NORTHERN HAWKES BAY DRESSAGE CHAMPS

WELL ,WE ARE IT ,LEVEL ONE CHAMPION YEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A so we had a great weekend coming first in three classes and second in one ,winning the challenge class with 73% and the 1.2 with 75%,after seeing the draw of who was in my class I got a little worried having Kallista in the class with 2 horses [one out of waikare by weltmeyer]is always a worry, but I thought no stuff it I can beat them and so I did ,All-White was very well behaved but does not like being in a yard or stable ,she poores the ground,eats the wood [any wood]or spins in circles,so not much sleep for me as I was parked next to her with the float and she kept talking to me,its all learning for her I didnt have to lunge her before I got on so thats a bonus,the travel wasnt too bad she poores the ground a little and gets a little sweaty,now we can have a couple of weeks rest .to clear the mind

ROTORUA DRESSAGE 16-11-2008

MORRINSVILLE 22-11-2008

Today[8-11-08] we went to Morrinsville its a little scary there the arenas are close together and not a lot of warm up area,but after an exciting start we won both test the 1.2 with 76 % and the 1.4 with 74 % that one included a big leap in the air as the horse in the next arena kicked the arena as we where going past,so another good day,All-white is learning all the time and is quiet confedend in the arena and is getting used to other horses coming close to her without trying to kick them so of to Rotorua next week hopefully with the same results.
