Bittersweet Sunday at Waredaca





On Sunday we had three Havarah horses and riders at Waredaca, and a 1, 2, 3 finish after dressage. Fran Loftus on Pablo was in Novice Masters, Katelyn Jackson with The Weazel in Novice Championships and myself with Beaujeste in novice horse. KJ recieved her lowest score of a 29 and Beaujeste also had his lowest score ever of a 25!

Show jumping went smoothly for all, and the weather was still beautiful! Katelyn was the first out of us on XC and she sailed through, making the tough course look simple.... unfortunately she jumped the wrong water jump and got a Technical Elimination. This will be the last event for Weazel and Katelyn as he now will be looking for a lease rider while Katelyn focuses on her new "big" horse. Beau and I were next out and this wonder pony had a tough time with the footing, he's ready for hind shoes and studs come spring! A few slips and one that caused us to miss a turn to a table left us with a hefty 20 penalties! We were all still very proud of Beau, he has come so far in such a short amount of time. Fran was last out and I have to say she made me quite proud. Her and Pablo had a few second looks, but Pablo is looking like a real event horse for Fran now... and if you saw how wild this horse was you'd know why that's so great!
