Chellis and Rosemarie Crowned Champions!



Yesterday Chellis and Rosmarie competed at the Ontario Trillium Dressage Championships-Western Division.
Amid somewhat sketchy footing for the first test, Chellis the Fresian did not waver.
She won the Training Level Test 4, and placed 3rd in the Training Level Test 3 Adult Amateur to take the Amateur Training Level Championship.
Rosemarie is needless to say thrilled wtih the outcome. This was Chellis' first year in Trillium competitions.
Congrats Rosemarie! You worked hard and were well deserved of this Championship. You did me proud!

More Nationals Stuff




It's so nice to see a good photographer at shows. Don Stine really has a knack. I especially love this one of Allie in the "big trot". Albeit the timing is a hair off, it still shows how much the Princess has matured.
I've ridden her since the show, and am bound and determined to get her out of the baby classes. Our lateral work is coming along wonderfully, and we've started canter half-pass. My goal is to start showing her at 3rd level next year.

ESP Two Moon Junction+/ , by my calculations is now eligible to receive his Legion of Excellence now. That will put a +// behind his name!

So, we are back from Regina, now finally rested........now back to reality!

I'll be going to the Ontario Trillium Dressage Championships to coach Lauren and Rosemarie with Moon and Chellis. Darn-it, I did'nt enter Allie thinking that she would be tired from the trip. As it turns out, I'm the one who is bagged, and my mare was bombing around the pasture the next day!
