Three lessons and one training ride and I'm taking the afternoon off since it is Sunday! And hot. Again. Supposed to rain tomorrow and then I hope it is dry Tuesday, Revi and I are going to be the demo ride for an ICP Level III Stadium assessment. Paul Ebersole is the candidate giving the lesson so that is pretty exciting!

Revi is doing well, she finished about midpack in the Training division at the Fork, still working on dressage! She ate up the cross-country course, and we are putting up mirrors in our arena which is already helping a TON with dressage! We will see how that turns out when we do VA in May. Thomas (Heather's horse) finished on his dressage score at the Fork, which was good for midpack. Then I rode him Novice at Longleaf and he had a good dressage test, a really FABULOUS cross-country run.... we were doing better than Training speed on a light rein, and loped over the last few fences to avoid getting a speeding ticket!... and two rails in stadium, he just felt tired. He has no muscle in his topline so it is to be expected, I can't wait to see what he looks like in a year though! Melanie and her horse Drayco did great at Longleaf, finishing on their dressage score for SIXTH place out of thirty!
