The Cardinal Hill Farm group had a wonderful outing at the DLSC show at Serenity valley farm!!! For Reagan riding Spartan, this was her very first show and she did an excellent job,!
Ari rode her two horses, Aurora and Bear for absolutely amazing results! This kid is becoming a seasoned competitor. Her scores were outstanding, winning each class!!
Also back in the ring after a hiatus for college is Matt Luc. He rode Diminggo in training one for an excellent score of 66.7 earning second place!!!
Diminggo gets special recognition after his self-guided romp around the Serenity Valley Farm field....... Thank you Carolyn Geise for convincing him it was better to have a halter and human. No horses, humans or fences were harmed during his romp!

Our first time competing at the National Dressage Pony Cup!! Wow! What an experience. I think I got my steps in for the rest of the year!

WD 40, aka Willie, was a very good boy. He had been having lots of emotional tension when I take him to shows, and he was surprisingly good! We had a few silly mistakes that kept us out of the placings, but I am super happy with his progress. Photo credit: June Schull.

My student, Ari, showed Intro Level and Equitation on two horses that she trains herself! This was her first USDF recognized show. She was Reserve Champion Intro Level small horse with Bear (the black horse) and Fifth in Equitation Pony with Aurora. I am so happy for Ari. She has been working with me for the past three-four years and is turning into an amazing young rider! Photo credit Michele Shepherd

Special thanks to Michelle Shepherd and Ari, I am honored to be part of your journey; Perry Owen I couldn't do any of this without you!

Thanks to all the gang for support and companionship: Keli Will Katie Larson, Maureen Kline Alison Leigh Dianna Harmon Colten Parker holly barger June Schull.

I had the opportunity to attend the USDF Instructor Trainer Seminars over the past several months. There are three seminars: Riding, Teaching and Lunging --lunging horses and teaching riders on the lunge.

I can't say enough about this program! It stretches you, challenges you and helps you become better in so many ways. These seminars are open to anyone who wants to learn and grow. You may also move forward to assessment and testing to become a USDF Certified Instructor.
I'm especially grateful to The Dressage Foundation for awarding me a grant, which helped immensely in covering the costs.
