Just came off a win at Training with Vanity's Revenge at the Hillcrest HT.... finished on our dressage score of 32. After the Tryon schooling HT, where she was a bit of a freight train on xc, I tried Livi's old jumping bit (a myler with lifters) on her. Worked a treat--we were able to gallop and go for time at Hillcrest because I had fingertip brakes! Other than a kamikaze-ish leap into the water (at least she didn't think abou stopping, and my position stayed good!) it was a great xc run. She also jumped clean in showjumping again! Her dressage felt MUCH better, though looking at the pictures it is obvious that she is a bit tight in her neck at the canter still, and my right hand KEEPS POPPING UP at the canter. Ugh!
So this weekend we have the Foothills HT, with Revi running Training and Melanie and Drayco running Novice. Next weekend Revi and I are going to a clinic with Lucinda Green in GA, which is exciting.... I've cliniced with Lucinda before and she is GREAT, and she doesn't come around that often so I'm really looking forward to it.
The weekend after the clinic is the Tryon Horse Trials which is also the NCDCTA Championships. Following that I have a couple of students doing the FRC schooling HT on the 24th.... the day after the Parade of Breeds for which I think I may have committed to providing Irish Sporthorses and Thoroughbreds.... better line up some handlers for that.... and then the NEXT weekend is the Virginia Horse Trials!
Busy month, so hopefully will have lots more updates soon!
