So Far So Good: Aiken Off To A Great Start

The first couple of weeks of Aiken are already over and everything has been going great! Marie has taken the additional training, learning cross country, and her first few shows totally in stride and is gearing up for her first event as Sporting Days at the end of the week.

She placed 2nd at her first combined test, and third in both the intro and the beginner novice division of her first Derby cross. She is starting to develop a brave and careful form over fences and her muscles are starting to develop very well (she may have even grown!).

I'm looking forward to her gaining more experience and confidence so that it matches her incredible natural jump with the hopes of competing her in the Young Event Horse Series later this year.

I look forward to a bright future with my incredible baby horse!
Until next time!
