100 percent SUPER results for our horses at the Double A Horseshow

Yesterday was a fabulous day for us at the Double A show. Amy rode Ittybit in Schooling Hunter, along with me on Winston and Jenna on Rusty. (Rusty is pictured here with me at Dalton a couple of weeks ago...) All three horses were perfect and Jenna got third with me fourth. We all did the same class because it was a huge show and we were afraid if we waited until the end of the day for jumpers that it would rain and we wouldn't get to ride! Anyway, in the jumpers I turned the tables on miss Jenna! Monty and I were third and Jenna fourth! Monty and Rusty flew round the course cutting their corners like pros and Amy got two sixths with Itty who was switching his leads like a made hunter horse!!!! Trudy cleaned up and won just about everything in the afternoon. Olivia got a championship (Basic Hunter) on a very tired and well hehaved Nick who has been schooled twice a day all week and promised not to misbehave in the future! Nola schooled Sam who was perfect.

A nice sunny day...

Nola, Jenna, Amy and I got to ride in the rare sun at a beautiful private farm today. We got to go schooling at a gorgeous farm near Over The Hill Farm. All our horses improved and worked hard under Trudy's direction. It was so nice to be in a group schooling situation that WAS NOT a show! We really got some new stuff under our belts. Anyway, Mike is on his way home from his trip to Arizona so Shane will be happy. Wonder if it will be sunny again tomorrow???

Getting busier...have had no time to write!!!

The last few weeks have been hectic...lots of rain, mud, horses coming in and out and both Nola and I doing horseshows. This weekend was supposed to be the Dessin horseshow but it's been mysteriously cancelled so we get a break of sorts. Mike is chomping at the bit to cut hay but after two weeks of torrential thunderstorms, with another WEEK of rain forecast, he is being forced to wait. I'm nursing a smashed finger which has finally improved this morning after four painful days. All horses are good...Monty is going better than ever and likes his new farrier Brian who has helped his stride a lot. Tuffy is amazing...I rode him yesterday after almost two weeks off and he's just the same. He's very clever and learns fast but he still feels like a two year old under saddle. I may do some shows with him later in the year. Rusty blew away the warmbloods at the Dalton schooling show last weekend and proved he's the best all around horse ever! Now we go to the Double A horseshow with him and Monty to do jumpers on June 28th with Jenna riding Rusty. Doc is still out in the field at home...doesn't seem to care that he is alone. Lexie has a cut on her neck from where I accidentally cut her with the scissors getting her ear mats out. The vet glued it and it is healing. Big oops!
