Today we completed a western dressage show with the WDAAZ at Chaparosa Ranch. It was a delightful show and a first time out for Anne and Milagro who did fantastic together bringing home a Reserve Champion, two firsts and a second in Intro Level.
Christine and Zultero turned out beautifully. Unfortunately to all of our surprise, Zultero began limping when he went in to test resulting in a scatch of all planned classes. Disappointing for this team for sure, but it doesn't detract from how greatly they prepared. They will no doubt succeed in their next outing. Thank you to the WDAAZ for putting on a great show! We'll be back.

Getting to work to create successful outcomes day in and day out--It's what I like to do: just shut up and get to work. And that I do.

It's a Saturday for Horsemanship Class. Therefore is looks like a used car lot in front of the barn! Horsemanship Class is like a mini-camp that comes with every riding lesson membership. Students learn an array of unmounted skills from our leveled curriculum during this hands-on class.

Maverick will go down as the easiest c**t that we started this year. What a fantastic mind on this guy. I'll be getting on him this week to start his reining training and I'm looking forward to unlocking his athletic potential with him.
