Ok lauren and i are officially the worst at this sort of thing! But we are going to try to get back into the swing of this, so here we go... I just got back from the Woodside Dressage Show. Lauren held down the fort at home and lunged my horse for me since she didn't get to go. Instead I got to take Nancy B's other horse, Andaluz to his very first show! He is an ex-grand prix jumper who is just learning the ropes of his new life as a dressage horse. We call him Andy and he is a 12 year old Holsteiner gelding, with Accord/Landgraf breeding but I am not sure on the details. He is a gentle giant, being literally 18 hands. Im kind of short so I really looked like a little kid up on him! The show was so much fun! We met some of Ellens other students up there, and Ellen brought Aliano, Nancy B's other horse to school. Andy was a super star once he discovered he didn't have to jump and got a 67% in training level test 4 and a 64% in first level test one...Actually we only need one more score to qualify for the amateur championships! Not bad for his first show!
