Wonderful test at GMHA

Fizzy and I just returned home from a super successful show at GMHA Dressage Days. We had a really nice Grand Prix test in front of two very good "S" judges. We got a 76.7% with many, many 8s and 9s. I still can't believe it! I mean, I can because I know he is that good and it's my job to ride him to that level, but it was just surreal seeing the score!

I've made a point the last few months of making everything I felt we weren't super strong in stronger. For example, our one tempis are now much straighter, our left trot-half pass is now better than our right one, and our right canter pirouette is now better than our left one! Go figure.

We were supposed to do the Grand Prix Special today but I scratched because rain was forecasted all day. I didn't want to make him go in sloppy footing if he didn't have to and he certainly more than proved himself yesterday. I can't wait for our two shows next month and then the Saugerties CDI!

I also can't wait for our hay meadow to be mowed so we can start riding out there more. He loves working out and we've been going adventuring on the roads across the street from the farm. He is such an amazing guy I am the luckiest girl in the world.
