Wonderful Summer

Fall seems to have arrived in Vermont as of yesterday and although it wasn't the most wonderful summer weather-wise, it certainly was a fantastic one for Fizzy and me! We are currently standing 5th for Grand Prix horse of the year- having earned a multitude of scores in the mid 60s-mid 70s over the course of the last eight months.

We did our first CDI a few weeks ago (CDI Saugerties) and Fizzy was a trooper in 90+ degree weather. There is much, much, much more in there, but putting in a solid, obedient test is first and foremost for the time being and that we did. We finished 4th in the Grand Prix with a 66.4%(2 percentage points off the leader) and we won the Grand Prix Special on Sunday with a 67%. It's been two years since Fizzy and I have gotten to stand in the winner's circle and have the National Anthem played for us and I must admit- that's something that never gets old!

Our next competition will be the NEDA CDI in two weeks where we will again do the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special. I can't wait!
