Alhambra earned two scores – 60% and 63% – at Intermediare I at our first time out. She was so good, had a few green moments at the new level, but she tries her heart out! She continues to surprise me on what she can do! Go Amber!
Bucky killed the Dressage Pony Classes at the Tryon Summer Show with scores in the 70s. Only his second show but acted like he’s done this his whole life. From kill-pen to show pony, I’d love to see this guy in DSE or Children’s Pony Classes one day! Terri Seignious also cleaned up with her GRP Beringer braving the heat and getting the rest of her scores towards All-Breeds and Year End!
Alhambra won High Point Musical Freestyle with her ‘Dancing Queen’ 4th Level Freestyle and got our remaining two scores for our Silver Freestyle Bar!
Lots of take-aways from the Laura Graves Clinic in Fletcher, NC last month. Groundwork and basics are so important! Grateful to have such an amazing learning opportunity!
Congratulations to Simone Rogge, qualifying for First Level with a high of 70% and two scores towards her Bronze medal! Bucky also did extremely well at his first dressage show, scored high of 69%, qualifying for Regional Championships, the Jovee Pony championships and won both of his classes on Saturday. Beringer also won all of his classes with a high of 72% with Terri Seignious and this was their first show together. Alhambra 67% on 4th FS with two qualifying scores and two scores towards Silver Freestyle Bar. Ritz 68% and won both of his Second Level classes and threw in a change or two (Third Level here we come). Leila Cuthbertson solid 65% on Training Level and two qualifying scores for Regionals with some of her personal best rides. Way to go!! Thank you Natalie Leder, Tricia Mills, Sandy Alexander, Elizabeth Sharpe!

Ritz won the USDF Horse of the Year Award – Reserve Champion for Training Level with a 76.724% out of 427 eligible horses. He will be mentioned in the USDF Annual Awards Ceremony, which will be held virtually on Sat, Jan 22 at 6:30pm.
Ritz debuted at First and Second level and won both of his classes with high 60’s at the Winter Wonderland show at Stableview. He had a few baby bobbles, but also several scores in the 8’s. The judge commented some minor inconsistencies but overall a very harmonious test and partnership. He is very confident in the show ring. This 4yo is growing up!
Alhambra Lxxiv competed at the 2021 USDF Finals in Lexington, KY in the Open Third Level Freestyle which she qualified for in 2020 Regional Championships. Due to Covid, the Finals were postponed a year. She scored in the High 60s and is looking stronger over the past year.
