Waredaca

Well I'm getting a lot of practice in the rain in the past few weeks...

This week again has had quite good results. Charm won for the first time at training. Simon finished fourth. Tali finished 3rd.

Both Frolic and Andy should have finished 4th and 1st, but due scheduling miscommunications they both finished all three phases clean but were technically eliminated. While this was very frustrating I was very happy to see how well they finished.

Leroy goes tomorrow...check back for results...

Day 1 of Dressage

After day 1 of dressage Running Order is sitting in 5th place...the second half of the field is set to go tomorrow...so hopefully we remain in the top 10...

The xc course looks great. We walked it a few times today and will again tomorrow.

The overriding theme of the weekend seems to be the weather. Currently were sitting in the mid 40's and raining. On last check this should remain for the rest of the weekend. Although not ideal it shouldn't hurt us too much. We're luck enough to be 4th to go so the conditions should be as good as possible.

Check back for more updates....

Morven Results

Both Intermediate horses were very good overall. Both could have better dressages...but jumped very well. Indy finished 6th in his second int, and Running Order finished 5th in his third.

The cross country had some tricky combinations that were handled very well by my horses. I feel quite good going into Fair Hill CCI** with R.O...I'm sure it'll still be quite a challenge, but he's ready for it.

Indy will continue doint Int. HT's this fall and a ** in the spring for him.

Duffy also ran training, he was quite good finishing up in 9th. He's headed to Waredaca next and then finishing up the season at the Va Horse Trials.
