I am so excited we made it in...wasn't sure this would happen since it is one of the best events in our area.
The jumps are challenging and beautiful...wish us luck!!!

We went to NW Equestrian Center to school the XC course last weekend...and just before getting to our destination the truck overheated.  Long story short...we had to stay 3 days instead of two, and managed to school XC every day!

Kara Gush it is, meaning "black bird" in Turkmen. She is closely related to our handsome Pasabi, and we think she will be tall and black like him when she grows up.

Area VII Young Riders Benefit Horse Trials, Chehalis, WA

8/12/2013

Marina and I went to Chahalis last weekend to compete at the Young   Riders   Benefit Horse Trials.
Marina rode in Beginner Novice, she had the best warm up ever...but she got flustered going in the ring..she went in before tthe bell, then after she started she went of course. They weren't as settled as in warm up and their score showed it.
They got a score of 50.5
I rode in my and Paktaly's first USEA recognized Training show.
I was pleased with my dressage test, although after getting my sheet I noticed I cantered at K instead of F and got 2 faults...
I finished with a score of 38.6 that put us in 8t place.
Saturday I rode XC early, and Paktaly, or "Turkmen Air" is his show name, was amazing. He jumped like a pro, never hesitated or looked at a thing.
I was worried about the coop to the water, it was murky and weedy, but he jumped right in!
He was great at the 2 stride...
And he didn't bat an eye at the ditch and log...instead he does his name justice...
Next was a steep little hill narrow on top with a log and back down. We finished with no jump faults and .8 time faults and moved up to 5th place.
Marina and Kegas jumped really well too, they kept their pace steady.
I was happily taking pictures of her and was ready to click when I noticed her not taking the jump...
#13...she rode right by id and instead jumped 14. She did have her birthday this weekend, and she now is 14....but she now was eliminated!!!

Sunday I jumped early again, Paktaly made it all look easy and we kept our 5th place.
Marina was allowed to jump, and she had a very nice round. Though lesson learned..we would have both finished 5th...

Ula rode her first show at the Hopeful level on Napoleon, she got 2nd place and cutest pony of the day award.
Claire has been staying with us for a month, she is visiting from France. She did her first show at the hopeful level.
She got the farthest travel award. She rode Pudding too.
Jenny rode Paelka in Novice, they did not place, but had a good time.
I rode Paktaly for the second time this summer at Training level in a schooling show.
We got a 38.2 in dressage and a clear jump round and finished first.
