The weekend started out with nice warm weather. By early Friday morning it was raining very hard. It continued to rain all day off and on. The rain helped the footing a great deal.
Carlingford's Forever (Galway) was in the Open Intermediate-A division and Wexford's Trumpet (Wexford) was in the Open Training-A division.
Galway had dressage and show jumping on Friday and Wexford just had dressage on Friday.
Galway had a nice test, he scored a 39.6 and was tied for 7th going into show jumping. Galway jumped a great double clear show jumping round and that moved him up to 5th. Cross country was Saturday for the upper levels and half of the training divisions. Galway jumped a super double clear cross country round and came in two seconds under optimum time. Wow! Galway finished the weekend in 2nd place behind Buck Davidson and Absolute Liberty. What a great start to the season.
Wexford had a nice test for his first outing. He had a score of 38.6 going into show jumping on Saturday. Show jumping and cross country for Wexford were in a forty minute spand between each other. So I had Wexford and I ready in our cross country gear for show jumping. As the day progressed more and more people were starting to do the same. Wexford had a great double clear show jumping and cross country round. He was tied going into cross country and we won the tie. Wexford finished the weekend in 13th. Everyone had a great weekend. Congrats to everyone! I am so incredibly happy and excited with how well my boys are progressing! Next show for us is Rocking Horse II. Galway will run Advance and Wexford will run preliminary. We will continue to fine tune everything with both boys for the next event. Thanks for reading! From sunny warm Altoona Florida we wish you a great week. :) Go Eventing!
