Winter Woolies Show

Scotty and I made the hike out to Pukekohe on Monday, Labour Day for the winter woolies show which had been cancelled a month prior, so really should have been re-named Spring Show! It was a hot beautiful day! Inhand Scotty collected 3 ribbons, 1st for Best Head, 2nd for Best Bay/Brown Horse and 4th for Gelding over 4 years.

In the afternoon Scotty collected 1st for Novice 0-3 wins, 1st for Open on the flat, 4th for trotter on the flat, 4th for paced and mannered trotter, 1st for best showing mount, I got 2nd for rider and we took out Champion Ridden Standardbred. Was quite pleased with how the day went, we just need to work on his canter! Next show is the Clevedon A&P show on the 14th November.

WRC Dressage

A few weeks ago I took Scotty to WRC dressage at Woodhill Sands, did 0.2 test, only walk and trot. Scotty was really good, I was really pleased with how he was and we ended up 6th overall (out of 13). The judge made some really nice comments: I really like the way you rode your horse in this test, you offered him a lovely quiet consistent contact to go into and when he gets there he's going to be awesome.Next weekend is WRC spring dressage day 2 and we'll be doing test 0.2 and 0.3 - really looking forward to it.
