In spite of the truly terrible weather, Nila and Skyler had their best outing yet at the FEI Jr tests, scoring 64 and 65% with lovely comments from the judge. Lisa and Brady showed I1 for the first time in the snaffle, showing much improved self carriage and balance in spite of a few costly mistakes. Katy and Stoney had some highlights to their Grand Prix ride and learned more about what works in the warmup. And we came home only moderately soaked through and with happy and sound horses!

Katy and Stoney earned another qualifying score at Grand Prix, in spite of some errors and a reduction in quality from the (fabulous!) warmup. Katy is very pleased with Stoney's progress.

Nila and Skyler showed a solid improvement in the FEI Jr tests, about 2% better than three weeks ago, scoring 61.7%.

Lisa and Ari made a big step forward today, showing significantly better collection, connection, and engagement today. Some technical issues lowered the score, but they still earned the 2nd score at 4th level for Lisa's USDF silver medal!
