Dressage at Ardara

A barn friend insisted Gerry and I should attend a clinic at Ardara Sporthorses and I was glad we did. We audited and only stayed for the first-morning session, but got to see some fantastic riders and had a nice lunch to boot. The clinician was George Williams, would love to take a lesson with him, such a kind and understanding instructor! 

 

Dallas Does Dressage

I may have posted these already, but oh well, Dallas and me at Ellie Rawls barn for a caveletti clinic.

Dallas and Dressage

Dallas went to a number of dressage schooling shows. Our trainer, Kris Poole, showed him for us and they did very, very well. More on that at a later date with some video. (Yeah, that will keep you coming back won't it!)

I spent a lot of time this year learning to braid, and the first "hair" style I gave Dallas was this lovely running French braid. I was pretty darn pleased with myself when I finally mastered it!

Dallas and his first schooling show

Dallas went to his first show like he's been doing it all his life, video proof follows. Intro Test A score was 69 an Intro Test B score was 70; the Painted Prince brought home 2 blue ribbons. Major kudos to KP for a great job showing Dallas the ropes.

Intro Test A: 69

Intro Test B: 70
