3 solid weeks in Aiken

I can't say it's been all sunshine and blue skies, but I know that we have NOTHING to complain about! I feel so lucky to be in Aiken right now; we've had two days that we were rained out, and one morning that we were snowed in... again, like I said nothing to complain about, I am very very sorry to all my friends and clients that are at home shoveling that 30 inches of snow.

The horses are all loving their home away from home; we are renting stalls from Susie Beale and have plenty of access to ride out and are in very close proximity to all the event sites.

My horse list this year is even better than I could've imagined.

Sporting Days was the first event of the year for me. I competed 4 horses and coached John Nunn....
Sabrina- Sales mare, completed and WON her first ever event on a 28 :)
Beaujeste- 3rd place novice on dressage score
Eurovision- first USA event, 6th place training
Sprite- first ever event, 6th place BN
John Nunn/Smiley - 3rd place Novice

Full Gallop
Sabrina- rider errors in dressage but perfect jumping gave us a 6th place finish

Pine Top
John Nunn and Smiley had their "move up" to training level and finished 6th


Paradise Farm will be our next outing ....stay tuned!
