SO many great things today at Archer! Started with the endurance phase of the Classic 3Day for Opie and Sylvie! and I had tons of fun and learned a lot! Opie hasn’t shown since Rebecca last July, and she can out and KILLED it! She may be just like her mother and completely misunderstand the purpose of a brush fence 🙄 but at least she’s cute! Sylvie had her best show yet and the Roads and Tracks really got her on task! Next, Elsa and Ziva completed their first official TRAINING xc! They had a little glance off the skinny into the coffin, but were otherwise awesome! ❤️ Cosmea was a little too game and our rideability wasn’t always there, but when it was she jumped great! A silly rider error on my part caused a stop on the downhill ramp, but the rest was easy for her! came back from a tough Dressage day and had a lovely xc round! and Jimbo had their first xc and first event together, and though they parted ways due to a spook when a flag blew over, we’re still so proud of them! Jimbo has only had a couple months off the track and he’s awesome! My final ride was our golden boy, Owen for his first recognized event and he was perfect! No surprise there 😜 Owen and I are sitting in 1st! We then spent another afternoon hiding from storms in the trailer (how many horses and humans did we fit in there…?) and finally watched Dagny and Callie finish a very pleasant foot perfect xc round! Onto SJ tomorrow!
