What a great weekend.

Postby Shirrine » Tue Aug 16, 2016 7:43 am

This last weekend is one of the best I have had in 18 months. I took Lewyn to our first dressage comp in 4 years. :D
2 prelim (training tests) on Sat and Novice (1st level) on Sunday.
We came away on Sat with 63.5% for both tests. First test I went in with a huge grin on my face and tears of joy when I finished. 2nd test was just as nice although I did run out of puff. Sunday were the 2 novice tests and first one was not as good. I played passenger and he play drop the poll and not be in front of my legs. The next test I got him in front of my legs and was much much better with a score of 66.5% which is a qualifyer for our states. Not bad for a pony who hadn't done a novice before. He is such a sweet sweet boy.
