We love getting to help host the Ride a Test/Fix-a-test's at Majestic Oaks Ocala! Always educational and great meeting new folks.
Great turnouts and mostly decent weather this season. March got a little hairy mid-day, but we had some tough riders who hung in there despite the downpour!

Thanks to Susan Graham White and Wayne Quarles for being our judges in March and April. Nicki was the judge at our first event in February and also judged the additional short arena tests in March and April.

The Schooling Jumper show at Majestic Oaks went off without a hitch from the weather, providing the children with a tranquil morning experience. Ace daydreamed about jumping formidable obstacles, meanwhile Moose dozed off. Gwen reflected on the hardships of growing up as a young horse, and JJ took a rejuvenating mid-day nap prior to working in the Cross-Country field a few hours later.
