Up to the Mark, owned and bred by Donna Harrington of Avenir Farm, finished on his dressage score with two double clear jump rounds at his first AEC in Training Horse! ๐
Thankful for this one of a kind horse doesnโt cover him and all he does and is. He is new to the level since only May of this year, qualified, and placed 8th while showing great confidence tackling all phases of this championship event. I joke that all stallions are ruined for me in comparison to him, but itโs probably true. The deeply layered partnership and emotional connection of a stallion that we have built is something I hold sacred. Not to mention how he walks around the venue on a regular leather lead amongst everything and all horses SO relaxed that you would never know he is a stallion.
This is only the beginning for him, and Iโm excited to see where his talent, confidence, and continued development take us from here ๐ซ to all of the many who have reached out with kind words, support, and continually cheer us on, thank you โค๏ธ
