Leroy (Happy Valley) just finished his first intermediate in over a year. He finished 5th in a very tough division filled with a number of 4* horses working their way back to Rolex. Dressage was not bad, and he jumped very well. We did have an unfortunate rail in SJ, but ran around clean and under the time on XC.
Thinking of both Rebecca and Jan both of which had bad falls today...

Pine Top...
The snow melted and Frolic won!! Leroy was also very good...I was a bit conservative with time for his first run. He finished in 6th, but would have been 2nd without time. Paradise is next weekend...
Pine Top Day 1
Yesterday @ Pinetop was wild...I certainly appreciate all they they did to keep the event running. I finished up with my last test at twilight, riding at 6:15....we're off this morning for SJ and XC. Frolic and Leroy did very well, but no scores yet...
