Sorry for lack of updates lately people!
But I think you'll find it all for the right reasons.
After my last post I made the difficult decision to put Dobbin for sale and after rocking around a few more novices he found an awesome home with a little girl named Katherine from Eerie PA who absolutely loves him!!
Then began my search for a new horse, and after weighing my options between leasing and buying I finally decided that buying a new horse was the right choice! The second horse we went to look at was perfect! Mudville aka "Sasha" is a 10 yo OTTB mare who has been brought through the levels both by her owner and a small town professional. Competing only in Area I and III. She has a lovely dressage frame and great track record when it comes to the cross country! After buying her, less than a week later we made our event debut at LHPC HT and finished on our dressage score in the BN division. Then after several awesome rounds at the novice level we made the intrepid move up to the training level at VAHT. The course was awesome and really technical but I really liked it! Everything rode incredibly well and I really enjoyed the entire course. Not to mention the fact Sasha jumped it all with 3 shoes on! Finishing on our dressage score ended us in 6th place for a more than successful first training level together! Hopefully we'll be back there next year for the 1*
And it looks like Sasha and I will be headed to Aiken to hit four more training levels before we move on up to Prelim!
Thanks for reading
