First Dressage Show - Ever!

Julienne Donaldson placed 3rd at Training Level 4 aboard Me and My Shadow. Judges praised the energy and the consistency of their ride.

Shelby had glowing reviews on her First Level 1, but because Me and My Shadow's tempo was perceived as too quick, judge scored 6s on gaits and rider, encouraging her to rock him back and play on his natural impulsion. Shelby

First Dressage Show in the U.S.

After a successful dressage career in Europe, Ray of Light became Jessica McTaggart's new partner less than 2 months ago. They enjoyed their U.S. debut at the GHF Three Horsemen Dressage Show immensely. Below is their warmup. Go to Warmup Image 2. Jess and Ray Warmup

In their PSG test, Ray and Jess scored 8s at extended canter, volte right and half-pass left. Judges considered Ray a "lovely type" and "super prospect"; Jess, a brave rider. Later in the day, a more relaxed Ray [shown below] was scored 67+ at his Fourth Level 3 test. Gaits and rider were scored 8s!

First Double Qualifying Scores
Jodie and Pallas achieved their first qualifying scores of the season at both Second [2.4] and Third Level [3.3]. The pair was a model of consistency.

First Show Ground Visit
Lia Faase introduced Dauwe Egbert as a non-competing horse to his first dressage show. Despite other horses, water trucks, and numerous other distractions, the pair kept their focus and toward the end of the ride Dauwe relaxed considerably. They look forward to their first competition, perhaps in May.
