to Select Breeders Service for a couple weeks - I will really miss him, but it is time to backfill his supply of frozen semen for the upcoming breeding season. Owning a breeding stallion is never boring.

I was honored to be asked to judge for Tracy Zack's Eventing for the Cure at her beautiful Hunt Club Farms. I was also lucky to have Scribe Extraordinaire Julie Cannova there with me.

A very worthy cause!

October is a special month at Hunt Club Farms. For the past seven years, the Berryville, Virginia venue has hosted “Eventing for the Cure,” a charity event to raise money for local families battling cancer.

Wonderful Day at the IHAD Dressage Show at Skye Acres.

Janice Washburn Meehan rode Julie Cannova's Dutch Warmblood Gelding, Tempo, at First Level, scoring 62%+ and placing 3rd. Score would have been a little higher but Tempo opted to display a quality flying change earning the comment "Lovely change, not required at this level". 🙂 He was wonderfully behaved and Janice rides him beautifully.

Janice also brought her own OTTB Gelding, Coach Fudge. "Coach" is new to dressage and can carry a bit of tension. We had a good lesson yesterday that paid forward to today. Janice and Coach won both their Intro classes, with scores to 68%+ - earning them the Intro Championship. I was so proud to see Janice use the techniques we worked on yesterday to help Coach built his confidence throughout the first test, then really show off his gaits in the second test.

Finally, fairly new client, Jennifer Visconti, rode her OTTB Gelding, Danny in Intro and Training Level classes, earning 64%+ in both classes, missing first place by just half a percentage point in the Intro test. Danny has a history of becoming very unsettled at these shows that are held at his home barn, and has proved quite difficult in competitions past. This was my first time assisting Jennifer through this worrying situation, and Danny absolutely took to the coaching and put in two very clean tests with no blow-ups. So very proud of how well Jennifer did!

It was great to see so many friendly and familiar faces and I cannot thank David enough for always being such a wonderful "Horse Show Hubby", which freed me to be the coach I needed to be today. Thank you to Shirley for the video of Tempo!

A good day all around!

Congratulations to my friend and client Kimberly and her horse, Sinatra Style, in earning their first First Level score towards their USDF Bronze Medal and placing second in a six horse class.

Competing is still fresh for this duo and some of the balance found in the warm-up was occasionally lost in the test, but lots of highlights including a 7.5 for Gaits.

Style behaves like a perfect gentleman away from home, making going to shows about the riding, not about surviving. Well done, Kimberly!

Also (sorry no photo) Congratulations to Megan and Seydlitz H for putting in another Grand Prix Musical Freestyle. Alas, the music cut out halfway through, destroying a bit of the "flow", but Megan maintained her sense of humor and took advantage of extra "arena time". Thank you as well to Megan for coming back out to the show grounds to assist with Kimberley's ride, very helpful!

It was a beautiful day, Congratulations to ALL competitors! Finally, thank you to my hubby David for being Horse Show Husband extraordinaire - you made my life a lot easier today! XO
