So, Seattle Jones has made the "big move up" to Novice, at the Carolina Horse Park, where he won his division on his dressage score of 30. Yowza! Now, Novice isn't that big in the grand scheme of things but, he's a 4yo OTTB, so winning the dressage is kinda awesome, and he did it in fabulous style.... jumped quiet and clean around stadium, galloped and came back politely on xc, not a bit of hesitation at the biggest xc jumps he'd yet seen. He also went to a schooling dressage show and won a test at First Level! He is going Novice again at TTC next weekend.
Revi is back in the recognized events now that the season is well under way, placing 6th at the Ark in Open Prelim and 4th at VA in the Preliminary Horse division. Dressage needs work still, but cross-country is a blast! I am developing confidence in her brakes, so the next event we'll be going full speed. The Micklem Bridle with the Happy Mouth mullen snaffle is just the ticket for Ms. Sensitive.
