Fun, somewhat spontaneous, show day at the USDF Poplar Place Dressage show. Declan & I showed at First 1 and the in the Test of Choice First 1. I didn’t want to learn two tests 🤣
We scored a 70.7% in our first go and then after studying the judges remarks, we scored a 73.3% the second time around. He won the first test by an 8 point margin and then received NINE 8’s in our second attempt. We earned High Point AA for the day. My favorite comment, ‘love your willing partner & harmony!’
Thank you Melanie Smith for your help! Thank you to Poplar Place Farm and Dr. Rachel for some great prizes - gastroguard, a cheese board & Daniel got a gift card to Tractor Supply 😆
